Thanks for looking, Chris. I agree, the placards, if they can really be
called that, seem to be a case of overkill. But, according to FAA
rules, if a placard is specified in the POH, then the craft is not
airworthy unless the placard is in place. A missing placard can cause
the pilot to be charged with a violation of the rule that requires him
to make sure that the craft is airworthy. :-(

Yes, the turboprop looks pretty, Jim.
I find it interesting that all those strictures have to be written on the
instrument panel. Each is something that I would have to know about before
being qualified on type. I suppose that that is the civilian way of flying . .

Bonnaroo is over, with only a few of the visiting aircraft left at the local

To an Aeronautical Engineer, the business end of a modern turboprop is a thing
of beauty. Maybe not the same for everyone. Here is the propulsion system of
a Beech King Air 350.

The 1941 Piper J-5A that was modified for banner towing had amenities never
dreamed of when it was built. Not a beauty, but a real working machine. Here
is the current instrument panel, complete with every placard that the FAA could
dream of. And, yes, the engine is a Lycoming O-360. I checked the data plate.
