Jeppesen is stopping paper plates as well. As an IFR instructor, I carry one device with plates, no backup. The student has their own set, I guess that's a backup. The aircraft I normally fly by myself have integrated plates so that's a backup. ATC has plates and I have a radio and a phone so that's...

Constant speed prop. Have very slight movement (noticeable) in mp and rpm. That confirms your oil pressure is fluctuating and it's not a sensor issue. I would ground the aircraft immediately. Do you have an oil filter? I would do an oil change and check the screen and cut open the oil filter. Take ...

Absolutely not. Constant speed prop or fixed pitch? The biggest advantage to the digital engine monitors is that they record everything. These recordings make tracking down problems like these in a scientific manner much easier. Read your manual or get help and download the data. Post it here or pm ...

I had this problem once. Applied ACF 50 (CorrosionX is similar) several times with several hours allowed to soak in, then a final application of Penetrating Oil #1 allowed to soak in for an hour and out came the drain. I've never applied penetrants to a thread that's upside down. Does it work? Oh y...

Sorry, I meant F. Appendix B is fine except that uAvionix will not publish any continuing airworthiness guidance for skipping friction, hysteresis, or scale error so you're wasting time doing tests that should not be required.

Without being very familiar with the TailbeaconX and having been provided a copy of uAvionics software to place the transponder in a ground test mode, many of the tests required by Car 571 Appendix B cannot be performed. As for the ADS-B, there is no requirements for testing in either the uAvionics ...

2021 numbers are not a useful metric. What was the AC CEO’s compensation in 2019?

As photofly has pointed out, none of the equipment needs to be TSO, but then it’s up to you to show that it meets the requirements for IFR when you request the VFR restriction removal. Each time I have had a client questioned by a TC inspector, we were able to get an email from the manufacturer sayi...

30+ years ... if kept inflated. If they are sitting around at 10 pounds most of the time and only inflated at annual, not nearly so long. Even without wear and UV damage most tires don't last more than seven years because of neglect. I would never change a tire by rule of thumb. Change it when it is...

During the biennial check it's 125'. CAR 571 Appendix F.

Lots of homebuilding around Calgary. I'd start here

I think basically the OP wants to move into the Air Force from the Army. There are a couple CF pilots on this board, hopefully they will chime in.

Maybe they don't have enough power to go that fast?

As a minimum you'll want a Garmin GPS175 and a G5 added. That still leaves you with only one radio and an old one at that and you're already over budget.

What's the nav indicator for the KX155?

Which province are you in?

Insurance has been mentioned. You will want to become familiar with CAR 625 Appendices B and C and make sure that the owner has done all the required maintenance. A guy came out here last month to do some training and after a couple flights discovered that the student's plane was out of annual by a ...

Came across this today.

When I was a CPL working for a non aviation company and the subject of using an airplane for getting out to Maidstone I called TC and asked them about it. The inspector walked me through the rules so that I understood what was and was not legal.

For a while he was the chief pilot . Theoretically I suppose any PPL in the company with the requisite skill and willing to pay for their own training would have been welcome to fly when they happened to be on board.

Out of interest - the PPL holders flying for a 604 operation - were they the owners of the aircraft (and operation) or flying for someone else? The TBM and the jet were owned by the individuals in question. The King Air was owned by a public corporation and the CEO would usually fly it when he was ...

I don't think you can elect to have a 604 operation. Either you have a private aircraft that's big enough to require one, or you're not eligible. I don't think there's any element of choice about it. Of course you can voluntarily try to abide by all the 604 requirements for a small plane, but you d...

There are actually a lot of highly qualified and experienced PPLs out there, they just don't hang out here.
