Interestingly they do not mention small bore turbocharged engines AT ALL.

Which airport are people flying into? The agenda shows a trip out to KPLK on Saturday.

One thing to remember if you hold a Class medical. If you submit an application for your next one, and there is some issue and are you are denied, you cannot fly until you get an SI. Not even as Sport Pilot.

For difficult medical situation, I would contact either Dr Brent Blue or Dr Bruce Chien.

BasicMed since returning to flying in 2021. No problems getting it. I get an annual physical from my PCP. Every other year I take a set of forms and he fills them out. I keep thinking I will do a consult with my local AME to get a 3rd or 2nd Class. But the only thing that would do for me is let me fly in the flight levels.

Those numbers look good. There is a relationship between timing and CHT/TIT. High CHT with low TIT you should retard the timing slightly. @jetdriven installed a SureFly last annual. I had higher CHTs and lower TIT, so the retarded the timing about 1 degree. That brought CHTs down and TIT up.

IIRC the BasicMed provisions state that the paperwork be kept in your PILOT logbook. I leave my paper logbook at home. I have electronic on my phone if needed.

It is self managed. Like your Flight Review. For the course, the date of the last time you took that is in your FAA pilot data. Look yourself up in the Airman Database and it shows there.

You have to be very careful with making more than a part for YOUR airplane. They group that tried this with the J bar locks ran into issues.

No, I was not longer with them by the early 90s.

Dave Cherry. I knew him.

When was he there? Name? I flew the A-10 with MD ANG. And the former squadron commander is about 4 hangers down from me. He has a T-34 and a Bonanza

Nice. TIT is a bit high. Have you checked your mag timing?

Some of you are assuming that everyone sees a doctor every year or so. Many people do not. I get a full physical every year (and yes it includes this). Every other year, I have my doc fill out the BasicMed form.

My favorite plane drawn by my second favorite plane. And the two planes I have the most time in make/model.

Clean engine with mineral spirits. Add some UV dye to the oil. Start, run up to 2000 RPM for 2 minutes and shut down. Check for leak using UV light.

All the Citabrias and Decathlons I have flown have two mag switches and a push button start.

If the plane is not controllable, then nothing you can do will change the outcome. My point is, to have pilots experience window or door opening to 1) show them it is not a big deal and 2) to teach them to ignore the distraction and FLY THE AIRPLANE.

I agree that in general, needing and overhaul is better than just overhauled. BUT, the shop that did the overhaul can flip that. A quality shop overhaul would be a good thing to me. A no name shop or known marginal shop would be a NO GO.

You didn't have to give details.

I wonder how you learned that.

1) I always treat a prop as hot. Even if I have the keys in my hands. Taught that by my Dad who flew lots of radial engines for the US Navy. 2) I always visually check the switches before touching the prop. They are easily seen through the pilot side window, even better if the storm window is open. 3) Mags Off sign. As I said before, instead of keys on dash, sign. Putting sign up on dash includes a check of the switches 4) Treat the prop as HOT, ALWAYS. The funny thing it, I have been great about turning them off. But have to admit I spun the engine a couple of times where it did not start. Yes, because the switches were Off.

Early reports said cargo door opened. So could have been one of the nose doors. Same thing applies, FLY THE AIRPLANE. I may have mentioned before, but when I was instructing in Cessnas, just pre-solo at about 500 feet a window would pop open. It always seemed to be the one on my side. Yes, we had discussed this on the ground a flight or two before it seemed to happen.

They set track records for THEIR CLASS. Not outright. LOVE my Fiat 500 Abarth. Hmmmm, 500 Abarth, E46 M3, E36 M3 LTW, Mooney M20K 252. Maybe a trend.
