I have a little bit of a strange ELT issue. When I turn on the master switch, the ELT starts making noise (the classic ELT sound), coming from the unit itself. It is not sending out an ELT signal over 121.5 though. I've hit the reset button, turned it on and off, and nothing stops the noise...

Looking for an easy pull-over set of seat covers for my 1975 Archer. Any recommendations that don't require removal of the existing upholstery?

I am down there on vacation in a couple of weeks and am thinking about renting a 172 to do some sightseeing with the wife. There is a little flying service that rents the S models on the field. Has anyone here flown out of KEYW? Any cool areas to go or recommendations?

I invest a fair amount in 401K and stocks. Returns have been marginal over the last few months, which is no surprise given the current state of the global economy. After the meltdown of 2008, I really wonder how safe this stuff is when you realize that it can vaporize in a day. Makes you...

I have wrapped up the IFR written and am about to start my flight training portion in about the next several weeks. I'd like a comfortable hood that goes well with a headset and is comfortable. Did I mention comfortable? Any recommendations?

I am helping my dad with an airplane sale and have an offer from a U.S. broker whose customer is in another country. I have heard rumblings of a customs and paperwork nightmare that might ensue and make this more trouble than its worth. Has anyone ever dealt with this situation before?

Hey guys, I am selling this airplane for my dad; he has pretty much hung up flying and would like to pass it on. He is shooting for around $ 60K as far as price goes. This is probably the nicest 172P around. Has about 1440 on the airframe and 40 hours on the top end rebuild from 2008. I have...

Anyone ever owned a Cessna 205 on here? Despite being a heavy hauler, they seem fairly simple from what I am reading. Thoughts on this airplane? How is maintenance as compared to a 182? I have flown the T206H and loved it, but it is way out of my price range. Seems like the 205 can be...

One of the airplanes that I fly is a 1981 172P. I believe that the max useful load with full tanks is about 625-650 pounds. What is the most weight you have ever hauled in a 172?

Are there any areas of a P model (1981) Skyhawk that are prone to corrosion more than others?

I keep getting a bug to look at a 170B with metal wings and IFR-capable. I believe that these have the Continentail 0-300 engine. I did a search, but can't find what the TBO is on these. Any reliability issues with this engine? What are your thoughts on these airplanes? I am used to...

Anyone ever tried the weight & balance apps from iTunes? My airplane calculator app is only $.99, so I think I am going to buy it and see how it compares to the others that I use.

I just read something in the local paper this morning called "Web Trak", where people can track aircraft and register noise complaints against them at my home airport (APA) and other Denver area airports. Some highlights of this are as follows: "All aircraft on the map are color coded. This...

I know there have been a million discussions and opinions on this matter, but I have a "habit" question to ask regarding leaning and climb out. I fly a 172S with the O-360-L2A and an older P model with the 0-320-D2J. Let's say you are departing a field at sea level and want to fly VFR east...

Hey guys, Will the regs allow the aircraft owner to install a nosewheel shimmy damper on a 172P or does this fall into the A&P category? Thanks--
