Yetti Posted August 3, 2020 Report Posted August 3, 2020 There was someone talking about a Mooney flirting with the TFR. Boaters are like whatever Notice to mariners. https://www.space.com/boaters-crash-spacex-crew-dragon-splashdown.html 1 Quote

Blue on Top Posted August 3, 2020 Report Posted August 3, 2020 So is it me or does it seem like there has been a rash of IO-550 engine issues? (not only Mooney aircraft) Or is it that it is the only engine of choice for production these days? I ask because I was asked recently about which Mooney model should be purchased with the caveat of no TCM engines. Quote
carusoam Posted August 3, 2020 Report Posted August 3, 2020 What kind of IO550 issues are you seeing... Early on... they had oil cooler leaks... the kind where lots of oil gets dumped in flight... problem solved... The (n) version has shown some cylinder cracks in their fancy light (n) cylinders.... Best regards, -a- Quote
Blue on Top Posted August 3, 2020 Report Posted August 3, 2020 7 minutes ago, carusoam said: What kind of IO550 issues are you seeing... Engine stoppage ... and not necessarily where one would guess (at high power on takeoff). Not only Mooney, but Cirrus, too. Quote
carusoam Posted August 3, 2020 Report Posted August 3, 2020 Cirrus just has shear numbers of IO550s... to match their shear number of planes in the field... The oil cooler and cylinder cracks... they have plenty... Best regards, -a- 1 Quote
carusoam Posted August 3, 2020 Report Posted August 3, 2020 So... Do they call themselves TCM anymore? The old announcement when TCM was sold... http://www.teledyne.com/news-events/news-details?ID=261 Best regards, -a- Quote

Is that some sort of NASA inside joke or something? Missing rotating beacon so I'm sure FAA will have a fit. They certainly do not have 360 degrees of anti collision coverage. Nope, as space gets busier, they need nav and recognition lights just like everyone else. Transponders too. If you look carefully enough, on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Enterprise has red/green nav lights as well as blinking beacons. 2 Quote
