    Tennessee PA-32 Crash

    Yes, “influencers” are the modern-day but legal equivalent of 1960’s payola. The amount of garbage I’ve read about the crash is unsettling. Some of it due to ignorance by armchair “buffs” and soe for “likes”. Sorry for thread drift. As an. Owner of the type which crashed, I have an interest in...

    Turbo Lance Fatality in Nashville

    Not to start an argument here, but as an owner of the same type (my S/N shows it was manufactured not long after that of the accident plane) if the clamp failed you'd bloody well know it. The fire started upon impact, not while airborne. If you look at the FlightAware trace, he was gliding at...

    Tennessee PA-32 Crash

    Very sad. The pilot bought the plane this past July.

    And he was cleared by TSA...

    … and who wants to play the part of Captain Dunsel anyway?…..

    Nice machine, both inside and out. Of course, I'm biased ;) Sorry only noticed your posting today! Welcome to the forum.

    Canadian airspace transponder diversity requirements (good news)

    Thanks, Orest, for making this make more sense to me. I certainly blame myself more than the avionics technician, but in the end it was "only" a few AMU's and hopefully I gained at least some reliability. My middle name must be "Others". Fellow Canadians will understand the reference 😁

    Canadian airspace transponder diversity requirements (good news)

    So if I understand correctly, the PAPR report is all that is required, as long as the results of the "Flight ID Validation" is deemed acceptable in all categories? If so, I don't necessarily regret the investment which I made (I just sold my GTX345, which significantly defrayed the cost of...

    Review of International Air Rally 2023

    This organization has been soliciting me for the past 10 years. No idea how I ended up on their emailing-list but the program sounded interesting and their on-line presence looked very professional so I called them and got more info. At that time (perhaps about 7-8 years ago?), for those...

    Review of International Air Rally 2023

    Is this the same as the "The Governor General’s Cup Air Rally" which solicits in Canada?

    Canadian airspace transponder diversity requirements (good news)

    All very true, although the ground-based radar is nothing like the satellite network, and I want to be able to fly to the USA without any issues which might be caused by shadowing effect of terrain, or by the belly-mounted positioning of the pre-existing antenna, and vice-versa. One of my...

    Canadian airspace transponder diversity requirements (good news)

    Hi, Sanjiv, It's not 90% coverage that is the concern; it's that according to the technician, in his experience 10% of the time the aircraft fuselage will obstruct reception and transmission by a top-mounted antenna to receiving ground stations. The advantage of the Garmin GTX345D is that...

    Canadian airspace transponder diversity requirements (good news)

    Not to complicate this discussion (and thank you @orest for the info), my situation may shed some light (or darkness) on the issue of antenna diversity. I am in Canada and own a Pa32 with a Garmin GTX345 ADS-B in & out and a conventional ball-type antenna on the belly. The requirement for ADS-B...

    Piper Air Vents

    I installed the replacement vents from Obvious Innovations a couple of days ago (during my annual inspection, no less). Incredibly simple installation, and far easier to manipulate the vent ports when compared to the originals. Also much, much sturdier, and easier to install than the originals...

    Piper Air Vents

    I just purchased a set of 4 for my Pa32 through Aircraft Spruce Canada. Product looks great and well thought-out in the promotional material. Will post a Pirep once received and installed (probably mid-November), but they can't be worse than what I've presently got.

    Sad mower-airplane accident

    Sadly very similar to an accident which occurred in St-Esprit, Quebec about 2 years ago; a Nanchang landing on a grass strip killed a woman mowing the field. https://globalnews.ca/news/8673049/tsb-report-quebec-airplane-fatal-crash-with-lawn-tractor/ The TSB report has not yet been issued...

    AD 2023-09-09 Turbo v-band clamps

    I was given Part No. S1921-2 by Acorn Welding in Canada. This matches the Textron number, and it seems this V-band clamp is also used on certain models of Cessnas.

    AD 2023-09-09 Turbo v-band clamps

    That was my concern as well ... a run on the parts when the AD comes due. Just getting an oil filter has been a challenge since the pandemic. I figure it'd be best to replace the clamp at my next annual (September), given that the existing clamp surely has more than 500 hours on it... and the...

    May I ask how much you got dinged for each clamp?
