Unlikely rodents since there appears to be no poop pellets

Perfect for training missions, ain't it??

I know several pilots who add some MMO to their oil for the last flight prior to oil change. I wouldn't dump MMO or any additives into fuel tanks though.

My RPM remained rock solid at 2400 throughout the 10-minute event.

Good point. Do you observe engine RPM drop when your mag goes offline for a short time?

Yep, this was my first thought as well. Just found it curious that a minor adjustment to RPM and FF immediately fixed it.

Oh, the momentary spike in EGT1 at 01:18 does not worry me much. The 50 degree increase in all EGTs and subsequently all CHTs starting at 01:05 does.

Timeline of events as follows: * I must say I did not catch the out-of-nowhere increase in all CHTs until I analyzed EIS data after the flight (although CHT3 only momentarily increased above 380F). * What I did notice was a drop in oil pressure from the usual 66-67 PSI to 64 PSI, whereupon I increased engine RPM from 2400 to 2450 * This immediately brought oil pressure back where I wanted it * I then re-leaned the mixture to 50 LOP (see peak in FF) The observed drop in oil pressure seems to coincide with an abrupt and rapid increase in all four EGTs and then CHTs and subsequent slight flutter in fuel flow and fuel pressure. The commanded increase in engine RPM immediately brought all EGTs and CHTs down to normal (why??), and they stayed there after re-lean. I am curious about the reason behind the EGT spike. This occurred at level cruise at 6500 ft at 61% power (2400 PRM, WOT, 7.9 GPH), approx. 45 minutes at this setting. Shown are EGT vs FF and CHT vs oil pressure (red line is 385F). The vertical line is both charts shows the time where EGTs started to increase. The complete timeline of the charts is approx. 30 minutes.

Mine didn't have the block, but there was quite a bit of sacrificial speed tape on the old tube.

Did you add any reinforcement to the trim tube or some sort of a sleeve to the bulkhead?

I got mine from Lubbock Aero last year, $254.21. Call Richard Jackson, (806) 747-5101.

I personally don't see much of a problem with public ADSB tracking or tracking history per se, as long as it is not abused Vector-style and doesn't contain personal information

ADSB exchange has history function. Goes back years and years.

Only the city and State.

Oh I'm not arguing with that!!

I guess the only theoretical argument could be that the slight nose up attitude during the F'd up landing attempt may prevent prop from striking.

Well, nothing wrong with the airport itself, unless you are actually trying to get to Brussels. But the city of Charleroi is positively ghastly..

The most worrisome part of this statement is your interest in Charleroi airport

Justin, I'll take it. Sent PM.

Which shop did the magneto work?

I believe @Greg Ellis got his

Bonanza

Still looking for one. Any leads appreciated! Called every MSC in the country

Imagine a safety pilot knowingly disabling an aircraft system resulting in an accident. Who will be at fault in the eyes of the insurance company and a jury of your peers?
