    I was more surprised about the lack of vertical filtering. Don't see much point displaying traffic five or nine thousand feet above or below. But an impressive picture for sure

    Squarely in the 7500-9500 ft camp, WOT, 2450 rpm, 50 LOP.

    While I enjoy entering via "overhead midfield and teardrop" (2) for various reasons, including purely esthetic, I hate the amount of talking that it takes to appropriately announce

    I am across the Bay at KSQL. Drop me a PM; happy to stop by to chat!

    I very clearly feel a certain degree of skill deterioration already after 4 or 6 weeks. I wouldn't fly without a CFI after having been grounded for say 3 months or so.

    This sounds about right. According to St. Busch, there is no such thing as shock cooling..

    Well if you have another 201J and need a parts donor...

    Likely static system blockage. Could be water, could be a bug..

    This is just the MS version of a 3-second OCD test

    Mine looked even better until I undid the six retaining bolts to remove the lower cowl last week, whereupon the middle section of the duct disintegrated into a pile of black rubber flakes and a bunch of gray dust..

    Oh he very much is. Literally spoke with him yesterday

    LASAR takes preorders. 3-4 month wait minimum, and could be much longer. Call Dan Riesland.

    Both KPAO and KSQL have multi-year wait lists. You may get lucky at KRHV, a wonderful San Jose airport under a semi-permanent threat of a not-so-sudden closure. The commute from Palo Alto is not too bad.

    America's Aircraft Engines?

    Touché

    Good point, although the original post was about interpreting weather
  18. varlajo
    This is spot on. I can (and regularly do) run my A1A deep LOP and observe CHTs at around 260...280 degrees at altitude in winter. Oil remains at 185 degrees. No complaints from the engine so far.

    What would be an example of such interpretation that was beyond your abilities as properly trained PIC and affected your decision making? Disclaimer: Not trying to be a Richard; genuinely curious.

    2700 SNEW, 1 qt/10 h, regularly borescoped and not making metal. Expecting factory-rebuilt IO-360-A1A in early 2027 Fingers crossed!

    Are you saying I bought that bunch of shrunken heads from LASAR for no reason??
  23. varlajo
    Oh yes, the magical time 15-45 minutes after shutdown. Voodoo territory for sure.

    Your KTVL route works well, but you can also continue a bit further east, cross Luther Pass, and swing north towards KMEV. Another alternative is KAUN KBLU Donner Pass KTRK and then Spooner Summit Pass again. 11500 is plenty for any of those routes. Personally, I would not take Owens Valley route.

    Totally agree. It's like "Hey y'all, anyone having issues with 20W50XC? Let us know!"
