    Interesting Garmin webinar that you can't register for.

    So that "wasn't their department" but they forwarded my email to someone else who had the right link. @thito01, don't know if they updated the website but this should work: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/5825049197213583116

    Interesting Garmin webinar that you can't register for.

    I'm seeing that too, and I'd also be interested in that webinar. There's an e-mail address I've seen Garmin add to a lot of their webinar slides: AviationTraining.Webinar@garmin.com. I just sent an email to them about the problem. Let's see if that helps.

    Buying a plane that isn't local.

    I also used Savvy to manage the prebuys (all three of them) while I was searching for my plane last year. They were another cost on top of all the other costs, but I figured this was my first airplane purchase, I didn't know what I didn't know, and I liked having someone who was so removed from...

    Partnerships

    I think there are some pilots that work great in partnerships, and others who are more, "you want me to let somebody else fly my airplane??" Make sure you're not in this second group before you go into a partnership. When I decided to leave the club I was in I almost bought a plane with a...

    Cessna 172 Garmin Upgrade. GEA 24 EIS or JPI 900

    It's newer overall, faster processor, TSO'd, I like the HSI map feature it has. I also prefer the GI275 over the G5, and the feeling I get is that it's meant to be paired with the G500. I work in tech and being the newer product was probably the biggest plus for me. The avionics shop gave me a...

    Cessna 172 Garmin Upgrade. GEA 24 EIS or JPI 900

    I'm upgrading my '78 182 and going full Garmin everything (G500 PFD, GI275 standby, EIS...). For me, the fact that I'm replacing everything and the integration you get going with a single manufacturer makes it an easy decision. I'm leaving the analog tach and MAP gauge as a backup in case of a...

    Panel upgrade: Who gets old avionics?

    I'm going through this now. My quote specifically calls out "All Removed Equipment will be returned to customer." But in the emails with him he mentioned he could give me a quote to buy back some of the old stuff. I think he works with a used avionics reseller. I'm not expecting much if anything...

    My 1959 Cessna 182B

    Even after that I think it was only an option for a while. I just bought a '78 182 and the co-pilot only has a little storm window flap. It's the only thing I'd change about mine. Beautiful plane, Jack. I like the old paint job as well. I'm looking for a classic scheme to repaint mine with when...

    Has anyone ever seen a tri-color VASI in real life?

    I actually got that signal a couple of days ago trying to taxi over to my mechanic's hangar. I lost communications at the hold short line, finally remembered about the light gun, and when I looked up saw alternating red/green. I was like, "Well...what the hell does that mean?" Of course I didn't...

    KISP Schools - Heritage Flight and Mid Island Air?

    I got my PPL at Heritage back in 2010, rented from them for years afterward, and they're still my first choice if I need a CFI for a wings module, or getting current again, or something. Their chief pilot is fantastic, and every CFI I've flown with has been great. I'd highly recommend them. I...
