    PA-28 Nav Light Circuit Breaker Popped?

    Today when flying my Piper Archer II, all the lights were turned on (landing, anti-collision, strobe, and recog) except for the nav lights. A second or two after I turned the dial to activate the nav lights, the nav light circuit breaker popped and the avionics screens briefly changed...

    Erratic Fuel Pressure Gauge PA-28-181

    I'm back with another problem on my Piper Archer II that seems to have stumped the local mechanics unfortunately. My fuel pressure gauge needle has always tended to oscillate rapidly, but sometimes it oscillates around the bottom, including around the red of 0.5 PSI. Turning on the electric...

For some reason when landing specifically at KPAO the audible terrain warning starts annunciating on final and it does get annoying especially during touch and goes. This doesn't seem to be a...

    PA-28-181 Required Equipment?

    I am trying to determine if an ammeter (on the Archer, technically a load meter) is required equipment on my Piper Archer II. I get different responses on this from different shops and mechanics, and after doing some reading it seems as though the PA-28-181 does not have a Minimum Equipment...
