I wish! Not enough days in the week to fit it all in. One day I hope to make it.

That’s different…usually the Aspen just red X’es as opposed to shutting off. So I’ve heard…

That goes into my confusion of this. With his commitment to training/safety, I’m thinking he would have understood his autopilot inside and out. I have tested the level button in some crazy (not filmed) situations and it always does it’s job. At a minimum you would have seen it trying to right...

Not on the STEC 3100 (that he had). When you first engage the AP it’s in pitch and roll mode to capture what you have. You can do vertical with the push of a button or lateral or both indiscriminate of each other.

You mean the biggest plane doesn’t have the right of way???

I’ve typed stuff on this thread then backed out a few time. While I didn’t know him, he was a member over at the Twin Cessna owners group where he was highlighted in a recent magazine. He had dual Garmin glass, top autopilot, top Twin Cessna specialty shop maintenance, lots of training in...

I remember back before I had auto-squelch. Poor people. :):) Congrats on your new AP and most importantly that they got it right out the gate!!

I’d ride it

Don’t worry, when you break down and do that half your updates won’t be on the JDM app. You’ll call and hold forever, they won’t fix it. You’ll do their chat. They will claim it’s fixed. Next update still jacked. Then you’ll see your CC statement and realize they charged you 50-100 more than you...

I flew into Dayton and the FBO gave me a courtesy car to take to the museum. Obviously worked well. This was 4 years ago or so.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully the fires subside big time or I’ll have to re-work this trip. I’m not flying into unfamiliar mountainous terrain with smoke. Hopefully someone who has flown central CA to Yellowstone route can give me some thoughts as well.

I've been flying General Aviation for over 20 years and haven't made it west of the Rockies. Looking to change that in October. I have loosely planned out a flight to meet some of my wife's request on things she'd like to see. I know I am missing tons of "while you're out there" stuff but this...

I live close to that one. I can pick you up after you land. Portillos is one of the few things I really like about living up here. :)

I guess if you have to add several quarts between changes it could make sense. I dump the pint in at oil change, it gets mixed during the post change run to leak check and then usually only put in one quart between changes. Given that, I’ve never thought about adding any camgaurd between...

The saga continues. Ordered online for the bundle. Never showed up. Called. They couldn’t help and would call back. Many hours later should be fixed by tomorrow. Go back the following day. They didn’t have the chart bundle there. Called and they couldn’t help till Monday. See on my bank...

That’s like asking people Coke vs Pepsi. :) Good luck on your shopping quest. Fun times! Report back with pics.

Yeah, me too. He’s pretty chill till he gets triggered. He was at that moment. He called the OIC of the place and it trickled down. Didn’t want to do that but I was getting ready to walk out. I warned him not to fall for that when it came. It never did surprisingly. He enlisted for 4 years...

Wonder how many hours of my life I’ve wasted on the phone, on hold or waiting for them to resolve an issue. Renewed my service at 8am. It’s 1150 and still nothing on their portal. “They will have to get back to me.” As expensive as they are, I would pay more to not deal with them ever again...

He got it guaranteed. They tried screwing with him about must pick 5 jobs. I went in and told him politely that he’s not going to. He really wanted to serve in the AF and do ATC. I told the recruiter if you want him, guarantee it otherwise I’ll send him to a CTI school. It all worked out. I...

Not yet. They wait till closer to graduation. They had 2 quit the first week. I think my class graduated with about 40% that started. If he gets DM I know who will help me keep an eye on him. :) He’s hoping for the SE but you know how that can go.
