    If you look at the 55% HP @ 2200 RPM, at 2300lbs which is what I weighed...Im dead on book.

    Steel bit lodged in the aluminum yoke can get dis-similar metal corrosion. Very common in aviation. Clarence Especially since we use the frame, engine to conduct electricity.

    I notice you have 2 GPS? antennas off center and right next to each other, never seen that before.

    How accurate is that gauge, what does it show when engine is off? What about low idle, when the annunciator light indicates low vacuum?

    Last time I was at 9500', OAT 14, FF 7.8, RPM 2300, MAP 21.7, HP 55%, IAS 128K, TAS 150K, I obviously run LOP, and flightplan for 150K

    I'm not, even using maps while driving or nautical charts when boating, its always north up. Im curious if people turn maps, charts? And what about approach plates?

    Ive read you're suppose to write "Canada overflight" in the remarks section.

    I think if powder coating retains adhesion and doesn't crack, then you should be fine, no oxygen, no corrosion. If it cracks or starts to form bubbles, then you'll need it redo it.

    Regardless of the source of the geese Sully and his crew had nothing to do with them being in their flight path. Or was the airline in the geese flight path.[emoji3] Did the geese file a flightplan?

    I guess M20Doc isnt the only eagle eye, we need a special forum to post pictures and have MSers diagnosis problems.

    Looks like your AS is reading 124, not 128 and your baro setting is wrong on the 430, it should be 30.19, not 29.92, that will effect the DA. A error of the OAT of +2 degrees means your TAS would be 1/2 knot too high. With those corrections I calculate your TAS to be 143K

    I would just remove the "at low altitude" clause, there is no reason to do uncoordinated turn at any altitude.

    The Taca incident was a result of heavy hail ingestion, they change the fan blades and nose cone to deflect the hail away. The ACI series is great but I wish they had more small plane accidents, Ive watch the aopa videos as well.

    There is no "both" position? There should be very little current coming from the battery, the alternator(s) should be supplying the power, assuming the batteries are charged.

    When they lengthen the tails, did they move the wing backward to compensate for the extra weight aft? My theory is they didn't, so the J with a small engine and long tail is tail heavy, once they went with bigger engines in the K, the CG move forward again.
  16. ArtVandelay
    It does, but it might cause a pop on your radios, I know of at least one case this occurred.

    The plane moves, the earth is stationary, I like my GPS to reflect this reality.
  18. ArtVandelay
    Always north up...
  19. ArtVandelay
    My Js elevators are in the down position, ie its already tail heavy, I wouldn't want any more weight back there, probably make the plane slower.
  20. ArtVandelay
    I assume that chart has a typo in the Fs climb, pretty sure they dont climb 300fpm faster than a J given they are the same weight. There might be other mistakes.

    Here is the spec sheet for the 650s, if synced the strobes pulse will be 2x3.6, the 500 is 3.8 so 11 amps in total.

    My 78J weighed 1744lbs as delivered, thats 996 UL. My electronic version of a POH from 1981 weighed 1838 as delivered, thats 902 UL. Then wingtips, thicker glass, gapseals, wing lights, cowl bridge whatever that is, and all the other speed mods added 52 lbs.

    Mine is installed in the footwell vent, looks like easiest place to put it. Although it is the easiest place to install it, most will be dissatisfied with the loss of accuracy doing so since it's too close to the engine and exhaust. Notice were your OEM OAT probe is installed in order to be accurate. It gets undisturbed air out on the wing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I would estimate its 2-3 degrees off (high), the probe is a lot bigger than the factory probe. Mine is on the pilot side away from the exhaust.

    Given how rare a double engine failure is due to bird strikes and the amount of drag a porous cone deflector would add, I think the engineers had it correct. canadian geese are big birds, these are not pigeons, which the engines probably can handle, and they fly in close enough formation that more than 1 may have been ingested. An easier solution is to start shooting the dam things!
