An emergency saftey stop can be improvised by using a small pair of five inch VISE GRIPS. Make it tight, grips side of rail. One time emergency use only . Buy the right tool and use it. Many new people interested in 50+ Year old design airplane we need to remember to talk about this seat track rig o...

My IA/AP is proposing we install ELT in baggage area floor in corner just in front of station. The ELT came with an external antenna that will not be utilized ; instead we will use small stub antenna. The required remote switch will be installed some where on panel . I am a little reluctant however ...

Very Sad to see

The people; boy and girl out for fine flight

I hope they are O K now.

We all know that the paper trail of an airplane has some determing cost factor as to how much a buyer will pay.

What do you think?

Thank you for the reply. Yes the same mech had checked the elt / new battery on prior basis. This time he stated, " There was no ELT in tray when airplane came into shop." I was totally oblivious to the changes about to happen w regard to ELTs. I have had one person suggest that I install ...
