Hi all! I am looking at buying an m20J with a mid-time engine and noticed an incident on the FAA database noting a collapsed gear on rollout in 2014. Looking at the logbooks, it appears that only the prop was replaced and the fiberglass on the belly was repaired. No overhaul is noted. It has flown 500 hours since that incident with numerous different IAs approving it as airworthy. It has an engine monitor on as well. It looks like this has been sold a few times since the incident... Airplane with prop strike and no documented overhaul ..read more

Hey all! Class 1 was deferred for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Got my letter in the mail asking for additional information. Mostly to be expected. My question is, does anyone have experience in obtaining the information and reports requested through their VA healthcare? It's my only healthcare provider right now, and I'd love to avoid paying out of pocket. The FAA wants reports from a "physician Board Certified Psychiatrist" for the GAD and my...

So here I am, 6 days into needing a 4' piece of 2.5" SCEET tubing to finish up the annual on a working aircraft when I call Spruce to see why I only received half of my ordered products yesterday. The CSR says that they don't have the SCEET tubing in stock and that is why it did not ship. The website showed it in stock when I ordered it so I fully expected to be finishing up today with the parts yet I receive no message, call, text smoke signal or anything to let me know "hey, we don't...

Does not affect the US. But let's assume they find the average is much higher than expected. Then, will the FAA take a look at this? Personally I'm in favor. Guessing leads to badness, in so many things. (oh, and the argument that our airliners take off just fine...is not an argument. Not often we are losing engines at V1) https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/zealand-airline-asking-passengers-weigh-052624756.html ..read more
