Are there private hangars for rent at KILM?

Anybody know what size/type plug the IcyBreeze Remote Control takes?

I am not current (late by a few months on my FR), but my medical is valid. I want to go and start up my plane and taxi it around. I am guessing that is legal since I don't plane to TO. What about a fast taxi on the runway?

Does anyone here know the manufacturer and part number of the infamous display panel in a KLN-89B?

I want to hook a vacuum pump up to my plane and run the vacuum-based systems (AI, DG, Brittain AP). Anybody doing this? Will a shop vac work or is something more/less powerful called for?

Looking to buy a one or two place system.

I've been listening to some IFR panel discussions and one of the controllers said that they got very irritated when pilots landing at uncontrolled airports failed to close flight plans, or took their good sweet time closing them. What are the penalties or sanctions involved? The one...

Fellow pilots: I had my review and then two months later received a complex endorsement. Does the endorsement count as a flight review, thus resetting the due date for the next one? TIA

Any recommendations on a shop that does interiors in the Houston Area? TIA!

I searched, if this has been discussed mea culpa and please point me to the thread. I came across a "Pilot Cooling System" that consists of a t-shirt fitted with tubing and a "CFC-free" aerosol coolant that you spray into the shirt as needed. The site (www.pilotcooling.com) claims 2-3 hours...

I have found a number of cable ties in my engine compartment (IO-360-A1A) that secure the leads coming out of the CHT probes to the spark plug wires. I have wondered about flammability issues and have not had a need to remove one yet, but if I do, what is the recommended replacement? I have...

FAA administrator says GA is the "fun flying" Federal Aviation Administration Administrator Randy Babbitt spoke at the Sun 'n Fun Fly-In over the weekend. Babbitt, the first general aviation pilot to serve as FAA administrator, said "the real fun flying is GA." Babbitt urged pilots to keep up...

My panel has an FM/Z light for "fan markers" and "Z beacons". Are any of these still working? Is there any way to find them (symbol on a chart)?

The FAR states: The only required navigational equipment is that equipment appropriate to the ground facilities being used. So, does this mean that you could have an IFR certified aircraft (nav equipment is not on the MEL), have an IFR ticket, file an IFR flight plan, and then do the...

I have a KX-170B driving a KI-209. In January, while I was doing familiarization training on my plane, my instructor tuned it to the VOT at KSAT and found it off by around 10 degrees. My KX-155 drives a cheaper KI-201C and it is right on the money. I recently retested the two and now find that...

I had a little hangar time this weekend with my baby and found some crusty groady corrosion powder in the battery box. It was not pathologic; i.e., punched through or anything, so I scraped it off and vacuumed it all out, cleaned the battery terminals, topped off the charge, etc. Now I am...

I am hoping (WX!!) to head out west on Saturday to a fly-in at an airport about 250 nm away. I'll be leaving a controlled airport, flying over a Class B, possibly in it, over a busy Class C with the final destination a little "out in the middle of nowhere" muni. I had a 20 year hiatus from...

These questions may have been answered here, but I could not find them. So, here goes: (d) Aeronautical experience for the instrument-airplane rating. A person who applies for an instrument-airplane rating must have logged: (1) Fifty hours of cross country flight time as pilot in command...
