    I had mine overhauled. Did the pitot static test and it leaked.

    LASAR had them...

    Good to know. My next upgrade.

    Yeah, when I was a CFI 25 years ago, I always simulated an engine failure right after finishing a ground reference maneuver. No time for the checklist.

    Yeah, I fly your speeds on final. I also have the J bar.

    I have a Donaldson. No complaints so far.

    I have a check mate checklist. Everything is on there.

    Thanks for the replies. I checked all other plugs, they were torqued to spec.

    So I have an EGT probe on each exhaust stack. Rotating through them, number 1 was significantly different than the others, much lower than the others. In January I replaced all spark plugs and added a Power Flow exhaust. I mentioned this to my mechanic last week when we upgraded the ELT. We checked the cylinder and found the top spark plug not even finger tight. I've never seen this before. Any ideas as to what would cause the plug to vibrate loose? Thanks

    The extra hardware is for an initial install of plane power.

    The average weight for airlines are now 190 in the summer, 195 in winter. But it includes your carry on.

    I have an exhaust, removed from my 68C and replaced with a power flow. P/N K630060MA, less than 300 hours.

    Beeswax makes a fantastic lubricant for seat tracks also.

    Also, the airport manager sent out letters to all tenants last month. All aircraft have to be airworthy and in annual to be kept at the airport. Things are changing in SLC.

    I saw that plane today. It's parked across from me. I've never seen it move in 2 years. Lots of potential issues.

    These were new in 1987. Replaced them in January. The installer used the wrong hardware. Replace your hardware also, doesn’t add too much to the cost.

    Gyro plane was fun. I got a PVT add on a few years ago.

    I sent mine to LASAR to be overhauled. My issue was they wouldn’t retract. They found a broken spring inside the pump.
  20. Rjfanjet
    None at all. I do it most of the time.

    I have a Donaldson. I'm pretty sure they have to be replaced every 5 years or 500 hours.

    Pulling the fire handle will close fuel, hydraulic, and bleed Shut Off Valves. I assume it's residual burning. The video clip I saw was only a few seconds. I had an engine failure 15 years ago. A guide vane came off a turbine wheel and shot everything out the back of the engine. The fire warning never came on in the cockpit. Once on the ground, all we could see was a little smoke. Yes, we ran the emergency checklist for severe damage/fire, it's the exact same. It was weird pressing a fire button that never lit like it does in the SIM.

    CFI/II. C time only, located in SLC.

    Because 2 condoms are better than one........

    As flight crew, I don't wear a mask in the cockpit. Just when in view of the public and with the door open. Pretty sure every airline operates this way.
