Thomas-If the baffling is tight and no other obstructions are there you might check the fuel injector for that cylinder. Might be clogged? If it is clean, I would borescope to make sure nothing is going on with the exhaust valve.

Ashley-you make good points. G5 and/or 275 upgrades would be a good thing. I redid my panel several years back but kept mostly legacy round gauges with a JPI 830 and GNS 430W as main nav/com with a Aera 660 as a panel mount MFD and KI155 as back up No 2. It’s amazing how much the legacy engine et al gauges take up on the right side of the…[Read more]

Joseph, I do same as you and say ICAO Mike two zero zero. But I would NEVER say similar to a Bonanza! Almost as bad as saying similar to a Cirrus! Yuk!

On long cross countries switching service areas ATC does morph me into a Mooney as per Ed on occasion. I do take exception with THAT as well, but just motor on along and respond back with…[Read more]
