I believe LIFT does their own maintenance.

Kudos to the pilots for getting their plane down and walking away from an in-flight engine fire!

Re: New Nose Wheel Fin

I thought I would add another review of the Bret nose wheel fin. It works remarkably well on my 2019 40NG. I installed it and have now had several flights where I have been able to fly with both feet on the floor! I did not adjusted the rudder trim at all. I used the Krylon Fusion All in one Gloss W...

He arranged for a pilot to fly to Salina with the diagnostic cable and computer to help diagnose the problem, then had it flown to Southtec. I am wa...

Austro support in Salina Kansas?

I was taking off from Salina Kansas on the third leg of a trip from Savannah, Ga, to Loveland, Colorado, when I get an ECU B fail annunciation on the take off roll. I aborted the take off, then cleared the annunciation by switching to ecu b. I ran it up twice without any more error messages, so I tr...

I’m with Wayne, I am surprised I missed this too.
