It's a Channel Wing Aircraft Built by Willard Custer. read about it here: https://www.custerchannelwing.net/ https://www.custerchannelwing.net/TheAircraft_bs.html Just another way to show that Bernoulli knew his sh*T

Funny thing I've noticed these days is that with ADS-B, I've had more than one controller call me in the blind when I am in "stealth mode" just to see if I was on frequency. I will always answer, but if I don't need air traffic service during a VFR flight, I probably won't make a call. But...

Wow. Some pretty good “rabbit holes” got opened up here. Bravo A couple of clarifications from my original posts. My experience with the FAA Stan Board was using the ATP PTS before the ACS was released. Glad to see the language was updated in the ACS since the PTS still used the term “partial...

Never thought my question would generate such good banter. Love it! Thanks everyone for weighing in. I’ll have to check my MVP install for the isolators, but my guess is there are there. I have flown the plane almost 300 hours since the install and I’ve not had any RPM indication issues. just...

Some great ideas here. I like the ferrite core idea. Amazon seems to have them cheap. Might be better than aluminum foil! As far as the magneto idea - not sure how that might apply here. The MVP50 uses the ignition switch to track RPM, so it there shouldn’t be any real voltage going there...

Nice catch! I hadn’t noticed that in the manual, and that would explain the engineer’s jump to the EMI cause. Guess this system might have some EMC issues My MVP50 is installed on the right side of the cockpit, and the RCP is just outboard of that. The data collection unit for the MVP50 is...

Worthwhile question for folks reading the thread in my case, all batteries were replaced last year, but the false alerts were happening both before and after battery change

Anyone else had to deal with the red remote "ELT TRANSMITTING" light occasionally showing the ELT is transmitting? Every now and then, mine does this (1-2 times every other flight or so). I monitor 121.5 and never hear the ELT, and I have called the AF Rescue center to see if they were getting...

Yeah, agree. This issue came up a couple years ago when I was the Chief Test Pilot on the LM-100J (Civil C-130J) when we were certifying the plane. The FAA Stadardization Board pilots were getting Type rating checks in the airplane using the ATP PTS (sim wasn't certified yet), and the PTS has...

Looking to get an idea of what folks have experienced during IFR practical check rides to meet the approach requirements in the ACS. Specifically, for a C-172 with dual G5 installation, the round dial airspeed indicator, altimeter, VVI, and turn coordinator are required for the certified...
