Yes it is indeed a disadvantage of the TT over the gFC500 and one that is a bit buried in the AFMS. I think some people do not read these documents before they buy a product (or ever) haha. There have been a few discussions (maybe on this forum and certainly on others) about the lack of...

The Trutrak is not legally allowed to fly "coupled instrument procedures" in certified aircraft. It does have the capability of flying the approach and following manually entered altitudes during the step downs or a complete LPV approach following the glide slope. It will only follow GPS...

I only ever hear very good stories about them and my interactions have shown they have very good support. It's one of the reasons I went with Dynon vs another brand.

As many of you know, last September I had the Dynon HDX system installed in my Piper PA32-300. I have been practicing VFR and under the hood for awhile and now we finally have some clouds here in Southern California to take advantage of. I was particularly nervous this time since I haven't flown...

AOPA I think had published something awhile back that one could calculate insurance, maintenance, hangar, etc in the operating expenses. I guess they will have to revise that!

Yes that is a good point.

Super ballpark here: Airplane with more than 260 HP - $120k, Insurance $2k/year (will get cheaper as you get more time), Hangar (L.A. area) $4800/yr, Maintenance $4k/yr plus fuel for your trips which will vary depending on how much you fly. (I think I was around 12-15k...

Are you a private pilot or just thinking about getting in to it? I will say that the road to getting a private pilot license, your instrument rating (definitely recommended to get out of LA/KSMO during a lot of marine layer days), mountain flying training, and maintaining proficiency so you can...

I know it has been discussed a bit here and I thought I would add to the available information. We recently adopted another dog- ok my wife did while I was out of town and mostly out of cell phone coverage! very sneaky. She wanted to have a dog that would make a good copilot and she thought this...

Ground will clear you to taxi to the runway usually. This means you can taxi up to the hold short line without a further clearance from my understanding. At some airports I have been given a taxi clearance to taxi to the run up area, in which case after I'm done I contact ground again to get...

This happened at the hold short line. The run up area had plenty of room. He was in it, I was in it. 2 planes remained from a previous line of 4 at hold short line. I watched them depart one by one while I was doing my run up. I finished my run up, taxi'd to the back of the line. Now I'm...

Understood about the frequencies. But why not pull up behind me in line with all the other aircraft? Why pull up beside? Even if he thought I might be IFR tower would not let me leave the run up area unless my release was imminent.
