DB is not the problem. That will be kept up for a long while. Parts for something with 20yo(age of original G1000) electronics technology is definitely a time ticking bomb. This is the current issue with chips for cars. Garmin would be smart to stock up a lot of parts for servicing them, but...

GNS can be easily replaced with a better system. G1000 cannot

That certainly will happen at some point, but i suspect that point is still fairly far removed from now. At least for G1000. There are a lot of them and they are prohibitively difficult to replace/upgrade even if possible. Garmin can charge just about anything they want to repair them for...

FYI, plenty(maybe all) of modern cars have all systems controlled by infotainment brain. Maybe not an 8-track, but these infotainment systems are often obsolete when they are brand new and often cost nearly as much as some glass options in GA planes.

It doesn’t really matter which card(as in issuer). Maybe the type of card matters if they code differently for Visa(Costco) and MC(Custom Cash), both are Citi cards btw. I’m not sure if that's even a thing. But it’s pretty much how the merchant codes the card reader. If you buy at self fuel, I...

So. The seller claims on FB that the prop is anti harmonic

Not saying that this is a good idea. But this is a motorcycle engine and transmission. A race shifter will allow to just bang gears up at full throttle edit: I was referring to Sonex in the link. Rover is auto, isn’t it?

Legal night currency is just for carrying passengers. You can maintain it by flying(3 full stop landings) once every 3 months (well less then 90 days is more accurate) at night which also covers you regular passenger carrying currency. Or do it "on-demand" before you need to carry passengers...

Some password managers have a functionality that allows the account access to a designated person after death. This is the strategy I'm using. The account also has notes as far as what is where, what to do, and how things are paid. Other than that, clean out all deceased accounts and then set...

definitely, i forgot about that part :)

This is true. However, you can just open a second checking account for that person and give them a regular debit card tied to that account only. Saves you bunch of pre-paid card fees.

if it’s for security reasons it makes no sense. If your sister has a spending problem then it makes sense as it limits the amount she can spend to whatever is loaded on the card. Kind of like on demand budgeting. CC users tend to spend more money than cash users and this approach mimics cash use

Indeed. People that never encounter this phenomena are simply not ready to accept the reality when they do. It's simple as that. I even offered to take the man up in the airplane with foggles :), but that never materialized. He did like to argue with me(and others) all the time. We ended up...

years ago, when I had just gotten my IR, I had an argument with a non-pilot about this. The man was convinced that I was blowing the smoke up his .... trying to explain that your sense of direction is your enemy when you have no visual references. It's all in biology of inner ear. Works...

this is the most correct answer! *must look for a biplane to make me look good now

Right. At reduced MP. Aka you were not in your best configuration and cruising at a bit less power.

I was going to say that, but can't this force you to use less power(MP) on some planes in cruise? Or put you into some forbidden MP/RPM ranges?

Yes, there are a few. This is a very limiting category, is it not? In any case, the definition of complex(notwithstanding FAA definition) was given by the OP as Fixed Pitch Prop and Fixed Gear. AFAIK, there are no 1500lb UL SEL planes that fit that category. But while I perfectly understand...

Why do you even care about it being fixed pitch? Your biggest problem will be 1500lb useful. Not many(any?) SE pistons would do that

Not fixed pitch. Although still not complex by FAA standards. Unable to be used in USA either in any practical manner
