Your agenda isn’t everyone else’s agenda. don’t do that.

And if you’re worried about those things you can use the supplemental bottle. these portable generators are NOT good above 15k for two people or 18k for 1. Pressurized bottles and on demand delivery is by far cheaper, and better in every scenario anyway, so I don’t know why anyone would consider this. (Yes, I have tested this scientifically and am working to put together the data)

A lot of wrong in that comment. if you lose power and you’re on oxygen you should be descending and looking for somewhere to land. the portable oxygen tank is not required. It is however a nice to have. compared with the inogen which is very limited in its use, the Aithre is very light. I don’t think it has the same altitude limitations as the inogen.

You didn’t look at the pictures?

The way I read it, they replaced all of them and nose gear assembly.

That thing is toast. Stay away from it. There MIGHT be some good parts on it.

Wrong.

They didn’t just replace the nose puck, they replaced all the pucks AND it sounds like the front gear assembly. I’d bet they have every bit of that time invested to do that. to be honest, the hours seem high, but not astronomical. If this was a vintage C/E/F/G, it probably should have gone to the parts bin. You’re going to be into this a completely additional airplane by the time you’re done with overhaul.

I would expect they would. Maybe I’d expect an increase in oil temp. point is, arguably the most important one was not at normal operating levels.

I only looked briefly but I don’t see anything for TCM. I would suspect a call to TCM would result in about the same guidance as Lycoming.

Yes, you can use ASTM docs as a burn certification, as for ASTM there must be a burn test. I would not suspect the cheap vinyl obtained from Amazon came with this paperwork, or met the ASTM requirements. It would require a burn certification (even if placarded no smoking)

That doesn’t say what you say it says. In fact, the first sentence is “only materials which are flash resistant shall be used” followed by a period, not a comma. but we all know you only read parts of messaging that suit YOU. what that DOES say, and I’m just rephrasing exactly what you posted, is that all materials need to be flash resistant (which requires a burn certification to prove, or yes, an ASTM DOC, but you need to obtain that doc.) if the cabin IS smoking, materials need to be flame resistant (the difference between flame and flash). Still needs a burn certification then, which you inexplicably only highlighted half of, if there are no ash trays(or not Enough ash trays) you need a non smoking placard - which has nothing to do with the conversation of burn certification. why you posted this and thought it defended you position or was relevant only means you are an idiot or can’t read.

Another thing you can’t do, I don’t know how you do all the burn certification for 70$
