    World War II Airplane Art for sale

    Yes they are easy to research. Most of them bring way over 500 without the frame. The Memphis bell and ace of aces is bringing over 1000 in most cases.

    Red Bull Air Race Ft. Worth, TX Sept 6-7

    I will be going. My son and I have reserved seats that should be at eye level of the aircraft coming through. The 59.00 pays for both days.

    Dangerous flights T.V. show.

    Yep doesn't help much when a Banner Towing airplane lands between Interstate 20 and (on) Hwy 287 during rush hour in Arlington Texas. LOL Most people will not pay attention to something unless it shows someone suffering, in pain, getting hurt or acting foolishly. Now imagine that these...

    Thanks for all the information. For someone like me that really wants to understand everything about the aircraft they fly and the systems they use navigating these regulations can be an interesting journey. Thank you all for your input....

    Heated pitot tube for IFR certification

    So if I read this right I could replace the seat cushion in the 1956 aircraft without meeting the Part 23 rules however I could not do so in the newer aircraft. So the older aircraft does not need to be brought up to the Part 23 rules correct?

    Heated pitot tube for IFR certification

    I have done some research and the Piper P28 140 planes manufactured prior to the 80's may or may not come with pitot heat and are IFR certified. After checking the CAR 3 pitot heat was not required for the airspeed indicator as it is in Part 23. I have found several other instances where...

    Heated pitot tube for IFR certification

    I am more concerned about an insurance company finding a loop hole and backing out of claim. LOL If I purchase an aircraft that is IFR certified I expect it to be correct and so far if it was manufactured prior to the 80's it appears it may not be. The funny thing is everyone knows that an...

    Heated pitot tube for IFR certification

    Ok so if I am renting an aircraft I need to find out which Part it is certified under. I can't figure out how to go about determining this since the information is not on any of the certificates. Worse yet how would the inspectors figure it out on a ramp check? I guess I would need to just go...

    Heated pitot tube for IFR certification

    Correct me if I am wrong but Part 23 is for Normal (just about all GA aircraft < 7 seats) so wouldn't a 172, piper P26, Warrior etc... fit in this category? Airworthiness standards: Normal, Utility, Acrobatic and Commuter category airplanes.
