I have also noticed that my iPhone 11 screen does the same thing. As soon as I go out in bright sunlight the screen goes dark even though the brightness is on max high. I can hardly see my phone screen in the bright sun.

So does the 6 have a brighter or better screen than the 5? I don’t have polarized sunglasses just the photochromatic lenses of my glasses. This is really the first time I noticed that the iPad screen was unreadable. The iPad was warm but not to the point of shutting down. I will try the...

I went flying yesterday and had trouble seeing my iPad mini 5 screen running Garmin Pilot. This was around noon so it was getting hot. But the iPad was on the panel charger and I wasn’t getting and overheating shutdown warnings. The screen brightness was at full brightness and GP was in day...

I stNd corrected on the AOPA flight planning app. I tried it again for a long cross country and it did draw a yellow line across the flight path at my reserve remaining point and a red line at the empty tank point. Not sure why I didn’t see it the last few times I messed with it. But I will say...

So what tool do folks use when planning long distance cross countries to preplan their fuel stops. Using GP of FF I usually had to plan the total flight, see how much fuel it would take and then start iterating to find another airport/waypoint with a total fuel burn that fits my tank load. In...

So is there a specific internet forum for Garmin Pilot users? As a new user I have other questions and am always looking for tips and tricks to make it easier to use. Currently I wonder if there is a easy way to plane a fuel stop for a long cross country. I don’t see any long distance range or...

So just call EI and ask for Dave? Is there a last name?

My MP sensor is mounted inside the cabin up under the instrument panel. The original MP line from the engine to the old analog gauge was left in place and the shop just coupled the EI sensor’s clear tube to that old line. So any oil or fuel has several feet to cross to get up to the sensor.

Any insight into exactly what they (EI) knows? Is this a common problem? I have Navion friends with the MVP-50 that have never had an issue with their MP. Is it a carb versus Fuel injection issue? I have sent EI a email describing the issue so I will see what their response is.

Not sure how oil would migrate back to the sensor. That little box is mounted just under the instrument panel. It’s just zip tied to other electric cables and the clear tube that come out of the sensor box is connected to the hard line running up to the firewall and then there is hose in the...

My MP sensor is behaving erratically again and providing artificially low or zero reading even though the engine is running fine. My plane is a ‘49 Navion with the E-225 engine. This is the 3rd MP sensor that has been installed in my plane since the CHR was installed in April 2022. The first...

That did it. Thx so much. I FF I was used to manually entering the times for retract, complex and hi perf. It’s nice to have those auto entered for me.

Thx for the responses. I found the fly Garmin page where I can review the flights. It’s a little i convenient to do that but it works so now I know how to use that. I did find a page in GP where I have set up a Ryan Navion A as a hi performance retract. I selected that as the plane for my flight...

So I recently switched the Garmin Pilot from Foreflight and I have some questions about missing features. In FF after a flight that was recorded you could see the recorded flight path on the map and if you looked at the profile view you could see the Alt and speed traces and use a slider to go...

Well using these numbers I would only save $30-40 switching to Garmin PIlot so that's not a big savings. I was hoping to save $100-200 or more. I have used FF for years now and not sure I want to switch if it doesn't save me lots of $$$. Thx everyone.

I need to update the databases on my GNX375 in my Navion and am looking at a Garmin OnePak bundle. Does that bundle come with a full Garmin PIlot app subscription or just a Premium upgrade if I have already purchased the standard version separately? Currently I use Foreflight Plus and need to...

My Navion has 2 Narco MK-12D navcoms. Com1 has the GS and Com2 does not. Before my recent panel upgrade Com1 was my go to radio for all com and it worked fine. No noise or static what so ever. Com2 worked fine except at times the feedback side tone in the headset during transimssions was...

Thx for the reply Dave. Let me get with my installer and see how they want to proceed. When I last spoke with them they said that the MP sensor was just installed inside the cabin onto the same pipe that originally was connected to the analog MP Gauge. I can’t be sure about any plastic tubing...

I spoke with the installer and they said the sensor was installed inside the cabin onto the old connection to the original analog sensor. Since it read zero it’s pretty much a wiring connection issue. When I check this morning the MP was reading ambient just fine.

Another thing I have decided to do is just listen to the iPad prestart checklists without the headset and then listen to the rest after engine start through the headset. That seems to work fine.
