OP mentioned FlightStream 110. That unit does not support two-way flight plan transfer. 210 does, as you describe. The 510 does too.

For gps version 6900 installed price isn't bad. Don't buy any guides. Find electronically and download a copy. 345 has built-in wireless connectivity. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/140949#overview

...had this been posted on FB? We need more to read this!!!;)

Pay and you will have pilots. Airlines are using this as a reason to invest in automation so one pilot can do the job. Cargo airlines will be the first and passenger airlines will follow.

Very sorry you have to walk barefoot through broken glass over this. Another example why I don't use FB. Grab the tools and back to doing real work.

With 6,000 flight hours? Smok’n crack.

Great advice here. 1.Join ABS and Beechtalk 2. Do BPT and the service clinic 3. Get an annual from a well respected Beech IA. Flying Leaf in Asheboro, NC is one of the best. He knows Beechcraft and is a no BS guy. Airframe, motor, and landing gear. Take service clinic report and have Lou...

I don't NEED most of what FF offers. Got a gps in your plane? Have ADS-B? I NEED georeferenced charts and plates. And maps. Both apps have. Cool features beyond charts/plates aren't required items and don't help IFR Pilots as we can't legally meet requirements with them. Think about this. You...

Get the bachelors. https://www.ssa.gov/retirementpolicy/research/education-earnings.html http://www.hamiltonproject.org/papers/major_decisions_what_graduates_earn_over_their_lifetimes https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/articles/2011/08/05/how-higher-education-affects-lifetime-salary

We'll have to wait and see. I have internal contacts in CT and I need to give this person a bit more time then I will check back in. Cost is my #1 question.

Not worth the cost IMHO. FF should have given this to everyone if the feature is that important. It isn't, so they didn't. Phone is Bluetooth connected to audio panel and have CD frequencies. What more does one need? Write CRAFT on a paper and copy down directions. Maybe fltplan Go will add...

Know the rules. Hate to get violated for a simple reason you didn't follow Instructions all to write KATL in your logbook. Some airports 2:00-4:00pm are actually slow as folks are already in and the workday isn't finished. Might even ask ATC if they would like to do a certain approach for...

You are in NC? I left Nationwide due to really high rates and went to Erie. They HAD great rates but they have gone up a bunch. Switched to Auto-Owners and could not be happier. Great rates, stable company, excellent claims service, and rated one of the top carriers recently in national...

Good chance this is totalled. 2005 bird needing a new wing, motor/teardown, front landing gear, and front end/firewall damage repaired. Plane is likely 250-300k and damage will 75% or more of this value. One stupid pilot...

You get a jar of Vaseline when you got the quote as you will need a large one! The SL30 is an awesome radio (another not Garmin product that became a Garmin product after they bought Apollo) but in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM should it take that much to install it. Read the install manual. Even if they...

I let FF go and also have not missed it. There are free maps and georeferenced charts so I use that and spend the savings on AvGas. I don’t pay for things I can get for free.

Correct you are. I did one of these a few years ago and bought the micro-switches and soldered them together. New trim switch. If you have solder ability go this route. A new switch would be the same thing less the thumb buttons.

That is cool. Good for her!

You know for a fact Go is going away or to a paid app? None of us know what is next for Go. Purely speculation. Today we have a great free app and go that way. None of know about tomorrow so deal it it when it happens.

Why pay for something that is free? Fltplan Go has full ADS-B support, is free, and includes georeferenced maps and approaches. For VFR flying, I would not pick anything else. Spend the annual subscription fee all the others charge on AvGas.
