Most likely a side effect of the current G5 geomagnetic storm, but if it persists, it is possible that the vertical guidance board has...

I've had a variety of Android tablets for EFB use, and they are usually much less expensive than iPads, almost all come with integrated...

In a low traffic environment, it may not matter if you are 20 degrees off-course for traffic separation on a direct-to clearance. I'm...

I used a couple of these in my AA-1A, which has an easy-bake canopy for summer flying. They work great and are easy to reposition.

^^^^^This^^^^^ If you fly some routes enough, you will learn the preferred routings and can ask for them. IFR is rarely going to be a...

Direct is direct. ATC is expecting you to fly from where you were issued direct to your destination, and ATC may direct traffic where...

If you get cleared direct,when you keep adjusting,the controller will probably ask you if your still flying direct.

Plus, if you have to activate it each time before flight, it will take 5-10 minutes for the unit to self-calibrate in a CO-free...

Initial routing spit out of the system for FLIBs is generally going to route you out of the way of congested traffic areas, and/or keep...

A Forensics Detectors CO detector is $99 and is a battery powered device that has a digital display of CO levels, short dwell times...

I was faced with the same choice, minus the GI-275 which didn't exist at the time. I went with the G5s to get dual redundancy, longer...

FYI, the IFR system is currently strongly WAAS-GPS-biased, so for real IFR utility, an IFR GPS navigator is practically a must. There...

Fly, and monitor is what I would do (and have done). If borescoping revealed significant step wear or other anomalies in the cylinder...

Reminds me of the old chemistry grad school mantra: "100 hours in the lab will save you 1 hour in the library."

Yep. No reason to remove parts before working down the chain with a voltmeter, upstream to downstream, starting at the battery.
