    Do you routinely balance aircraft wheels? (poll)

    Not me. I have had brand new tubes and tires require balancing before landing number one. And the dot process didn't work. Takes so little time and the strut and shimmy damper thank you.

    Do you routinely balance aircraft wheels? (poll)

    After new tube or tire install, always balance.

    Can this cirrus be fixed after chute deployment?

    LMAO.... There is a good reason to inspect them for another reason. The areas underneath the seats are a honeycomb of aluminum intended to crush in a downward impact, e.g., if you fall out of the sky under the parachute. They will also crush locally if subjected to the full weight of a person...

    Can this cirrus be fixed after chute deployment?

    This will not be cheap to get airworthy. Motor will require teardown due to impact. Case needs checked for possible crack(s) and crank X-rayed. Need prop, spinner, and spinner hub. Add in motor mounts. Seats pans need inspected/maybe replaced. Front cowling upper and lower - replace. New CAPS...

    High oil temp/low pressure

    You didn't mention which motor you have. Have you read the engine operating manual? What does it say? IO-520 for ex. says temps of 170 in cruise to burn off moisture. In summer in climb routinely higher than this and that is fine. Pressure again in the manual.

    Garmin acquires FltPlan

    You're right. No Apple support so no way I can use. So my choices remain at three.

    Garmin acquires FltPlan

    Sad we lost another competitor. Go is gone and so is the last free efb with georeferenced approach plates. Next best value is the FlyQ lifetime deal when they run it. FF, GP, and FlyQ...field down to three.

    Looks like Garmin is sueing Uavionix

    Go try and read/understand their chart packs/maps for their certified avionics. PilotPaks, OnePaks, pricing is crazy, and like this example, why make it so hard to spend money? Their avionics chart prices/packages are nuts and if they simplified & lowered they they would sell 2x more and make...

    Looks like Garmin is sueing Uavionix

    Garmin has a "process" patent, and i despise process patents. Should do away with them. No new tech here. I bet they settle, and we never hear the details.

    Can we quickly compare AOPA's Membership to EAA's

    AOPA can not take credit for doing this all on their own. NBAA was HUGE with ATC privatization going down. BasicMed has EAA and others pushing that over the goal. And did we mention GAMA? Look at the recent developments re: avionics. Where o where was AOPA...

    ADS-B hidden gems?

    Skates97, I read you post then spent the better part of two weeks flying. I don't fly on the west coast; I primarily fly the east coast from CT down to FL. The busy northeast corridor (which even the most experienced have challenges with, through VA, NC, and SC which is the busiest military...

    ADS-B hidden gems?

    Did I say flying blind? You guaranteed to get flight following 100% of the time? Nope. It's resource dependent. IFR gets you the 100%. U fly IFR? You're flying and relying 100% on what your ads-b in tells you? And you trust your tablet to work 100% of the time? Wow. You plan to meet the...

    ADS-B hidden gems?

    You guys waiting; I struggle to understand the logic. Seeing traffic (and sharing my position) and weather is huge and can't imagine flying without it. Is not perfect but pretty darn good. Has saved my bacon. So I ask, is it really worth trying to save $1,000? What is your life worth? Friends...

    Garmin updates for TXi flight displays, GTN navigators, GFC autopilots, & the G5

    I think you can. If the G500 can, the TXi has to do it. We should contact Steve @ Garmin Engineering and confirm.

    Garmin Pilot adds Engine Monitoring

    IMHO this is a deal changer for the EFB market. I think Garmin caught the others sleeping on this. I think EIS is a strong competitor and I'm considering to replace my JPI to get certified AND to get the data on my iPad. Proper engine mgmnt is so critical; can't imagine not flying with one...
