This always 'sounds good' but I've been curious how you implement it. Do you tell your A&P BEFORE the annual that you demand he accompany you on the first post annual flight? And, have you had anyone say, "no" and you moved on to another shop? It would seem if you ask AFTER the fact and he says, "no"...you're going for a solo post annual flight

The SB is M20-190B (and M20-191) The ADs are 75-23-04 (Duke's), and 75-04-09 (ITT)

Your logic is flawed if you do not have Verizon; this isn't a 'fruit' problem.

WOW! That works for me, as well! Private browsing on Safari on my iPhone and no problem accessing Mooneyspace! I immediately went back to normal mode and got the 'server not found' error.

That's exactly my scenario; and, I believe, pretty consistent with what others report. I also know that when I'm NOT at home I have NOT been able to access Mooneyspace on my iPhone for the last couple of weeks. So, IMHO, this is caused by something Verizon changed whether they admit it, or not. And, more to the point, I'm pretty sure they won't lift a finger to fix it. I suspect, however, that it's not just Mooneyspace that has been affected. Consequently, Verizon will probably have to deal with the issue in a time frame driven by how many other sites they've inadvertently 'blocked' (or whatever the proper technical term is).

For purposes of drawing out the experts that know better... What/who controls which DNS root server is used to resolve names? If Verizon changed which server is used and, for some reason, mooneyspace.com won't resolve on that server, then how does that get fixed?

No bueno on my iPhone with Verizon. (...server can't be found)

YOWZER! Any details on that?

Don't forget dealer prep, options, and Simonizing!

Sacrificial foot step for FAA inspector so he doesn't destroy your pitot tube!

Yes, I have no problem (i.e. NOT high cost) maintaining my 996TT (which does NOT suffer from the IMS issue; it doesn't have an IMS). There are plenty of aftermarket part choices, not to mention that even buying parts from Porsche is NOT as brutal as LASAR's recent pricing 'strategy'. Frankly, it has been the most reliable car I've owned and was my daily driver for nearly a decade before I retired. It's well over 20 years old and I still love it! I think it more likely that there is competition from multiple suppliers more than regulation. Of course, that plethora of choices is driven by a huge market size vs. the situation with our Mooneys.

Can't blame 'em for making sure they lose Other People's Money

Actually, at that point I suspect YOU and @Alan Maurer will finally understand usurious prices! Or, if you are rich enough, I guess you'll still "be very happy that they will continue to support Mooney airplanes."

What is the appropriate lubricant for the rod ends? Yes, I'm a bit lazy so I haven't looked at the MM but, IIRC, you still need to 'convert' some of those specified lubricants to presently available product. Is Tri-Flow ok? LPS? Or?

Me, too! IMHO, LASAR’s pricing is purely predatory and based on their monopoly. How else do you explain, as an example, charging over $100 for a simple seat roller that they previously sold for under 20 bucks? Sure, it’s market pricing and based on capitalism which is why I won’t rant “it isn’t fair” They are free to do as they please. As I am to bitch about it. I understand that owners which have spent north of $500K on their planes don’t give a crap about the part prices; they’re just happy to be able to buy them. But to be mystified why some owners (e. g. me) complain about usurious prices is some sad combination of elitism and naïveté.

@rbmaze My bad; I should know better than trusting AI. Looking deeper that answer is for a Garmin MARINE radio! It does look like you need to enter maintenance mode by holding down the ENTER key when turning on power. There is supposedly a setting for squelch threshold. I'll understand if you don't trust me on that one!

After you push the VOL/SQL knob and SQUELCH appears, THEN turn the knob clockwise until the noise stops, then push the VOL/SQL knob, again which will return to AUTO but with the new threshold set. As others have pointed out, there is likely some high level interference in your area so this new setting may inadvertently now suppress lower level transmissions you may WANT to hear in other locations; that's the drawback of a high squelch threshold setting.

Well, when my ‘primary’ GNS430W bricked, I guess I lived the ‘unusual’ and lost com, GPS, ILS, and VHF nav. Consequently, pretty happy I had my trusty KX-155.

That’s been my approved method

I know I'm a luddite, but I want to be protected against a GPS SYSTEM failure, as well. I want one nav based on something on the ground: VOR/ILS

My guess is some "smart guy" realized it would be faster by not wasting time 'spiraling out'; "look at all the machine time we'll save across thousands of holes!"

It's been my experience most all things were

Geez, guys! These are ROUND, how much time are you really going to save with all this fancy automation over a simple drill press and a fly cutter?

While it seems a bit high, my bigger concern is how much experience do they have inspecting Mooneys; do they really know the proper things to look for? And, my standard advice is to buy a plane that the owner has been recently and continuously flying. If the owner has been flying around, especially with his family onboard, that would be excellent evidence of a solid aircraft.
