    10 takeoff and landings towered

    This is the main point I'm concerned about. If the logbook remarks refer to the areas of operation mentioned in the regulation but don't specifically mention 61.129, what precedent does the DPE have for not accepting that? I read through the numerous past threads on this and associated letters...

    10 takeoff and landings towered

    This is all well and good, but as noted above some DPEs are pushing specific formatting requirements, which people are referring to as being “by the book”. Sounds like there is no such book!

    10 takeoff and landings towered

    Out of curiousity, is there a publication with specific logbook format requirements (e.g., referencing 61.129) published?

    Arrow II flight planning/fuel burn

    Why set 24/24? Why not keep the throttle wide open and pull back RPM a little more to achieve desired power? Arrow is fuel injected so you don't have mixture distribution to worry about. If you can't get the cruise power you want with the prop lever while remaining under ~4" oversquare (roughly...

    Arrow II flight planning/fuel burn

    135TAS on 9gph is about right in my Arrow III at reasonable altitudes. IO-360 is approved for roughly 4” oversquare (this is a rough approximation but the manual has the exact range). If you need to pull throttle in cruise you’re flying too low. I also suspect the limits in the manual are over...

    Insurance Y2K Exclusion???

    Fixed. This is why I wouldn’t take a “pilot error” exclusion either…

    Insurance Y2K Exclusion???

    I think subsection (c) only adds to the ridiculousness of this clause. Say I mistime an LNAV VOR approach, overshoot the MAP, and run into a mountain. Is that "occasioned by" the "unavailibility for use" (of the burning wreckage) due to an act of mine relating to time? I decided to go with a...

    Insurance Y2K Exclusion???

    They've got that covered in subsection (c) ;)

    Insurance Y2K Exclusion???

    They're either behind the times or 14 years ahead of time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem Or see GPS rollovers that affected flight systems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_week_number_rollover

    Insurance Y2K Exclusion???

    Shopping around for insurance quotes and received a sample policy with this wording: At first, I found this kind of hilarious. Thinking about it further, though, this clause seems incredibly broad: (1) "occasioned by" would imply that coverage is void regardless of if time failure is causal...

    For Sale Garmin GTX335 w/GPS + tray/connector kit (011-03300-40)

    Replaced this with a GTX345 in my Arrow. Worked perfectly when removed. This is the model with internal GPS, meaning it doesn't need to be connected to an external navigator (it does need a WAAS GPS antenna, not included). Includes green tag from WisAv who function tested it on removal. The...

    Intermittent Alternator

    Wow, this is insightful! I've been debugging an intermittent alternator for a while now and after reading this checked my monitor logs. All failures occured at 2500RPM. Going to have the shop check connections more carefully.

    PA-28 down, Florida Treasure Coast

    My thoughts exactly. It's easy to jump to conclusions on the spar bolt hole because there's an AD, but if the wing is going to fail that's (one of) the first place it will. If we trust the metalurgical conclusions (no fatigue), then that would seem to imply the airframe was overstressed. It's a...

    PA-28 down, Florida Treasure Coast

    See https://drs.faa.gov/browse/excelExternalWindow/DRSDOCID159830425420221019132116.0001 The SAIB clarifies that the inspection is (currently) one-time.

    PA-28 down, Florida Treasure Coast

    Yes, but the two entries have vastly different TIS and factored hours. Is the top (later) entry implying 1200 factored hours *since* the ECI in 2021? That would be 600h/yr which is possible. The interim AD is one-time, though, so this doesn't really make sense either.

    Is anyone able to figure out how these two paragraphs make sense? Which one is right?

    DPEs: how firm is the >50NM rule? Would distances of 49.5NM be rounded up?

    I don’t think that’s absurd at all. An applicant should understand the requirements. That includes the requirements for logging XC time.

    iPad choices, small single engine GA

    iPad mini 5 on the yoke for me. Having to look all the way down to a kneeboard to see the approach plate is not my idea of a good time.
