    You need to look at the IPC for the part numbers. But, AFAIK, after the K, they have the riveted clamp subject to the Chapter 4 limitations.

    And this has never happened before??

    Old info. There WAS ABO at one time. But the switch to all bulk deliveries to filling stations moving to liquid O2, there is no longer a distinction. But if you want to ask for ABO and pay extra for exactly the same O2, from the same supply, through the same lines, you are free to do that.

    Except that ALL O2 these days are from liquid oxygen. If there is any water in the liquid oxygen, it is frozen.

    If they do not remove the valve, any vacuum applied will only suck out the rest of the gas in the bottle. And since the valve includes a short radius 90 bend, there is NO WAY to stick something in to vacuum out debris.

    Not sure about the G1000, but the GTX-345 saves that last 4 Flight IDs. So switching between your N number and a Call Sign (as long as it is the same each time) it pretty quick and easy.

    That's how that airlines do it. You just have to be willing to buy enough. MS group long term fuel purchase????

    That is talking about a normal climb after you get some altitude, not a Vx or Vy climb due to obstacles or climb gradients. And reduced power climbs were the normal back when that POH was written, but current practice is full power climbs to altitude.

    That difference is 6.5%, which on a 180 HP engine is almost 12 HP. 10 extra HP on a 252 is part of making it an Encore and 230 high gross weigh.

    One nice thing about LOP operation is that HP is directly related to fuel flow. For my TSIO-360, that is 13.7 HP per GPH. So 10 GPH is 137 HP, or 62% on my -SB

    Except there is no AOB. If you ask for it, they supply the same O2 as if you buy welding gas. A savvy gas supplier may charge you more.
  12. Pinecone
    Where is the requirement for cleaning? That would require removing the valve each time they are filled, and I don't see gas suppliers doing that.
  13. Pinecone
    The main fuel connection between the two is a set of -6 fittings. There are the weep holes that need to remain clear. I am not sure if there is a specific vent line installed with the Monroy STC.

    There is a different AD on the riveted clamp. It is only allowed to torque it twice. Then it needs to be replaced. So you need to make SURE you A&P knows to NOT remove the clamp unless there is a specific need.

    Initial BasicMed was an experiment. That is proving out. So time to open things up a bit.

    That blasted look is the same as the cylinder and piston looked on a CAP 182 after detonation.

    I did a trip about a month ago. I was headed to an airport that was going to have a TFR go active for a practice day for an airshow. GPS showed me arriving about 10 minutes AFTER the TFR went into affect. Just going from LOP to ROP, without any other changes, I arrived 15 minutes before the TFR. But at a higher cost for fuel.

    And how is that different than shopping an "easy" AME. Even the FAA says there is no difference in accident rate between BasicMed and Class 3. And a friend of mine flies for a regional, so holds a Class 1. He had a heart attack on final. He survived, but the Class 1 helped so much in predicting that.

    Sweet. I maybe could be tempted to join you if you do it again next year.
  20. Pinecone
    Probably repairable.
  21. Pinecone
    Good

    It is not just the seat, but it can be the brake pedal links. My 252/Encore had fixed links that put the brakes pedal well aft of the rudder pedal. So on landing, I had to raise my knees and get my toes under the brake pedals to avoid hitting them by accident. I sourced the adjustable links and when adjusted properly, it is no longer an issue. Just don't ask how much the links cost from Mooney.
  23. Pinecone
    But how many of them are in the 18000 - FL250 range for cruise?
  24. Pinecone
    Except there is NOTHING in the exam that deals with breathing or tolerance to altitude. There are NO REQUIREMENTS in the medical exam. The AME has nothing to base any opinion on that area. My PCP does a basic pulmonary function test every year on me. HE knows more about my lung capacity and possible obstructions to breathing that any AME I have ever seen.
  25. Pinecone
    The concentrator does not delivery pure oxygen, only enriched air. Also, compressors that can do 1500 - 2000 PSI with O2 (no oil, nothing combustible) are NOT cheap.
