Sorry. No "cheap" solution. There is that garmin UAT box that plugs in inline with your existing transponder for $1700. King/Trig have pin compatible 1090es solutions for around $2100-$2500. Those numbers are without install though

Kinda. They will reliably see you under the following conditions. The FAA radars that feed into the TIS-b systems see you They are in view of a ground station They are ADS-b out AND you are in the hockey puck (30mn diameter +-3500') Their ADS-b out is configured properly They happen to look out...

You will get Mode A/C/S targets as the TIS-B ground station feed, but only reliably if you are ADS-b out. You may be able to receive some of the TIS-b messages being sent to other participating aircraft, but this won't be the whole picture for you. None of the ADS-b in solutions that I am aware...

All depends on the amount of Crown consumed...

So should we start shaming Spike Cutler and Adam Zucker into getting their butts up to 6Y9 now that the eclipse is over??

Sooo I'm guessing you didn't watch "Breaking Bad"...

Or just look out of the damn window (this does require some available light)

I buy lottery tickets so infrequently that I had no idea powerball went from $1 to $2 when they had that "billion" dollar jackpot a few years ago :D

Yep ratio remains the same but speed increases with gross weight

Schempp-Hirth doesn't make Cirri anymore. I'll take a Ventus3 FES with a cobra trailer and some nice LX varios instead :D

So you gonna steal the Caravan, and join us???

Lol I specifically only mentioned one of them ;D

Buy a lot of cool ****, and hopefully not die flying **** I have no business flying ;-)

Are paramotor wings that much more prone to collapse than regular paraglider wings? I find that surprising since these things are direct descendants from paragliders which are perfectly happy (to an extent) in turbulent thermal and ridge conditions.

Didn't you know that 6Y9 is as dry as a Southern Baptist??? :D

That at lookout Mountain? That is a gnarly ramp. I visited there when I was ridge flying the Sequatchie Valley in my sailplane 6 years ago. Probably should have stated my question differently. I was wondering if you could reuse the wing to go soaring sans weed whacker backpack.

Looks like I may have an aircraft available. See you all up there.

Just curious, will whatever certification they give you also qualify you to fly at a hang gliding site? Also how different are the PPG vs Paraglider wings?

Well depending on your arrival time at LNL you could either go to the Redman Supper club for dinner, or the Pine Cone for breakfast. Both are an easy walk. If you are thinking of getting a rental car call Randy at LNL now as they will probably have high demand that weekend. You also may want to...

so is there a chart in the POH of the Cirrus to calculate the wind drift once the chute is pulled??? Spot landing a round is hard ;-)
