    My (ex) instructor called me and nagged me because..

    For those who don't have ADSB......

    That was a very categorical answer. Do you have ForeFlight with a Stratus? I do, and I get both aural and visual warnings when traffic is close. Connecting the iPad to my Lightspeed's via Bluetooth gets my attention very quickly.

    O-200-A stuck exhaust valve.
