    It was definitely a contact approach

    We’ve rebuilt and reinforced a lot of fiberglass around here, and we pretty much always use 7781 Aircraft fiberglass and you can use MGS or Aeropoxy seeing as how they’re both structural Aircraft epoxies. The latter is easier to buy in a quart kit.

    You can add more fiberglass to that close out plate to give it some room to pick up those rivet holes but still you shouldn’t have to build onto something that you already bought

    We have a raft. Send me an email

    It’s made with polyester resin. In this case it’s adequate but it isn’t for gear doors, for example.

    That part is art work but the joggle is even more work. FWIW the LASAR kit filler piece is chopped strand mat fiberglass. Easy to make with a mold. .

    You add 50’ to an MDA when using vertical guidance on a approach without a DA. But adding 50’ to an MDA is limiting you artificially to somewhat early go around from an otherwise normal approach. there’s a common misconception that descent below DA is somehow wrong or unsafe. I’ve only done it in the simulator but it’s also in the book. A 747 going missed from a 50’ RA will skip off the runway. Unsafe? Dangerous? Or designed in?

    It’s always a decision. Land or continue. And remember you WILL go below DA. Remember also that with approach lights in sight you can continue to 100 HAT. Then decide there if you have legal and sufficient reference to land. But still. also GAI has no approach light system.

    1984s had ETA. 1980 have Klixon. So somewhere in there.

    That aircraft has no HSI.

    We found a shop that will install a larger jet and They can put the fuel flow wherever you want it. And it’s legal. I’ve seen it a few times now if somebody installs either a power flow or an engine monitor on an engine with a power flow and find out it runs way to lean at takeoff power, you need to supply more fuel because the exhaust scavenges better

    For example. From this. https://www.faa.gov/documentlibrary/media/advisory_circular/ac43-210.pdf

    It’s not legal doctrine. It’s not case law. It’s administrative law and somewhere in their FAA handbook and procedures manual they won’t approve it. If you want to develop your own data you can do that.
  14. jetdriven
    The stc is proprietary information owned by someone. You can’t rip that off and use it as approved data for your own field approval. Try submitting it to the FSDO and they’ll tell you.
  15. jetdriven
    You can’t use STC data as “approved data” to gin up your own mods because you don’t own the data and didn’t pay for it.
  16. jetdriven
    He wanted 100k for the STC. And if you do the math, he was far above a reasonable number.

    Nobody’s looking at the fuel flow in a screaming eagle ovation. They’re too busy laughing and pointing at at the Airspeed….pilots first owners 2nd !
  18. jetdriven
    Or the same minima. 1-1/4. You are claiming it’s higher. I think you’re wrong. Also. It’s an LPV. It’s not dive and drive. In fact you can’t even do that as it has no circling minima. You could use LNAV minima but it’s way higher. And they have equipment for lower mins, so it’s nonsensical. Also the 1280 ft mandatory restriction 1.4 to threshold. the Cheyenne has a KFC-300 autopilot and it’s coupled to the glideslope. The Mooney has a century IIB and a stand-alone altitude hold. It won’t follow a gradient path. .

    We found one shop that had the DLC Lycoming lifters. We got the prop strike teardown to him and they put in a new cam and these lifters. Supposedly Lycoming Is shipping them now. Spruce showed availability a few weeks ago. They have 48 in California right now. 15B26588 is the P/N. I wouldnt put anything else in a engine build
  20. jetdriven
    Why would the minima be higher for a 135 airplane? And how do you know N108UC is a 135 airplane? You’re trying to make a distinction that doesn’t exist.
  21. jetdriven
    What’s the legal visibility for a category B or C airplane for the LPV 14? maybe they didn’t see anything at DA and that’s why they went missed. Also. Ceiling isn’t controlling for minimums. Visibility is.
  22. jetdriven
    The additive in the victory oil in no way resembles camguard. One is triphenyl phosphate, and one has like 15 things. None of which is TPP.
  23. jetdriven
    Yup. We just swapped an Ovation starter adapter because of this.
  24. jetdriven
    The STEC 30ALT has no trim function. So those huge speed changes aren’t really likely with that equipment
  25. jetdriven
    I had a real good phone conversation with Ken over at Lycon three years ago, and he has had several airplanes come back from a full 2000 hours and the lifters still look new. Now they’ve been out for a few years now but I have not seen a set of spalled DLC lifters yet. This is really good news
