What are the advantages to a high compression conversion of my aircraft's engine?
General Aviation News
Question for Paul McBride, the General Aviation News engines expert: I'm not even considering doing a conversion, but I am curious to know: What is the advantage to doing a high compression conversion to a Lycoming O-320 (from 150 hp to 160 hp)?
I suppose the obvious answer is 10 more horsepower, but my natural inclination, given the name "high compression," would be improved fuel economy.

Accident probe: The avionics upgrade
AVweb
That aviation is a highly regulated activity should come as no surprise to readers. Many other applicable rules are unwritten, developed by pilots after a mishap or mistake, which not necessarily resulted in an accident or incident. How we tackle becoming comfortable with new avionics aboard a familiar airplane is a question FAA regulations don't address, but the unwritten rules offer some guidance: Good operating practices and a dollop of common sense argue strongly in favor of not launching into poor conditions without at least a few hours of experience with the new equipment.
