    Garmin database updates - user frustrations

    Considering the GADBM works on the Mac, not sure if VC++ is the issue. I really hate to invoke "geek" but you may want to check out this page and download something that might help solve the problem. https://zeromq.org/get-started I'm wondering if Garmin assumes everyone has all the pieces...

    Do's and don'ts

    But it's such a great description “…my high school hands out Methylphenidate like the Wehrmacht” How many teenagers would even know about the Wehrmacht these days? Question to Rene - what state are you in?

    Do's and don'ts

    There's usually an in-house nurse. Plus the schools are now "recommending" meds to the parents, and who are the parents to say no? I'm sure if today's culture of "better living thru modern chemistry" existed when I was in grade school, I would have been put on everything...I was bored. Got...

    Aircrew (non-pilot) Roles other than Civil Air Patrol

    Candidly, other than orientation rides for the cadets, Civil Air Patrol is in dire need of a new direction/reason for flying. As noted in an earlier post, drones are becoming the first choice for survey of disasters both for FEMA & the insurance companies, and searching for the lost. In...

    Online POH database?

    Or ChatGPT steals everything and all the work you put into it is for naught. These AI bots are also ignoring the decades-long defacto agreement not to access anything with a robots.txt file. And from the US Copyright Office: "Generally, for most works created after 1978, protection lasts for...

    What is your favorite Audio Panel?

    One that works. Mark understands. Update: Until this week, I had an Apollo SL10 (which looks amazingly like the PMA 6000) installed back in 2000 (or 2001). It died a rather fast death this week. So this morning, the replacement PMA 7000M-BT and life is wonderful again, at least on the ground...

    BGI/AGI/FOI

    I remember something that the FOI is not required for the AGI or BGI if you are an accredited teacher at a university. I can't find a reference to this in the Flight & Ground Knowledge Test Guide FAA-G-8082-7, yet as per an FAA memo dated 2005, this document has been cancelled and I can't find...

    Nothing in the headsets

    I went thru 30+ combinations of different headsets, settings on the audio panel and the two radios. I even did various combinations of volume and squelch. Shop pulled the audio panel, cleaned connectors and did the same with the same negative results. Called Spruce this morning and ordered the...

    Aviation Scholarships in this "modern" era

    Women In Aviation do not discriminate based on gender. Nor the FAA. Nor AOPA. Nor EAA. Nor CAP. Yes, some of the scholarships on the big lists are specific because the donors choose to be specific. Their money, their rules.

    Does a felony 35 years ago automatically mean deferral

    More properly "extortion".

    Nothing in the headsets

    Yeah, I've been stuck doing software testing (which I'm not fond of, but no one else on the project was qualified) so I try all possible combinations. I think I missed a few on this one, will head out to the hangar later today and try more. Time to set up the testing matrix! Age of the Geek, baby.

    Nothing in the headsets

    I’ll give it a try tomorrow except….the plane is locked in a hangar and no one’s been in the hangar or flown it but me. Truly baffling.

    Nothing in the headsets

    When I bought the cherokee (2000?) it had the classic Radio Shack A/B switch for the avionics. I had the Apollo SL10 installed (later to become the Garmin SL10). Here's a photo Configuration: Apollo: Switch set to ALL COM 1 - SL30 COM 2 - TKM (com only, NAV doesn't work so it's perfect for...

    Budget gps upgrade ?

    As a data point....an A&P can install the G5-ASI, but the avionics shop is required for the G5-HSI.

    AI Rant

    That's the same argument I use for a phone. I just want a phone. I don't want a calendar, a camera, web browsing, etc. Just a phone.

    Cherokee 180 to Arrow 180

    I'm real happy with my 180D. About as simple & boring as possible, everyone knows how to fix it, parts aren't a problem, the classic bullet-proof Lycoming O-360. Over the years, some upgrades. New interior, 2 G5/175, I'll never give up the SL30 (talk about bullet-proof!), all LED lights, some...
