I beg to differ! On all of the aircraft I've owned, to include my RV, the
tachometer has a clock. My Hobbs is for my flight time only. If you have a
tach that has no clock, then you can use it for both functions. I've never
seen an A&P use my Hobbs for engine time. It's always the tach time.

Brian,
If AI's are anything like DG's, I just bought a new DG for the same or less
than it would cost to get mine overhauled. Since the old one was essentially
not worth anything, I looked inside and found that the only problem appeared
to be a keeper that had come off of one of the shafts and was not
disengaging the gears to set the heading. Had I done that before I ordered a
new one, I might have saved a few bucks by fixing it myself.
If you find a place to overhaul at a more reasonable price please share. I
checked Mid-Continent, and ended up buying one from ACS since they had it in
stock. There were some cheaper ones out there, but they did not have them in
stock.
Good Luck!

Mike, don't take my comments as directed towards you in any way at all. You
have my congrats doing all your IFR work in your RV. I will fly my RV IFR
and use some of techniques you have mentioned in the real world.
A hint to stay legal and still get direct: File your flight plan using the
V airways. Indicate your aircraft type with the appropriate /. In the
comments section put "Handheld Garmin XXX for situational awareness" and
also put "autopilot" if you have one. As soon as they hand you off to your
first center, ask if you can have direct on such and such heading. Before
we installed the approach GPS in the Bonanza, this was my SOP. I've had ATC
ask just how was I going to maintain direct. My pat reply was always, "VOR
cross checking with handheld GPS for situational awareness". The relpy 99
times out of 100 is "cleared direct, heading XXX".
Mike, once again, for heavens sake use what you have onboard to stay safe
and dirty side down. If you took my comments as arguing with you, that was
the furthest thing from my mind when I posted. If you thought I was, my
apologies.......it wasn't intended that way.
While I don't think you have to have an IFR ticket to fly at night, I
believe the time spent under hood and learning the ATC system makes you a
better pilot. Note, I did not say it makes you a better pilot than "him",
it just makes "you" a better pilot.

One has to think when you show up for your checkride in minimually equiped
(in by book, there's nothing wrong with that) airplane, he doesn't want to
have to make to fly 200 miles somewhere to find a third approach for you to
shoot. People know how good this hand held stuff is.
With all that said, let me flip the coin and tell you what a local
controller did to the local university that offers various 4 year pilot
degrees. Lexington, KY offers all the approaches out there but to get back
into I39 the approach is VOR/DME. One of the aircraft the college flies
does not have DME but an old loran. In VFR conditions people were taking
the miss on ILS22 in Lex and requesting the VOR back to Richmond. Some new
controller with a stick up his backside noticed the aircraft, at some point
in time, had filed a flight plan with a / indicating it was not equiped with
DME and remembered it. He called the FBO and told them this aircraft could
longer be given the VOR/DME to Richmond and if they ask anymore, he would
file a report. After this, all you would do is tell ATC, after the ILS
miss, you would like direct to the LEX VOR, then direct I39 at 2600. The
FAF was well outside the LEX class airspace so all you would is cancel radar
coverage and shoot the approach. The log book entry was VOR tracking into
I39. This university even had an NDB approach they came up with using a
local AM radio station. Where there's a will, there's a way!!
Now back to our regular RV programming.

--> RV-List message posted by: mstewart@qa.butler.com
Absolutely Jeff you will need a new engine driven pump to take you from the
single digits psi to the high teen's.
Yes also to a new electric pump and they are not cheap, at least the
aviation ones are not. I believe an air flow perf. Pump which I have is in
the $800 range. Cause its not just a pump, but bypass valves, overpressure
returns etc all in one "pump" package.
When you say you have a bendix injector, do you mean the flow metering unit?
Flow divider? Injectors and lines?
You can see an AFP pump package here:
http://www.airflowperformance.com/efp.htm
BTW, AFP also sells bendix stuff so you can call them and they could better
tell you what to mate it all up with.
You may find it cheaper to buy an entire kit from someone than piecemeal
what you have.
Good luck.

Help, I have an 0-360 that Im trying to convert to fuel injection. I have a

I agree that you would not turn your alternator off unless you had a bad

Trade-a-Plane: "RV-6A QB kit for sale; entire airframe package. Madison,
WI. $15K; buyer ships. Email john.jenkins@midplains.net; call
608.831.9167." This is one of the last kits sold before the RV-7 was

--> RV-List message posted by: "zilik@direcpc.com" <zilik@direcpc.com>
Well that depends on what you consider accurate.
A hobbs meter is very accurate at measuring time, just like your watch.
This is great for measuring flight time for your logbook and engine time
also. This is a true accurate measurement of time (hours, minutes and
seconds)
The tachometer measures revolutions, not time. Im my case my tachometer
measures 1 unit(hour?) at 2566 rpm. This works out to 153960 rotations of
the old crank for 1 unit of time measured on the tach. So if I cruise at
2566 rpm and hour on the hobbs and tach are both the same. If I cruise at
2700 rpm then my tach will measure 1.052 hours for each hobbs hour and at a
2300 rpm cruise my tach will report 0.896 hours for said hobbs hour.
So if I run my engine hard (racing to breakfast) I would actually have to
change my oil (25 hour interval) sooner that the hobbs would suggest. The
hobbs would report 23.764 hours.
Now if I take my time going to breakfast and do a little sight-seeing and
run at 2300 rpm then I get to change my oil a little later using the tach
as my guide. The hobbs would report 27.9 hours but my tach would report 25.
If I cruised all the time at 2300 rpm and finally tore down my engine at
the recomended TBO or 2000 hours, my tach would say 2300 hours and my hobbs
report 2232 hours.
The above examples do not take into account taxi, climout or anything but
cruise but I mostly cruise so its a moot point.
I stand by that the old tach is a better measurement of time for
maintainence on the engine in that it is slaved to rpm and not time. In
short, your engine wears out faster using hobbs time.
Gary, no Hobbs, Zilik
RV-6A 471.2 tach hours (at varying rpm)
The math may be inaccurate as I used my trusty ole pencil.

Jim Brownfield's comments about the potential unavailability of GPS
signals in the event of terrorist use of them is well taken. Just my
luck, they'll encrypt the GPS signal, and at the same time we won't be
able to get 100LL fuel anymore! I'll be grounded! Come to think of it,
that would kind of be like...now, since I'm still building (sigh).
Guess I'll have to look into installing an INS! "Honey, where's the

Not to get things stirred up again.....But I was
wondering about this situation. Let's assume I have
the equipment to do a non-precision approach(VOR),BUT
the published missed approach involved a piece of
equipment that my plane didn't have(such as ADF). The
reported ceiling is 200 ft. above the MDA. Can you
"legally" shoot the approach? Sorry to keep the pot
stirred,but it is relevant to my home airport and the
published missed approach procedures. It has never
happened(yet)because so far I've received radar
vectors for the missed approach.

Gary,
Makes general sense, but you lost me there.
At recommended 2000hr TBO, your tach would say 2300hrs AND the Hobbs
2232hrs? ? ? I don't get that one as they BOTH are in excess of 2000hrs??
So what about a 2000hr TBO then?

That's the AFP pump/filter and optional install kit that Van's sells for
$575 (or $507 for just the pump & filter). Jeff, you didn't mention which
type of aircraft, but the install kit is catered either to the 7 or the 8.
Here are some photos and notes on installing this kit in the RV-7:

Nels,
Do you have a handheld GPS that you as the plane manufacturer certified to
ac-20-138a w/I the proceeding 120days?
Sorry, Could not resist.
I have properly inserted myself into the fire-sleeve for all answers to your
question.
On your ?, I say you can't shoot it, since the missed approach is part of
the published procedure and would violate the requirements for equipment
necessary to shoot the published approach. But I am definitely not confident
of my answer.

Not to get things stirred up again.....But I was
wondering about this situation. Let's assume I have
the equipment to do a non-precision approach(VOR),BUT
the published missed approach involved a piece of
equipment that my plane didn't have(such as ADF). The
reported ceiling is 200 ft. above the MDA. Can you
"legally" shoot the approach? Sorry to keep the pot
stirred,but it is relevant to my home airport and the
published missed approach procedures. It has never
happened(yet)because so far I've received radar
vectors for the missed approach.

Nels,
My answer: Yes, if your GPS is approved for either enroute/terminal or
appoach operations.
Most of your questions are answered in AIM 1-1-21
http://www2.faa.gov/ATpubs/AIM/Chap1/aim0101.html#1-1-21.
Note that this is for a "legal" setup and operation.
In short an "approved" GPS can be substituted for an ADF or DME if the nav
fixes are in the database. This does not allow one to "legally" shoot an
approach only labeled as "ADF" with even an approach approved GPS. The
approach would have to be labeled "ADF/GPS".
There are a number a other restrictions that are described in the AIM.

I working on pricing out my panel and I looked at Bendix/King KMD-150. I'm seeing
this for under 3K. Seem like a great deal compared to a Garmin 430. Does anyone
fly with the KMD-150? I know you get what you pay for but the Garmin is such
a pricy component.
Also, how do these moving maps handle doing aerobatics? Is it hard on them? Do
you just turn them off? Here is a link to the King I'm talking about.
Let me know what you think.
