    No, Never, when stuck on a plane, it's almost the most horrid thing you can do to a person

    NOPE, should def go on a short body first, specifically a 1974 m20e

    if true, which is suspect, i'm still in. sounds perfect to replace the brittain without costing more of a fortune

    fingers crossed, this might also be my first year. camping gear is already packed and waiting in the hangar

    just a thought, does that mean that maybe hooks will take a bit of govt money? would love a 20yr guarantee for that place. i'm scared one day the family will get an offer they can't refuse

    If anything like auto insurance, they will then turn around and raise your rates

    newer owner here, why isn't the airport covering the dmg? you'd think a hangar collapsing wouldn't be my fault. admitted, i haven't really read all the details of my policy or lease

    man, totally forgot about patches. think i'm gonna add a kit to the plane

    I noticed after reading the actual bulletin, following published leaning proc, I'd be pretty far LOP.

    nose wheel is easy. buy a tube and tire, find a jack, change it on the ramp. should be able to find someone to fly you to the plane for hamburger funds. maybe clean and grease the bearings while you're at it. if necc, get instructions from a mechanic. oh yeah, you'll need the correct size wrench and a "cotter?" pin. get the wrench size and correct pin from a mechanic just in case : Answers for Pilots: Preventive Maintenance - AOPA

    man, just ran across this on lycomings site, who would've guessed that instructor guy knew what he was talking about Leaning Lycoming Engines | lycoming.com

    I'd be super happy with a diesel. Certified Jet-A Engines (continental.aero)

    yeah, that dip at E will absolutely get your attention. I believe they are slowly fixing things, kinda tired of having my prop filed every annual

    just did a quick measure of kdwh, if google/bing is anywhere near accurate. say a few hundred feet. then i'm normally landing and taking off in 1000 to 1500 feet of runway. when landing 17R, i'm normally be able to exit by the Delta Taxiway. don't actually do this, you'll need a propstrike inspection. when taking off, the plane generally leaves the runway around the 1000 footers. Admitted, using 1000 feet of a 7000ft runway is way different psychology then if it was 1000 to 1500ft.

    memories, before getting my ppl, I installed a bunch of weigh/price/labeling equipment in that Harris ranch plant. Really hope to one day fly in for lunch
  23. McMooney
    M20E 2000ft, knqa. Some dumb guy didn't check notams before picking the airport. Runway was being reworked, they had temporarily shortened it to 2000ft. No drama or pucker factor, probably only needed 1500 ft

    that's the thing, it's one of my routines, NEVER deviate. if i have to fly 50 miles, i have 3 hours of fuel in the plane. if the destination is shut, I have all the fuel in the single tank to get somewhere safe.
  25. McMooney
    I follow the poh procedure, 1hr tank1, empty tank2, land on remaining tank1. fill up, if i don't have enough fuel. I plan all my flights around this procedure. max range including landing is planned to be 450 to 500 miles, no wind of course. can't remember when last i even looked at the gauges.
