Thanks. When I went to various resellers and punched in the application (69 Delta) some of them would offer up a PAR 46, where others would state as you just did. Since they are clearly not...

Do you know which type the other would be? If go look but it's in a shop 2 hours away, and the IA is badly overbooked and understaffed so I don't want to bother him with this.

And yes, I am looking...

What is a PMA, Really?

Stemming from the woes of trying to establish whether or not I may use a weldon pump to replace the Duke pump that recently failed in my 69 337D, I decided to take a deep dive into what it is a PMA...

Oh I know those guys...got a governor or two from them. Didn't think to call them for an overhaul of the pump though.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Well quite a lot transpired between 2:47p and your response.

I called Weldon during that time, for example, and they said that they had no PMA for pre-echo. In fact, the way they concluded that...

He didn't drop the ball--he said new is difficult to find but he could send out for overhaul with about a 2 week turn around. Then I started to look around for new. I think I still agree with...

Auxiliary or Boost Pumps in 2024

I haven't seen a thread about this since 2010, and wondered if someone might know where to source a pump for a 69 Delta model.

First thing I'll note is that when I look at the parts manual, I see a...

What do they specifically require in the way of annual training, out of curiosity?

Thanks Tom

You're giving me hope that there aren't all that many hours ahead of me to a much more reasonable premium. 10,000 is just about breaking me ... Well okay, on top of a new engine,...

Someone confirm Taxi and Landing light spec?

A 2010 thread started, but failed to resolve this question. Best I can tell, PAR 36 for Taxi and Par 46 for Landing? No, I take that back ... I can't tell at all.

If you can't tell which 400 version, post a pic. I'm guessing a 400A given the G model, but maybe a B. Either way, it ain't likely a straight 400 (like mine) and is, according to ample research,...

Now we're talking reality. About a year ago I got a quote for 35k, though I can't remember whether it was Garmin or JPI. They're comparable in cost in any case.

Yeah ... if you time it right and keep cycling the gear up and down it's really effective. Maybe the mod we need is one that stops the doors mid cycle, for those long descents.

Gear door removal: birds and other critters?

Wondering if anyone has ever observed an issue with critters since the wheel wells are wide open for weeks on end, and if so whether you have a fix that doesn't involve a hangar.

The site still often (most times) goes to a shady online RX site. If that happens, search for a link that takes you directly to the modifications section (or any other). That will usually work.
