    Pireps on the new Lightspeed Delta?

    all the time, in flight, ground, etc. Other headsets are crystal clear on the same jack if I swap out.

    Piper automatic gear extend

    Yes, I have considered yanking the auto-extender in the past. I don't know if it contributed to this recent issue or not. My biggest beef with the auto-extender is that it is dialed way up on airspeed. It won't let you raise the gear unless you are flying over 100kts. That's nuts considering...

    Pireps on the new Lightspeed Delta?

    The popping sound is like deep drums. It's a by-product of the ANR and the fact the headset is not perfectly situated on your head. If I squeeze uncomfortably with both hands on the sides the boom boom goes away. Then if I tilt my head it's back baby. If you look online enough you can find...

    Pireps on the new Lightspeed Delta?

    Part of the problem is I have a large head, it's hard for me to find hats that fit. I have the previous generation Lightspeed and it works fine. The zulu is a bust

    Pireps on the new Lightspeed Delta?

    ABORT. They changed the ANR processing on the delta. If that headset is not sitting in just the right orientation on your head you will hear loud thump thumps. I've never used a headset that just goes absolutely berzerk in its ANR.

    Piper automatic gear extend

    The emergency procedures are inadequate because they don't tell you what to do if the gear indicator breaker is blown. 48 hours I ago I was in this situation: gear handle down, no green lights, and the pump did not even run. The pump running is visible as a spike in amps. The gear indicator...

    Garmin G5 reset issue

    I recently had an avionics upgrade on my Arrow that included a G3X and G5. While on a cross country, I had an alternator failure and landed. As the mechanics worked the issue they wound up cycling the master switch on and off several times over just a few minutes. At this point the G5 did not...

    Arrow II flight planning/fuel burn

    set the fuel flow at 10GPH when above 3000', and open the throttle to full and pull it back just a hair. If that puts you above 24/24 pull throttle and prop back to 24/24. Plan on 130 knots groundspeed.

    Internal engine pre-heater--opinions?

    I just ferried an Arrow 800 miles in sub-freezing temps, including an overnight stop. I used a "twin hornet" engine heater each time. The engine started easier than a summer day each time.
