Oooh techcedures the act of someone trying to pass (usually their) techniques as procedures. The antidote to someone infected with techcedures is to ask them to show me where that procedure is written?

One of the reasons I slow to below 80 kias before I lower the gear so as to put as minimal air resistance wear as I can on the gear components that move when lowering or raising the gear. Taking off easy to be below 80 kias, —landing not so much.

@LANCECASPER our resident Mooney history expert should know this (probably off the top of his head).

For me it’s the inefficiency of leaving the gear out that would bug me. Hell might as well go jogging with my shorts down at my ankles. About the same inefficiency.

Well Hank i guess you are putting one in tomorrow?

You will love it. Especially if you fly any commercial aircraft that has spoken radio altimeter call outs. Supper easy start flaring at 5ft hold at 1ft as the airspeed bleeds off and the mains touch down. So easy a caveman could do it.(borrowed from an advertisement)

Awesome list. To add 12. how to clean oil check valves especially from to the turbo. 13. how to clean and lube speed brakes as they are supposed to be lubed annually but how many A&P’s actually do this? 14. how to clean/ lube the jackscrew. 15. how to write a proper logbook entry as an owner. 16. How to pressure test upper deck intake to test for boost leaks 17. how to pressure test for exhaust leaks. 18. ring flush demo. What does a normal cylinder sound like and fluid passing through vs. a cylinder with a gummed up ring. I have heard it will not move at first but then as the crud gets washed away it becomes easier to pull the prop through. A video demonstrating this would be great as a video is worth a thousand words and would portray what is normal and what is not.

I’m totally shocked and glad they got this approved before this next FAA shutdown as that will effectively halt all other products seeking approval in the near future.

Uugh if lasar was indeed trying to do that it just makes Lasar feel like a slimy company to do business with. But they did deliver my wing top fuel gauges with a quick efficiency and wasn’t the cheapest price but they were not double the lowest price competitor either.

Interesting point and view. I hope you are right. And that their silence is not coincidental.

So would the dme show up on say a kn-64 from the trig feeding it?

Or maybe they will kick the can down the road like the government debt. Or maybe the political winds shift and lead is not the big bad bogieman that it’s been portrayed. There is an A&P at my field 80+ years old and i was shocked when he finished an oil change and just washed the oil and grease off his arms and hands with 100LL! I was like damn! Are you not worryed about lead poisoning!?! He was like well i don’t eat a sandwich right afterwards but been washing my hands with 100LL for 40plus years son and my health labs still don’t have me with any of that lead buildup non-sense. Made me question just how bad is the 100LL.

Can you display dme off the trig?

Anybody use the trig T56A?

Yes i bought 2 from lasar last week and they arrived today! In airplane parts world that is lightning fast!
