But why are the diesels to replacement and not overhaul? Why can’t you still use the crankshaft case etc?

Yea all that torque pulses doesn’t play well with propellors of today. Like a hammer, the vibrations would yet be another potential problem that needs testing to verify.

That is jpi proprietary information.

Caravan is boots. You wait until 10 Kias drop then activate the boots which sheds the ice but you only usually get 5 kias back so a losing battle and only buys you time to get out of it when more than trace.

I don’t have a Bravo but if @Fritz1 is running 100df ROP on 30”/2300 and 18.5ff i find it hard to believe you are LOP running only 29”/2400 at 19.5 ff as your setting is more rich than Fritz1 and he is already 100df ROP. What measurement are you using to determine you are running LOP?

$3.78 at KRFI just south of KGGG where Maxwell is at.

When the IRAN is about the same price as the surefly and i will not have to pay for another 2000 hours for that side, it’s a killer deal. That and i have the pressurized mag that surefly doesn’t require so if I’m at altitude and the pressure fails or the mag i have the surefly to fall back on.

Interesting my 252 idles at 650 RPM and smoothly at 700rpm. I have a long down grade to my hanger so i am idling at 700 or less for at least a few minutes after landing and i have not had my turbo leak after shutdown. With continental recommending running the engine at 700 for a 50 RPM rise check and not mentioning anything about idling at or above 1000 rpm before shutdown to scavenge oil out of the turbo. Just a data point that idling at less than a 1000 rpm prior to shutdown doesn’t mean the turbo will leak.

That’s all great except the airport was/is paid for with federal money. Your examples are all city or state not federal. Toll roads are for the new roads they build. I have yet to see a toll applied to an already developed federally funded road. So not the same comparison. And at least with the toll roads i can choose to use that new part of the road or stay on the free federal road. For an airport to charge for their funded part of the airport fine. But for them to charge for use of the federal part of the airport is nothing short of stealing and should be prosecuted at a federal offense. Like vandalizing mail boxes is a federal offense.

Fake news.

Well they could use the people like me that are in the aviation field professionally and i used to use 100LL to wash parts with “gasp” no gloves on as a kid and young adult before this became a nono. Went to a holistic doctor that just knew i had lead in my body but when the lab results came back he was shocked i did not. Either the issue is overblown or my body seems to be able to remove what lead i do get into my system. My A&P routinely washes his hands with 100LL to this day. He is 78 been doing it all his life. He said if it has not killed him yet it’s not going to now.

I can just see it now, if the 100LL is more aggressive than G100UL but the G100UlL is striping paint before 100LL that must mean that the Lead in 100LL must be what protects the paint on the airplane! Who knew? -sarcasm switch off-

Hard to reinvent the wheel when the original was so damned round.

Well since the system tracks airplanes via adsb and photo, not to hard to have video of runways lights to tie together who damaged the lights and bill them for it.

If the airport is privately funded i could see that but charging for an airport that was paid for by tax payers dollars and then u want a fee because you setup a camera is theft and should be a felony since it involves federal resources. And if I’m flying a cross country flight and half a dozen airports start charging me fees when I didn’t land there I’m not going to pay.
