Bookmark or Share- Grumman electrical failure. Crashes into Cessna on runway.I keep hoping that there’s a “rest of the story.” Smell of burning insulation. Electrical smoke. Something to make it an emergency. Except that the video shows that the avionics and master switches are still on.
- Optimum altitude for crusing small aircraft | Pilots of AmericaThanks to Jane Carpenter Cessna Chart and Rick Henry Piper chart plus my other research, my theory that the engine power drops off faster than the true airspeed (more linear), we can conclude the Specific Range gets better with altitude as shown in the attached spreadsheet/graph directly off the Cessna cruise power chart for a 172.
- I’m thinking about buying a 1959 Cessna 172 - Pilots of AmericaIn my search for a new VFR plane, I’ve come across a 1959 Cessna 172. Here are some key details: • Aircraft total time: 5,745 hours • Engine: Rolls-Royce Continental O-300-D, 1,537 hours since major overhaul (overhauls in 1996 and 2006, with new camshaft and cam followers, compressions are good) • Propeller: 197 hours since overhaul
- Air-to-Air Cessna 182RG - Pilots of AmericaA very nice set of photos again Jack. One of my favorite planes to fly was a Cessna 182RG with a Horton STOL kit on it.
- Fuel Tank Capacity Placards - actual or useable?The basis of the AD is that on 182 models with bladders, wrinkles in the bladder can cause fuel to not drain down fully. 182P models s/n 62251 thru 63590 are subject to the AD. The AD is 75-16-01. Cessna also has a service letter that deals with the issue of fuel quantity placards. SE75-7. HTH!
