    Cherokee 6 vs Saratoga SP

    But, unless it's a long body M20, you'd have to treat it as a 2 seater. You can't put anyone on the backseat, unless you really don't like the person you put there.

    Cherokee 6 vs Saratoga SP

    If you don't need the room, I wouldn't restrict myself to just the 6 seat Pipers. Not saying you shouldn't get one, just saying to also consider other planes like the Comanche. I was in the exact same boat 1.5 years ago. I was fixed on the 6 or Lance as I wanted something faster and bigger than...

    Tailbeacon with obstruction

    It's just a com though, no nav on that radio.

    Tailbeacon with obstruction

    I think my current audio panel is the most modern piece of equipment on the plane. I currently have two radios on board but one is so ancient, I can't wait to kick it out. I was thinking to kick out the ancient, gigantic radio and in its place put a larger GPS/Com unit and then replace the...

    Tailbeacon with obstruction

    That would probably be the most cost effective solution! I'm afraid the screen is too small but at the same time, it's right in front of my nose anyways so maybe fine. The only other thing, it doesn't have comm. I wanted to install a WAAS GPS with radio so I have a second radio. Maybe having a...

    Tailbeacon with obstruction

    That’s what they’re saying now. They’re planning to have something implemented for airspace around larger airports akin to the US at some point but nobody, including themselves know what exactly.

    Tailbeacon with obstruction

    I think I found my solution. I'm looking to install a WAAS GPS soon anyways so when I do that, I'll get the Trig TT31, hook it up to the WAAS of the GPS and I should be ADS-B compliant. The Trig transponder is a direct slide in replacement for the KT76A.

    Tailbeacon with obstruction

    I am most likely moving to the US so Canadian compliance is not that important to me. The few times i will have to go to Canada, i’ll avoid ADS-B airspace. Plus, i think the earliest they’ll mandate ADS-B in airspace a GA pilot would typically fly in is 2028. They may change their mind 5 times...

    Tailbeacon with obstruction

    1980s (and older) avionics so nothing that would get me close to compliance. Transponder is a KT76A and radio is a SL40.

    Tailbeacon with obstruction

    I already asked this question in another thread but kind of hijacked my own thread there and didn’t get a whole lot of answers, so here it goes again: I may have to fly into US ADS-B airspace more frequently from this fall. Obviously the cheapest and fastest solution is a tailbeacon (i don’t...

    Minimum Oil Level

    i have a lycoming o540 which is supposed to hold 12. i keep it at 9, let it drop to just under 7 and then add 2 quarts. it usually take about 16 flight hours to go down to just under 7. anything above 9 ends up on the belly.

    How to almost die in the mountains

    I have. I find it inappropriate to look under their wings though. Show some class, will you?

    How to almost die in the mountains

    Don't planes have to have the tail number on the underside of the wings? I know my plane does.
