Women's Air Race Classic - calling other Mooneys?
Sue Bon replied to Becca's topic in Miscellaneous Aviation Talk
If I route the way I root, I'll just slow Becca down. Better for her to stay rooted in her own routine -
Women's Air Race Classic - calling other Mooneys?
Sue Bon replied to Becca's topic in Miscellaneous Aviation Talk
Yeah Becca! I'm routing for you!! -
Mine is set to on.

Oh. Oops. Thanks. In that case, select Logbook from the More menu....
-
If you tap Logbook at the bottom menu (bottom right, next to More) of your iPad, you will see a column on the left with all your flights. If the flight is not in your Logbook, underneath the flight you will see "Data from ForeFlight Track Log" in magenta. Tap on the flight and on the right you will see the flight with Delete or Approve. Tap Approve and the flight will be added to your Logbook. After you upload (download?) all the flights to your logbook, FF will give you the Recap in the Web version.

Let the games begin - MAJOR Avionics Upgrade.
Sue Bon replied to Pinecone's topic in Avionics/Panel Discussion
No. No, no, no, NO. Do not leave Mooneyspace. Please! Your experience and expertise are invaluable. Unfortunately Clarence left before I was able to forbid it I won't miss this opportunity. -
Here in Switzerland, all Swiss aircraft have HB-something. All Mooneys have HB-Dsomething (I am HB-DFA). There is one Mooney based at a different airport that I have to admit, I would never buy/fly.... HB-DIE

I was in the air once with N8888. The French controllers never got it right once. Even the pilots stumbled a few times. I looked it up when I landed and it was a private jet. I was wondering why they didn't do something to make it easier like triple8-8.

Well.... spoiler (and hint in case anyone needs it)... you're in it

I don't know! One person PM'd me for a hint. I have no idea if it was too easy or cryptic, or if everyone thought it was fun or dumb. Did you do it?

This is the part that confuses me. It seems like too much of a coincidence that the boost pump fails and the pressure is in the red at the same time. My shop opens again on Tuesday. I'll have them take a look and let you all know what they find. Maybe it is two separate issues.
-
It made a very tiny effort (I could barely hear it) before going quiet. The fuel pressure gauge didn't even twitch. After running the engine for 10-15 minutes, I taxied back and shut down. I tried the boost pump again and heard a tiny little whirl, then nothing. When I tried again a few minutes later, complete silence. The circuit breaker remained in the whole time. It was the sound of a motor dying IMHO.
-
Ohh, interesting! I didn't notice anything. Maybe I'll go look in the hangar tomorrow. It's been raining all day, so any evidence left on the apron will be gone.
-
No. Nor did I think to do a runup. Once the weather improves, maybe I'll go do both. But the boost pump really sounded like it died on the spot. I have a feeling it will need to be overhauled or replaced.
-
Yeah, as I understand it, that's exactly what he was saying. If the vanes broke apart, the flow would be less restricted, thus increasing the fuel pressure. I might be wrong.

Wife's initials. Excellent choice.

Thanks. I actually did call them. They said just that. I'll have to have it taken out when the shop opens up after the Christmas/New Year's holiday and see what's up. Thanks all!

So we're back to long N numbers. Great! Are you hikers or rock climbers? N201EE (Or a fan of Airplane, the movie? I have a funny story about this if anyone is interested) Love to travel? N201HH Lots of climbing or hiking holidays? N201HE American history buffs? N201YY

It's usually at about 27. It goes up to 28 with the boost pump.

I decided to go for an end-of-the-year VFR flight and had the following problems: The boost pump tried to work, had no success, and then gave up and died. I managed to get the engine started without it and then noticed that the fuel pressure was too high. I taxied into the sun and let the engine run for about 10-15 minutes and the fuel pressure gauge went down a bit, but was still in the red line. I decided not to risk it and put my plane back in the hangar. Are these issues connected? A CFI friend said the fuel pressure issue could just be moisture in the instrument and not actually a problem with the pressure itself. A guy on the ground that helped me push my plane into the hangar said he once had fuel pressure in the red that suddenly went to zero and he found himself looking for a field to land in. I'm nervous that the electric fuel pump will have to be ordered from the US and will take forever. I hope not.

Do you like to go dancing? N201TF (easier to say than FT) Are you an avid reader? N201RJ Mooneys are sexy beasts... N2SEXY Opera fans? N201BB For some reason, this question sticks with me. I'll keep brainstorming until you tell me to stop.

Yeah! And we could talk about our giant hangar that's just for us, and costs half of what I'm paying here... With enough space for a couch and a bar and maybe an old timer. Oh, be still my beating heart!
