The attached link is what had me "rocking the 152 wings a bit" at the beginning of preflight and letting anything bad work it's way to the sump drain. This got my attention when I was a student back in 2006. Hope it helps some of you that are training now ...

Never had it before, but multiple issues on one flight to Austin recently. On two landings (Class C and a Class D) controllers were already giving me an 'Exit taxiway Mike or whichever as the main(s) were barely making contact and the nose is nowhere near ready to come down ... also the taxiway...

Finally got to land this airport. Ski Telluride every year for the past 25 years and seen that runway all day each trip just beckoning .... some day was this past weekend. Winds were stiff at ridge level (35G45) out of the NE and reversed out of the west entering the gorge area from the Cones...

Aircraft has 217 total hours on engine since 2008. From 2015-through now it has only operated a total of <18 hours and is located in Florida. What are the odds for cylinder/cam corrosion?

Sold my Tiger and am looking to buy something in the RV line. There are a bunch being represented by brokers. My friend was also looking, but bought his a couple of weeks ago and warned me about one I saw on line that was fairly close. He traveled to see two in the same city (bought one of...

Attached is the youtube link. Half are videos I've seen before, but the ones I haven't were impressive. Only mistake was the "don't land on roads" video .... that pilot suffered an engine out and that was the only option in the area.

5T6 Dona Ana NM airport identifier has changed to KDNA and will reflect that on next sectional release.

Am in Austin, but am interested in things a close GA flight away excluding San Antonio (been there a lot). Hamburger runs, things to see, etc.

Have been chasing a problem with the oil temperature reaching near red-line since July (basically haven't been able to fly except test flights). Original mechanic ran through usual ideas (change oil sensor, check vernotherm, replace oil temp gauge, eval engine for major problem and blow out the...

I looked and must be missing it. How do I lower the volume on the "bitching Betty" announcements. The "traffic not available" annunciation comes on SO loud usually when nearing the flare on landings or leaving Class C airspace. I normally am on Com 2 rather than Garmin Com1 just to avoid this ...

I have a KX-155 28V with glideslope that the volume knob appears to be flaky. It works, but it is as if you pulled squelch nearly non-stop. If I leave it on but volume off for a short period and mess around with it, the squelch breakthrough seems to disappear somewhat. Does anyone know of a...

I've been using Foreflight since it's inception, and it's basically the only real APP on my phone (I actually use the phone for business and texts primarily - but like having ForeFlight on the phone and taking pictures). My son switched over to a Samsung Galaxy and I'm pretty impressed with...

This Saturday October 3rd Dona Ana NM (5T6) will have two events: 1. Angel Flight Fly-In presentation Francis Aviation FBO 10:15 am Includes Free BBQ Lunch and chance at $150 fuel card and other door prizes (flyer attached) 2. Spot landing contest between 7:30 am to 10:30 am. No...

This past weekend I took the AC out just for exercise (oil warming, battery, etc.) from my field Dona Ana NM 5T6 to Las Cruces NM KLRU. Approaching Las Cruces by radio traffic I am estimating 4 AC in or near the pattern. In reality: One inbound, one "helpful" codger on the ground...

I have an intermittent problem that is getting annoying. I thought I had a fouled plug issue as my right mag is horrible in the run up area especially after the mechanics do run up testing (was theorizing they were full rich and fouling the plugs). After several minutes of running lean...

Plane was in annual previously and has 3 hours since. At annual, an induction leak was diagnosed and repaired as well as a small oil ine and fuel line "cracks" apparently pretty intact (not leaking - how that works I don't know). Currently, when reducing power to 1500 RPM to land and...

Am wondering what concerns there would be regarding a water based paint used on an aircraft (experimental)? Reduced wear? etc.

I have an Electronic International engine analyzer and one of my CHT probes is beginning to buy the farm. My mechanic sent the attached JPeg image which I forwarded to Electronic International - problem is that they don't recognize the probe. they "think" it's a CHT/Tanis type combination...

Radio stack is: 1. Comm1 - Garmin 530 2. Comm2 - Bendix King KX 155 3. AudioPanel - PSA 6000 Problem: I hear over-powering squelch on the ground or when over-flying within 1300 feet AGL (especially if radio towers around). It is intermittent. I have shutdown each of the above components...
