What is worth doing to a C172 these days?
Just looking at resale value here. It's '79 with the H2AD engine. Would the Centurion engine be worth it? Or is the Penn Yan conversion better? It has a old clunker of a Nav/Com so is a 430 or a good used KX155 plus say a 155xl a better option. Does a slaved compass system raise the value any? Say a...

Re: Gasline Antifreeze in Auto Gas?
Read the Cessna POH. It gives direction on anti-icing additives. Several products are named. Yes they are allowed. I've had 2 cases where aircraft were fuelled with blue 100LL in the summer when the fuel was warm. They got operated in the winter. I sampled the fuel under the wing and at the filter w...

Re: Unbelievable, double electrical failure...
I had a factory new airplane that pegged the amp meter when I tested the standby alternator but only when the autopilot was also on and in a certain mode (can’t remember which one). It also kicked the autopilot off. The factory said it was impossible. They said there might be 2 problems but they cou...

If there is a calendar limited item it has to be tracked from the time it was inspected regardless of the date beside the signature. If the amo started your annual inspection by completing calendar items then the date the next annual is due is according to the calendar. wood components is one exampl...

Re: maintenance signoff; when
Ask a lawyer. The only legal date to put on a signature is the date that it is, regardless of when the work was done. The date is legally part of the signature, and has to be the date of signing. I sort of thought everyone knew that.

I think if you look deeper into my posts, and hence my opinion, you'll find I've made it quite clear that, for the most part, I don't believe new regs are required.

Re: inspection questions
I've been making partial signouts on a couple of float planes for 6 years now. I list the sections of the inspections carried out and release it for return to service. I always track the next due time from the time I started the inspection so no items can ever go over 100 hours. I try to do AD's exa...

Re: More layoffs in YZF
Lots of companies lay off the high wage earners and keep the trainees.
If there's a high time float guy just laid off I might be able to but you on to a good opertunity.
