Why is it that Grummans always have the weirdest radios and panels?

Holy necropost! I was confused by the mention of Meigs Tower.

I'd be happy if the damn bluetooth wasn't so damned flaky. We have an old version of the G1000 software since we are a non WAAS install in a Diamond, and with 2.05 the BT stability is not good. It is sort of ok in compatibility mode, but in regular mode if cycles in and out on the ipad, about...

Get someone else to fly you up to the U.P ;-)

In all seriousness, check your coverage terms to make sure they are truly equal. A nice trick to quote you a cheaper deal is to switch your roof coverage from Replacement Cost coverage to Actual Cash Value coverage. For an old roof that will save you big $$$ on the rate, but screw you if you do...

Hell people even manage to smack into terrain here in the flatlands. Nine years ago after getting gas in Lacrosse, the UW MedFlight helicopter flew right into the Mississippi bluffs. IIRC they had a 430 installed, but terrain warnings weren't enabled...

Don't whack the nose, trim is your friend, the RG system is a bit goofy so learn what to check for on preflight.

Dude you saw them on the way back from Hoppe's... They were kinda bright ;-)

Well I guess the shaming worked!

Man they left off the coolest part of the MD series. The Standby compass behind the FO.

Ok to recap. In a 978 Solution you may go Anonymous. In that case the ADS-B out message on 978 contains a random ICAO ID. This will keep you anonymous so long as your existing transponder is only a Mode C transponder (Remember you still need at least a Mode C to be compliant in a UAT out...

Anyone who thinks they are anonymous with a Mode S and a 978 UAT box.

You are just Mode S. The ES is just additional data that is transmitted as part of the Mode S reply. That is what is left off if you disable the ADS-B.

I hate to bust your bubble, but Mode S is NOT anonymous. You are supposed to enter your ICAO code into the box as part of the config. If you had an old Mode C only transponder then you could be anonymous as that transmission does not include the ICAO address...

Remember Mode S will also broadcast your hex id. You gotta be Mode C to be anonymous using a 978 system :D

It's not very obvious, since all that is out there is just Marketing crap :-( But I found this on Beech Talk from someone supposedly from Garmin https://www.beechtalk.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=140880&start=15

Gotcha! That would actually simplify an install considerably.

Interesting... Their specs on the web are very "lacking", and I cannot find an install manual anywhere online. JOOC, where did you get that bit of info from???
