Dale:
I did not hesitate to try and recycle my gear because the gear pump was still running "hard" and I felt it was making pressure. Also, there was a great deal of resistance on the hand pump, so...

The biggest impact on my insurance rates is the hull value. Your rates sound about right if your hull value is around $100K, based on my experience. It will probably come down a little bit when you...

I have had exactly the same problem, although my aircraft is a '73 P337. The gear would cycle down, but the doors would not close, and the gear motor would keep running. The gear would go...

The first thing I would do is to check for leaks, holes, loose clamps, etc in the induction system and the exhaust system. Make sure all of the exhaust is going into the turbo, and all of the...

Before you send out your instruments, I would check the wiring coming from the tach output on the mag, going to the tach. I have had a similar problem, right after maintenance. The pigtail...

I find it very helpful to have a wing-mounted mirror to visually check the gear. It is easier and less disorienting to look out to the left than to look behind you. A mirror will also tell you if...

Ernie:
Yes, but it is amazing how often the pilot inadvertantly shuts the the one remaining good engine. And of course, with our CLT, the old "dead foot dead engine" routine doesn't work.

The Scoop on VG's
