Same plane, same airline almost the same accident https://www.yahoo.com/news/planes-wing-hits-runway-during-003535414.html

Well I paid 1300 4 years ago for a kit. So given inflation I would say it is in the ball park, a little high. However, I have one on the shelf ready to go. Which is very sweet. I paid 125 for a fuel gauge. So I suspect using the same business model....250

2500

Personally, I think the no-back spring business model has worked fine. (I got mine last week) The business model is in hand, it needs to be extended to other parts without delay.

I will also say this. With a little litigation, Mooney's contract with Rochester could be broken as illegal restraint of trade, particularly when Mooney is unwilling to supply the parts.

I have had my order in for over a year.

If you find that number, let me know. I might be interested.

It is a nice dream. Wish it were so. As it is we have to trust in some wee gee board in Kerrville.

PM sent.

No I referenced "a little further north" as being north from KFFC (Peachtree City, GA) which KGVL is (actually NE) 039/66nm

As far as data connectivity goes, like ArtVandely I use my phone as a hotspot if I need data. As far as GPS goes I connect to my Garmin 345r via bluetooth. Reality is I have an iPhone 15Max and if I needed to navigate, it is more than sufficient screen to get me there very accurately. Finally, if you lose your panel you're not going to shoot approaches with an iPad (ahem!). Even if you are on top, dead reckoning will get you to where you need to go. I learned the power of dead reckoning when I used to ferry airplanes to PHNL from the west coast at a time before Loran C or GPS. I had a Loran A receiver which was a giant PIA to use. Reality is a good heading is you best friend. If you are off by a few degrees over a 1000 miles you will arrive within visual site of your destination. If you have not flown dead reckoning lately, I highly recommend you practice it. With practice you don't even need an E6b, you can WAG the winds close enough.

Except it was on a US Air Carrier Certificate. So it had to be maintained in accordance with US standards. Being foreign registered makes no difference. I have lots of Boeings with foreign registrations in my log book. Mostly Ireland.

NTSB says CVR was inoperable at the time of the crash and it appears had been inoperable for some time. Guess a CVR check is not part of the pre-flight or continuing maintenance. Figures. https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/cockpit-voice-recorder-inoperable-in-philadelphia-jet-crash/?MailingID=FLY250306036&utm_campaign=avwebflash&utm_medium=newsletter&oly_enc_id=5912C9519189D2Y

Engine has 2494 hours. Needs O/H. That's what you are missing. Add minimum 100K for engine, more like 120K.
