Re: Fatal UT accident appears to be DA40

Of course, we're all wondering if two or more people were added to the aircraft in KCDC. 4 Fatalities reported Rich, I understand 4 fatalities... my wondering is whether the aircraft flew from Spanish Fork to Cedar City with a subset of those 4, e.g. a pilot and copilot... and then added passengers...

Re: Fatal UT accident appears to be DA40

Looks like the METAR for that hour was: screenshot55.png And therefore the Density Altitude something like 6000': screenshot56.png Assuming the crew was well-versed on flying out of Spanish Fork (DAs often at 6000' or above), it wouldn't seem DA was an issue... unless mixture leaning was missed on d...

Rich, many thanks for testing the Powered LEMO Adapter... a...

Re: Interested in a Powered LEMO Adapter?

Quick update: Steve is now receiving quotes on the production LEMO adapter... and hopes to be able to announce price and availability in the next week or so. Do you maybe have an update? An early-release adapter was last week shipped to Rich for his testing. Awaiting Rich's report. Thanks for every...

Re: Intentional Off-Field Landing, IBEX, UT

Very cool! With that practice, now you can consider flying into the next Burning Man. :) A friend of mind did that with his C180. He ended up shrink wrapping his plane to protect it from the blowing dust and sand. The Black Rock (during Burning Man or any off-season time) is even worse than that......

Re: GAMI INJECTORS

Dave, totally depends on how well your stock injectors provide balanced flow (and indirectly, CHTs) or not. You should first run the GAMI flight profile on your aircraft as-is. That's what I did 6 years ago, sent the results to GAMI, and they (to their full credit) reported back that I didn't need t...

Re: Engine overhaul time - Lycoming IO-360-M1A

I also like everything Mike Busch says about engines, but my 1965-hour engine has started showing a little bit of metal shavings in the filter. Not enough to cause concern to my mechanic, but enough for me so we will get it done in the fall. I got a quote from a very reputable shop here in Canada f...
