Finally purchased a hanger at airport at lake house, they never come up for sale.

Icon is easier to store in hanger. And while an expensive toy it’s no different than the boats, seadoos, seabreacher that cost money to maintain every year.

Any PIREPS? I would use it at our lake house which is a vacation home. Currently fly a Saratoga TCII and would keep it, this would basically be a toy to use at the lake.

Complete electrical failure I have almost an hour of battery backup on each device.

This project turned into a what’s another $10,000 multiple times

The plane is worth twice as much as I’m spending on the panel on its own. I flown a Saratoga with the avidyne system, I was not impressed and thought it was garbage.

My father in law can’t keep his medical and therefore can’t fly and sold his plane. He likes to fly mine, I wanted to give him a cockpit of his own when he’s in right seat.

Any reasoning why?

With my 430s no longer being supported after 2024 I decided instead of doing a simple upgrade go for broke. Opinion of panel layout and equipment? Current panel: Equipment list: Garmin G500 TXi 10.6" Landscape PIlot Side Garmin G500 TXi 10.6" Landscape CoPilot Side Garmin G500 TXi EIS 7"...

Any size, would prefer larger commercial one. Cash buyer ready.

I’m on the west coast surrounded by 9k’ peaks. When I was getting checked out in my first plane which was NA the CFI took me to Big Bear on a hot day and said take off like normal. I line up, hold brakes, full power, then release release brakes. Not halfway down the run the CFI cuts power and...

He would have been better off just doing the stunt, removing the plane and discarding it. Why file the paperwork where you know you are going to have to lie to the feds. When the FAA found out about the crash and if they came knocking be like oops and take the slap on the wrist. Never. Ever...

I’m stationed at KPOC which is just below big bear and have been flying to Arizona a lot recently. The winds over those mountains have been crazy with some bad downdrafts, maybe they got wind sheer and couldn’t outperform it. I’ve been 5-10* nose up and still descending.

Love Catalina, nice 4 mile hike around the airport do a couple dozen times a year. Some weekends can be busy, don’t be the guy calling in a 5 mile straight in while there are a few of us accommodating each other and positioning ourselves. Careful of wind-shear couple hundred feet off the...

If I’m on a 15 mile final I’m on an instrument approach and I’m flying the speeds needed.

You start GUMPS on final, must suck to have to fly so rushed. On final I’m 100% configured ready to land and stabilized.

Do you go by Karen?

Yes you can, mine strictly says not to exceed 23” below 2100 RPM

GUMPS starts abeam the numbers at the end of the runway.

Ah, Flabob. The approach where you fly directly towards the mountain, turn just in time, fly in between the mobile homes and make sure all the homeless are off the runway. Yes f you come back to your plane not on blocks and rims stolen it was a good day. I Departed there once at night when the...
