Re: FAA AD 2023-20-03: Reciprocating Engine Cylinder Section, Reciprocating Engine Oil System
The way I read this is that the grounding is only for the initial oil sample, so unless your plane is brand new you should already have sample history from previous oil changes, or the last 50hr sample if you were already following the MSB

Re: Fuel injector SB (Austro MSB-E4-025)
I think the issue is you're asking someone to risk their license/career for the purpose of saving you money. What's in it for them?michael.g.miller wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2023 8:58 pm Anyone have any success with a mechanic willing to install the Daimler injectors?

Re: Hydraulic Pump Actuating while taxiing
It could very well be bleeding internally and cycling the pump in the air, you just can't hear it. The pump should only have to kick on for a split second once an hour to maintain pressure if it is well sealed.

Re: Prebuy fresh out of Annual?
If it's at a shop you trust, you can have the prebuy rolled into an Annual upon closing.

Re: DA20-C1 Loses Nosewheel, Lands Safely
Since it departed on takeoff it was obviously the lack of nut/pin. I have heard of the DA40 fork coming off at least once as well. Someone didn't want to spend the $1 for a new locknut.
