I question the value/benefit of converting to the 65 AMP alternators. I have air-conditioning and a single 38 AMP alternator has no problem (in flight) producing the 20+ amps the entire...

Mark,

I haven't "enjoyed" the flickering panel lights yet - I'll keep your advice in mind.

I was getting the periodic flashing of the under voltage lights (like once every 5 seconds). The biggest...

Mike,

Glad to hear to finally nailed it.

Fortunately, I have not had this problem.

Something sounds strange to me. Why does changing the oil cause this problem to occur? Are you sure you aren't introducing some other problem, such as air...

Walter,

This is a fascinating subject - and I'll track you down at the GAMI or JPI booths new week to learn more.

Re: re gps

Bob,

The only time I've used VNAV was on the 530 - and I got hooked pretty quickly. It is a great feature. Tell me more about how the 295 works.

Mark,

I'm in the middle of having my inflatable door seal replaced (parts come from Riley). I don't know the costs yet, but the shop estimated something like 12 to 16 hours. Most of that time is...

I too recall the introduction sequence the same as Kevin. It was 90, 90A, 90B, then the 89.

Re: Turbos and intercoolers / part II

Bob, to the best of my ability, I've reformatted the table to make it more readable (at least in my browser?). I think this is what you intended.

Half-Hearted Defense of the FAA

Paul,

Maybe this is a long shot, but I'll suggest it anyway. Don't those old Cessna autopilots have a knob that allows you to turn the aircraft (overridnig the NAV or HDG mode)? I think it's a black...

Preoilers

Richard,

For preoilers, checkout www.oilamatic.com. I have no experience with this product, but it seems to me that the cam is the part that'll get damaged during a dry start. And since the cam gets...

Re: Certification

Larry,

After a shop visit once I had high EGT & CHT's. To make a long story short, the mag timing had been set incorrectly. Fixing that solved the problem.
