    I'm sure you can find an experienced Mooney pilot willing to help, that's what I'd do.
  2. peevee
    I find especially on pilot forums everyone already knows everything, I'm not really here to represent my employer and open myself up to scrutiny by the agency.
  3. peevee
    I also tell planes what to do, in a center however.

    What does Puerto Rico have to do with Canada? I don't believe an overflight requires eAPIS, and AOPA agrees. See the last bullet point http://www.aopa.org/Flight-Planning/Alaska

    since I didn't hear it first hand I'd rather not say. (wasn't in CA, just tagging along)

    I like to think we look out for each other, but it's sometimes hard to take advice from a stranger, even good advice.

    another pilot and cfi with a lot of mooney time told me this particular shop said send him a mooney fresh from the factory in tx and he'd find problems with it. Kind of tells me where he's at.

    if they didn't, maybe I'd get more hours in.
  9. peevee
    our last one was 120 hours, hah. But they found some issues. Nothing major, but a hundred bucks here, 10 hours there all adds up. I'm not bitter at all.

    the last MSC that touched our plane charged 15k for an annual, that wasn't for anything major. half the things they touched aren't fixed still.

    As far as I know it's the original 231 windshield. I'll have to get pics and revisit later since it sounds like an odd problem, I forgot today
  12. peevee
    Almost the other side of the country.
  13. peevee
    Sorry, yes on the outside. It's definitely plastic of some kind, about 1/8" thick. I'll get better pics.
  14. peevee
    Does this happen to be a common problem? We have some cracks in the plastic around the windscreen, it's unsightly but I don't know who to see about it, I'm assuming that whole piece would need to be replaced. I forgot to get closeup pics but it's right around the circled area.

    I want radar separation service, not just traffic advisories around here. Too many planes.
  16. peevee
    I'd trade our 231 for the NA sr-22 also, sorry guys. Far fewer tradeoffs with the -22 and a little higher margin of safety, in my opinion.
  17. peevee
    I'm the opposite, I want to be in that bravo around here because it's a busy VFR corridor and I want the radar service.
  18. peevee
    That's too bad, they're fine airplanes, really.
  19. peevee
    enjoy it! Beautiful area, don't forget the za!

    tomorrow looks a little better down south, the usual chance of tstorm in the afternoon and partly cloudy in the AM.

    they had two crew cars last fall when I was there. I landed and t/o west, on that west end approach it's sort of on a bluff and the wind can be squirrley, it's a long runway so for me I'd shoot for a little further down the runway, about a third. It's a pretty mellow mountain airport. Lots of room for a downwind departure in my opinion, and I was in a 182 at the time. Amica's pizza is fantastic.
  22. peevee
    Don't know if there's any truth to it, but the guy that checked me out in our plane said if that latch is undone the manual drive gear is engaged and strips out when you hit the electric drive.
  23. peevee
    Personally as narrow as the foot box is on our 231 I don't know if my foot CAN slip off the rudder, but any extra rolling would be pretty hard to miss and not correct immediately. I find the transition in and out to be quite smooth, as I find most things in the mooney (except my landings ) I like the discussion though, just because it's worked in the past doesn't mean it's necessarily a good, or bad, idea.
  24. peevee
    SO still being new in type, sometimes I find myself high on final, I don't want to gain airspeed and watch the airport go by my window, I find a slip works beautifully and the airplane slips really nicely and maintains the desired stabilized approach and spot on my airspeed. Wish my gear speed was 160. I'm a medium body, not a long, but I have speed brakes. I don't find they do much at pattern speeds.

    Guess my full size ipad 2 is just too wide, it'll fit, but barely and it's in the way. The air probably would be fine, it's an inch or so narrower no?
