    Are the Dates of the IFR Pitot/Static Checks part of 100 Hour?

    I appreciates ALL of the replies to my question. I guess I wasn't clear enough when I asked it. I know the 24 month pitot/static check w/xpdr is not within the scope of a C-172 100 Hour inspection. That's to say, the typical A&P is not usually equipped or trained to perform the 24 month IFR...

    Are the Dates of the IFR Pitot/Static Checks part of 100 Hour?

    When an A&P does a 100 Hour inspection does that usually include checking the dates of the 24 month IFR Pitot/Static check and transponder? It's been a very long time since I last did a 100 Hour. I know I used to check the dates, but I was "the Maintenance Dept" for a tiny flight school and I...

I am an A&P mechanic and your description of the problem tells me it is just a problem with the tach cable or the tach instrument. I would have gone back to where you started or a convenient and comfortable...

    Is There A Grumman Guru In The House?

    A friend of mine thinks he has found a Grumman AA-1B nearby for $20k. It looks to have minimal radios and no ADS-B. I have just started looking at the Grumman Pilots Association web page and the Grumman Owners & Pilots Association web page. He wants me to look at it in a day or two. I need...

    It's IMC from Departure to Destination. At some point in cruise your com radios quit. In the days before Foreflight, what altimeter setting do you use if you continue to original destination?

    Career Change to Aviation (CFI)

    Yes, I'd consider a non-flying position. I mentioned CFI/II because when I was in aviation there was an endless need for CFI, CFI was one of the most common paths to move from Commercial license to something more permanent. I worked at FBOs during college in FL. I briefly worked as a...

    I appreciate your point. EVERYONE says they respect that job, or the people doing it. NOBODY, present company excluded, acts as if they respect it. On the road you're treated as an obstacle, at customers you are treated as the next hassle in line, and socially you might as well admit to smoking...

    Career Change to Aviation (CFI)

    I have more than 2.5 million miles, and almost 30 years, of experience in my former industry doing everything and working all areas of the country and every possible schedule. I hate it.
