You should try it and see. (at altitude obviously) I know in my plane it really matters how much flaps I have in and what my airspeed is. If I'm at 40* of flaps, Ill most likely be too slow if I pull it back to say 20* It would be something interesting to try up at altitude and see how it...

I had to get blood work done for my annual physical this morning. You know the deal, fasting for at least 12 hours. I always get their early (before they open) because there's always a line. Today was no exception, I got their 20min before they open and was 6th in line. Then I got a great...

KDTW isn't much better when it comes to letting small planes in. They will sometimes let you fly over the field but you have to know exactly what to ask for, and be at the right place when you ask. During Covid, back in 2020 when everything was slow. I would call up Detroit approach and...

NO! He just passed private! Not interment. lol.

If that's the case and install isn't crazy..... this is going to sell like hot cakes!

@Jesse Saint Just curious what the all in, installed price is compared to the AC 100 and GFC500?

I don’t see how going full rich would cause EGT to rise. But I absolutely agree with what you said. I don’t do the “mixture full rich” at landing. In fact, if I go full rich at idle with carb heat on my engine will complain! If a go around is required it’s, cram, clean, climb! I know my spark...

I agree with this but, you will hear from others that partial carb heat can cause ice to form deeper in the carb. I've heard "stories" of partial carb heat, causing ice deep in the carb that full heat would not melt.

If I did this in my 182, I would have to leave the carb heat on all the time in fall, winter and spring. Mine pretty much lives in the yellow other than hot days.

Exactly, This is why we have the rule of thumb to increase approach speeds buy 1/2 the gust factor.

Yes I do. I got the A20's on eBay for cheaper then the DC's My comment was more about using the LEMO plugs as apposed to battery power.

My AV20 defiantly needed the gyro calibration after install. It was way off until I ran the calibration. I also had to set the AOA limits after doing the gyro cal.

It's in the manual. It is very simple but you need to be on level ground and its best to do it in a hangar or on a 0 wind day.

I started with a pair of good old ANR David Clarks and they were perfectly fine. Then, when I bought my plane the previous owner had installed the 6 pin LEMO plugs along with the standard plugs. This was just too tempting! So, my good old David Clarks became the back seat sets and I got 2...

If anyone is interested, this video is pretty accurate to what I see with the AV20s. I have flown chandelles, lazy 8, power on and off stalls in all configurations and this is pretty much what I see on the AV20s.

Yeah I agree. When I bought it I figured the AOA function would be nothing more then a novelty. I got it because my clock was flaking out and it has some cool clock / timer functions. But, to my surprise its actually pretty functional as an AOA.

I have the AV20 in my 182. I got it as a replacement for my clock but also for the AOA (I expected it to be more of a novelty). After running the calibration on the AV20 it's surprisingly accurate in all configurations, even steep turns.

I mostly use FF for briefings. Sometimes I will call if there's something I don't quit understand. If I call I always ask for an "Abbreviated Briefing" Like others have said, the standard briefing can take forever! They keep you on the phone for so long that the weather has probably changed...

That's awesome! good for you.. don't be afraid to get liberal with contact cleaner. As long as everything is powered off and you let it dry, it wont hurt anything.

I agree 100% I've had my GTN750 with the FS510 for over 3 years now and its pretty much bullet proof! The database concierge works outstanding! My data bases are never expired anymore.
