No Joy on Landing Gear Extension - J Model
flyboy0681 replied to Brent's topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
I had the same problem about three years ago and called around to MSC’s throughout the country to no avail. In the end I found the assembly right down the road from me at Premier. I caught hell here for paying $2,400 and not replacing the relays individually (one comment suggested using a relay from a tractor). I feel I did the right (and legal) thing. -
Paul Bertorelli on the state of aviation journalism

Or acquire $10b worth of Intel stock. -
That Piper must be pretty noisy with that huge gap in the door seal.

Was the airport/facility affected by the flooding?
-
I just didn’t want this to devolve and go down into the proverbial rabbit hole. I’m just inquiring on what fellow owners are paying.
-
Let’s try to stay on topic.
-
Sorry, Dual. I corrected it.
-
What are you guys (and gals) paying out there for an OH, and what kind of lead time have you experienced?
-
Seems to be the trend. One of my favorite airport spots was the 3-Zero Cafe at Half Moon Bay. Now long gone.

You have a big, beautiful 750 (like me) and don't have it hooked up to a GDL-88?
-
On the outside chance that this can happen due to normal use, I carry needle nose pliers in my flight bag - just in case.

I went up with my instructor yesterday and shot several approaches from under the hood while using SmartCharts. I won't lie, it is considerably better than the government charts, mostly due to the removal of so much clutter. All that is presented is the information that I need to know, and the ability to select only the frequencies, briefing and missed tab at the top, well, is the icing on the cake.

With the new version I was two releases back. When I downloaded the update it brought it up to the release prior to the new one, which I thought was odd because I too was looking for the new feature. About thirty minutes later I went back to the App Store and it downloaded the new version. I'm thinking that GP needed to be at the latest release before it could update to the current.

Most interesting. Flight orientation would have been the icing on the cake, but it appears to be an incredible leap forward for IFR flying. It's a shame that that incredible panel (including Smart Glide) has to fly at such low speeds.
-
Since there aren't any videos of actual flights yet, I'm wondering if the Smartchart orients itself based on position. For example, if flying a course reversal, will the map and labels be oriented for the direction of flight or is it fixed like an approach plate?
-
Yup. Same shade of brown that my leak showed. Time to call Edison at Wetwingologists.
-
Someone once commented here that the greatest shock cooling occurs when then engine is shutdown.
-
I would assume that it was a generically made video to show future concepts of general aviation and that some guy living in his parents basement decided to add AI narration to it and included the M20. There may be a version for the PA-28 and Bonanza as well.
-
At least it has a glove compartment.
-
Interesting that there must have been ten shots of the interior, yet all were completely different. And one would make a Brit feel very comfortable with right had flight. What really gave this away as a bad AI video was when the price was mentioned, "Dollar US D nine five oh comma oh oh oh".

New Airplane to ME, and it was a Heck of a Delivery!
flyboy0681 replied to wood_fly's topic in General Mooney Talk
Great tale. I'm curious if the engine was broken-in prior to your journey. -
Hypothetical here. What about a case where the nose is high in the flare, some scraping is heard from the back, but there is no prop strike. Ok to go around?

This put the AOPA online planner to shame. -
Where to move OAT sensor to?
flyboy0681 replied to AndreiC's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
Same here. Not noticeably different, and the wind speed and direction on my GI-275 almost always agrees with the tower when on final. -
RPG is now a "modern" language with built in functions and web service capabilities. I have been a contract programmer for the past 40 years and never worked for IBM itself.
