    So youre saying all these Mooneys painted with Imron are not airworthy? Thats urethane, and actually the M20J SMM says its painted with Enflex III urethane enamel. I imagine the 1967 M20C manual says it was painted with lacquer. But you cant even buy that now.

    the limits are not adjustable. Its annoying when the tach gets to 2701 RPM and it starts flashing red, for example.

    The only aircraft I have heard of that is Cirrus aircraft, since they are composite, its pretty strict. And for some reason, propellers specify Sherwin-williams Polane on the TCDS, so yes, it has to have that to conform.

    the 124J hoses are similarly priced, and have an integral silicone fire sleeve, are a smaller OD, and have a better bend raduis

    I am with you, water flushes away all of the soot and grease and all of the dirt and all of the stuff that scratches paint and causes corrosion itself. Water itself is harmless., Airplanes sit out on the ramp for 40 years without corrosion as well

    Not quite. I have a 600 hour since new roller case in my shop

    I’ve posted the oil cooler hoses part numbers. Here they are again. And for fact they fit perfectly, no oil cooler flipping.

    No, because not all operations have the same risk. It’s the same reason I won’t teach runway turn backs, single-engine go arounds in twins, touch and go’s in twins for that matter, Pulling the power back below 500’ to simulate an engine failure etc. A lot can be learned from discussion, and a lot can be learned from doing things with altitude, but some things end up as accidents. Most of it is the same reason like the bonanza proficiency clinics don’t do touch and goes. You do you

    It’s not more training. It’s realizing that the operation can go from controlled to out of control very quickly. Muscle memory causes you to move the gear handle, thinking it’s something else, or thinking the phase of flight is something else. There’s a lot of planes that ended up on their belly because of this. I don’t want mine to be like that, and I’m not in that big of hurry to get the three landings.

    With the black max dehydrator, you just loosen the oil filler cap and it pushes dry air into it. No return no beads nothing like that

    Here is an 830 right in front of the pilot.
  14. jetdriven
    I feel the same. A 900 right in front of the pilot is as good or likely better than a more expensive 930 on the right side

    If you lose the display the plane is grounded. It was acting up severely with a friend of mine, but found out later that the plug on the back was loose.

    The wx950 takes a bootstrap XYZ output off the HSI. I don’t think the GI275 has that output
  17. jetdriven
    Ill take it
  18. jetdriven
    I think you have to have a HSI 275 for GPSS. I think Garmin calls it heading emulation.

    That looks like the hydraulic reservoir

    My McCauley prop has 3000 hours since new, and two reseals but still going good.
  21. jetdriven
    You said this: Posted 14 hours ago Lightning strike usually happens at the prop which can induce a high voltage spike at the alternator that can kill the alternator diodes and electronic equipment such as electronic attitude indicators. Vacuum systems are not affected by lightning. you do know that these electronic attitude indicators are powered also by backup batteries right? The G5 has a 4 hour battery.

    also, turbine powered aircraft cannot have a yellow arc. So the top of the green arc becomes the new redline. In my plane its 200 MPH. But older models its much less.
  23. jetdriven
    the FAA disagrees. there are over a hundred instances of folks losing control in IFR condition after vacuum pump gyro failure, with a T/C. And a bunch more thaty didnt survive. this is why they published an AC allowing substitution of a second AI in lieu of the T/C.
  24. jetdriven
    got an instance of this happening? Garmin electronics meet the FAA requirements for lightning strike protection.

    i think the reversionary switch is only allowed when you have more than one GI275
