Especially in somewhat larger towns, see if there’s a welding supply place that will transfill them while you wait. My experience has been the smaller shops are more likely to do so - and it’s WAY cheaper than at any on-field resource I’ve seen. It’s $14 around me for the 15-22cf ones. They’ll...

Not exactly sure what you’re asking but I think they do, although the term may be debatable. Some still have a CD frequency but it could be the same person doing Clearance, Ground, and Tower at the same time on three frequencies (as happened recently to me at KONT). At a TRACON, or even for...

That’s an older manual, I think, and applied to my old 700. But the newer software (such as in the 830 I upgraded to a few years ago) is covered by the manual I linked to. For the old software, although one could reset the fuel in flight if one had forgotten to do so on the ground, it would...

I’m pretty sure it is. Here’s the manual for the 830. Most of the info you’re looking for is in the 50’s pages, I think. https://www.jpinstruments.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/PG-EDM-730_830_851_740-Rev-F-TB2.pdf

Take a look at page 57 for a start. https://www.jpinstruments.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/PG-EDM-730_830_851_740-Rev-F-TB2.pdf

Yes, exactly like that. Two minor caveats: you need to wait a bit after “Program?” comes on until the “refuel?” option shows up (which is demonstrated in the video). Second, if you’re adding a “nonstandard” amount of fuel, the amount is added to the initial fuel remaining, not to any presets...

BTW: you say your plane is IFR capable and you're certified but not current/proficient. I encourage you to try and get proficient before the trip: it offers lots more options. For example, crossing over the LA basin IFR would be a lot more comfortable, IMHO, than either crossing it VFR or...

We just finished a trip from Bend, OR to Austin in our 180 hp Warrior. Have done the trip you’re talking about a handful of times. There are few decent stops on the route for our planes. KTUS is actually decent but may be too short for your first day (Executive Air is decent, the Four Points...

Today’s real-world experience: At 6:47 this morning I filed on 1-800wxbrief.com (Leidos) on my phone from KONT for a scheduled departure at 8:00. At 6:48 I got an email from Leidos with the route I filed AND I got an email at the same time from FlightAware with an amended route, which included...

Barron - is that you?!? https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/verdict-against-barron-thomas.58039/

The knob correlates pretty well with the result I get from the E6B in my Aera 660 - typically either spot on or off by a knot either way. Same with the 275 and the E6B, for that matter, since the IAS is consistently lower on the steam gauge than the 275. Interestingly the altimeter reads a few...

It has a knob you turn to set the temp vs alt, which moves a ring (white in the pix) to show TAS. Both the CAS and TAS on the steam gauge consistently read a few knots lower than the 275. Yep - I was at 16K in my (180hp) Warrior. A solid endorsement for ElectroAir!

Mine came pitched for climb and I found I frequently had issues keeping it below red line at altitude so I had it repitched to cruise. That helped tremendously with avoiding redline but added a few degrees to CHT. It did increase my cruise speed a few knots but didn’t hurt my climb performance...

For TAS as well? My newish 275 reads a few knots faster than the steam gauge. Both are plumbed into the same pitot-static system (which had all the tubing replaced when the 275 went in). I wanna believe the 275 but just checking. But I think you’re right.

She took off on 12L and started off turning right, possibly to 150. Look at the track on the pix in the OP. Then the controller told her to turn left - which she did - but way too far. Seems to me the controllers did just fine and were very diplomatic

Yes and no

Following the magenta line the wrong way?

Albuquerque is about a 3 hour drive away and Ruidoso, a nice town in the pines (with wild horses and elk grazing in people’s yards) is about 1:15 away and has lots of cute VRBO cabins.

I think most of us were expecting something closer to 90-120 minutes of this: Now, even that video in IMAX would still be cool. (Pretty sure this is a redo; the original used A-4’s)
