I've used the search functionhere and google-fu to no avail in determining the best insurance carrier/underwriter for pilots of a certain age (older, 70s+). There were several results referencing recommended brokers, but not the actual insurer. It's looking like a choice for a carrier going...

FltPlanGo for the iPad is free and has the chart updates for free as well (for now). I use the map mode on my Aera 660 so don't bother upgrading it as I use the iPad for traffic. The gps output from the Aera doesn't depend on current charts so the other units that use its gps data (AV3-30, EDM...

Alon Aircoupe with an O200 I'm assuming depart SE out of BCE before heading towards Escalante, either through the pass or S of Cannan Peak. I hadn't considered going via the Western Slope of Colorado, and would consider hanging a right turn along I-80 towards Laramie (where I initially learned...

Speaking of Winter Haven radio calls:

Thanks, hadn't looked at continuing to El Paso after Tucson vs. turning north east at Deming after Tucson. The 250 miles is conservative, allowing for headwinds but is not a hard limit. For planning fuel consumption is 5.5 gal./hr at 90 knots, with 18 gal. useable before 6 gal. reserve, three...

Thinking about a flight to the Osh area and back next month from San Diego and looking for route suggestions, tips, tricks, techniques, etc. Parameters: VFR flight, 250 mile legs, no oxygen, daylight hours, below floors of MOAs ok with good terrain clearance. In particular I'm looking how to...

It looks like your first post had a track for a different airplane (N1975F) that dis 6 touch and goes, hence the confusion?

Actually I think you are correct. It is possible for the Aeras to provide gps course information to some displays. The "logic" of the 760 seems pretty much the same as the 430/530 Garmin series as far as loading approaches and executing them. The place where you might loose some procedural...

For those interested in Alaska flying: https://www.usajobs.gov/job/716505100?fbclid=IwAR2msoa99hbZaWn9kyE_VkG8ZCn_xGjEl6333Uf71s2OEwgZVE_ksDonCYY (I'm too old and it's too cold but sounds like a good opportunity for someone)

Looking back at my responses to date I've missed one major point (like writing instructions for someone else and you fail to convey all of your knowledge on the subject so they miss some important information)-I'm toying with the idea of getting recurrent for IFR. Why with an Aircoupe? My home...

Delusions of grandeur (plus, weight savings, reliability, and better information display). I don't think it would be possible to install any autopilot components without a field approval since there are no approved ones available. Perhaps one of the maintenance mavens could confirm that...

Alon A2 Aircoupe. You can find in under Univair TCDS A-787. To my knowledge there are no approved autopilots for any Er/Aircoupe except Brittain, which is long out of production. Yes, I currently have their Mini Ga installed which has flight director function (and moving map, synthetic...

I've experimented with the highway in the sky boxes and don't care for them. To me it seems like balancing on a platform on top of a ball, but perhaps my technique was off. I've flow enough raw data and with flight directors to know that utilizing a flight director makes the cross check and...

I'm currently using a GRT Mini-GA for VFR only and it does have a built in flight director that doesn't require an autopilot to function. One of the question trains I had with Garmin support was just installing the control for the GFC500 to "configure" the G3X for an autopilot to get the FD...

I've been communicating with Garmin support, trying to find a display that can provide a flight director without the need for an autopilot or external flight director. In my case there are no approved autopilots for the airplane, but I would like to have a flight director for hand flying. I...

The one hanging at McAllen must have "evolved" from the original since the single wheel is in the front vs. the back.

I hope their delivery estimate is better than they had for their Skylight to match up with the Skybeacon. Skylight is still not available after all these years.

Oh oh, alarm bells ringing…Where/which investment vehicles at Schwab?

Thanks for replies. The four point method would require drilling holes (for rivets and torsion rod to hold a clevis for attachment point) so requires a 337 field approval. I have an inquiry into BAS to see if they have an assembly that would attach to the clevis for that arrangement. The...
