    FAA To Approve Use Of 91UL Fuel In Two-Thirds Of Piston Fleet

    It’s not that they can’t use mogas, it’s that their engines haven’t been tested and approved to use it. I believe Peterson wouldn’t test and approve engines that had such small numbers made because there was no way he would ever break even doing every engine in every plane. My Cherokee 235 with...

    Engine Oil Capacity (172) - Which Number to Use?

    Interesting, my 0-540 holds a max of 12 quarts but POH says don’t let it get below 2.75 quarts. It will fly all day long on 6 quarts according to the manufacturer. Many owners do realize that’s the max you can put in, not what you really need to fly. Remember with airplanes, about everything is double……

    Dakota compared to older 235

    If price doesn’t matter then definitely get the Dakota, I have owned 1966 235 over 10 years and love it! Yea it likes it’s fuel but I run it on mogas so not bad at all. What I like is I can fill just the main tanks (50 gallons) and still have 1000# of useful load while cruising at 150 mph for...

    Airport closed - Sunday 230CT

    I watched the incident on 36. A group of 5 came into land, they might have been all older TW Cessna, a plane was getting squirrely on landing so the bird dog behind him went around, he then flew a very tight pattern and ground looped it, it was a pretty violent loop, hope the pilot ok. Winds...
