I frequently fly the Trio Pro Pilot with roll servo on only especially when in IMC. This allows me to control altitude while freeing up some mental cpu for other tasks without concern for heading wander. One of my biggest gripes with the GFC 500 is that it lacked the ability to engage the...

Reported. Er, reported to the FAA, not reported to the management council.

Ok, thanks for the responses. Just confirming that I didn't screw up, again. I had an older (now changed) local number for ktri. When that didn't work I checked the AFD and called the number there. When they said no I asked them to confirm I had the correct local number for ktri. They did...

You know the 530 has a setting for mic gain too, correct?

so I hear. That's not the correct number, quoting myself: Chart supplement says https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/fli...7&ident=ktri&volume=&state=&chart=&advanced=1 CLEARANCE DELIVERY PHONE: For CD if una to ctc on FSS freq, ctc Atlanta ARTCC at 770-210-7692. Atlanta on 770-210-7692 says no...

When calling for clearance delivery prior to departing an uncontrolled field IFR, we used to call a nationwide number for clearance delivery. Now we have to contact the controlling tower directly. I have read the phone number is available in the FAA Chart Supplement. That information has also...

Turn up mic gain? Given that you stated it began a few weeks ago, it sounds like somethings changed. Anything changed you know of? This really sounds like a failing antenna, but your low SWR isn't consistent with a failing antenna.

For me it was a verbal agreement he could fly whenever he wanted in exchange for free cfi'ing. Structure for us was loose. I put him on insurance, gave him a key and said have at it.

Sounds like one of the reasons I wouldn't fly into Oshkosh. Sounds like a modification of pilots usual approach with pressure to get on the ground instead of going around.

Then to my question above - do you toss out a low ball scenario? You are taking on added financial risk after all. Or do you walk away? Nothing ventured nothing gained. I would offer this explanation along with your offer for sellers consideration.

Concur. I had Charter at my home and would pay a few hundred whenever I received a bill to decrease the frequency I had to remit payment. They would not mail a bill when I had a credit on my account. Eventually I received a bill and noticed they had started charging me for modem rental a long...

I've never flown an ES. In mine I was taught to never be under 100 mph except during takeoff and on short final. Whatever speed I read on the report earlier in this thread sounds awfully slow.

Yes, yet some pilots seem to think all aircraft other than a jet should fly the pattern behind them at whatever slow speed they repeatedly lap the airport. There's been the suggestion on the lancair forum that all lancairs should do the warbird arrival due to concerns over getting too slow...

Interesting so many use this sort of filter. I'm a big fan of experimental but apart from a few aforementioned specific use cases, why divert from the well trodden path in such a critical component?

If Mercedes Benz didn't invent the automobile and Chevy came along and offered the exact same product I would give up on my trusted Chevy because it was bad. It would be bad because of proprietary design and overpriced compared to say Ford or even dare I say it, Chrysler. When my SL600 had a...

They were also selling lifetime updates for various EFIS if I recall.

Sadly, SA is not the first company to do this. This kind of lack of integrity really bothers me. Going out of business is one thing, but simply choosing to not honor ones commitments is another all together. It seems to be relatively common in the software industry which reflects poorly on...

Don't you have another available mag to swap in temporarily to rule out the right mag being the source of the issue? If the issue is resolved by a right mag swap, then the right mag was the cause.

Pretty slick magneto you have there. Swap out the right mag and see if the issue persists.
