Aurora itself doesn’t cause any problems. The solar flares that generate aurora can. Some GPS approaches can be downgraded to LNAV. There’s a map online somewhere that shows areas likely to be affected.

For a parked airplane, you really need something like this https://www.kennonproducts.com/general-aviation/

Paulding is a nice airport. I did a lot of pattern work there when working on my PP at RYY.

@SoCal 182 Driver Given the time on the west coast, it may be a bit early for the pilots with specific experience to chime in. If you're looking for experience in the system, I'd go with your IFR plan and try to amend it in the air. SOCAL is very complex and I suspect the routings are spit out...

A VFR flight plan is not visible to a controller. So not really "in the system".

@SoCal 182 Driver Might help to post what you filed and what you received as an amended route. Assuming you're in SOCAL based on your username, there's likely some pilots that can explain what's up.

Join us in FL in the land of puppy mill pilots practicing for their 747 jobs in a 172. At non-towered airports, I could pretty much do a power off 180 and be on the crosswind in the time it takes for "Echo Romeo" pilots to get from abeam the numbers to short final.

If you're selling, even pretty far in the future, I'd be tempted to do nothing. If you want to have a functioning AP, then I'd get something more up to date. You will not recover your investment in a new AP, so only do it if you plan on using it.

If that wasn't done in the earlier diagnostic work, likely that's your answer.

Yes and then there's option 2 which is to do nothing (at least for Cherokees, Mooneys and Bonanzas). Actually, not nothing, more just keep flying the plane and land if it's bothersome.

FS210 won't do DB updates, only move flight plans and adsb data. 510 has wifi which allows the bandwidth to move that much data.

as of 1:44 EST, still wonky.

It's been "buggy" for the last 12 hours or so for me too.

As a student, not sure why the need for bluetooth. If I were you, I'd get a used Bose or Lightspeed ANR headset. Used can be a decent discount to new and can likely be re-sold at a later date for similar $$. After you have some significant hours you'll have a better idea of what you need. For...
