Bakers and Aero-Tech only teach what you need to get the license. They know what the DME’s are going to ask on the oral and they know what you be tested on for the practical. The written exams are memorize, test, repeat two more times. The only issue is the written prep software was pretty out...

I went to Aero-Tech in Nov 2020. Great place, work at your own pace and lots of support. Great DME’s in the area as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have 2 G5s fed a GPS signal by the GTN 650. If I lost the alternator, then the ships battery would power the magnometer and GTN 650. I would then load shed to make the ships battery last as long as possible. Assuming I have 30 min of battery I should be able to land somewhere…hopefully. If...

You’re going to make a great CFI, if that is your goal.

Tell him it’s your record on the line. If you don’t feel he is ready, then don’t sign him off. If he doesn’t like it, then he can find another instructor. It’s really that simple. There’s always another CFI for him and always another student for you. The circle of CFI life. Sent from my...

There are at least three 337’s approved by the FAA for the Aero-Lites. All FSDO dependent of course. Everyone seems to have a different FAR interpretation with these lights. Some believe that position lights fall under the “Standard Part” definition...

I think that’s probably up there with right seat King Air time. Can’t tell you how many times in my career I’ve seen some one with a ton of King Air time and they can’t pass a simulator eval or training for a type rating. Then we find out they only operated the gear and radios, never the...

That sounds like a lot of work for an already very simple and intuitive GTN650. I’m curious, Why do all of this vs just programming the GTN650 directly? Thanks I’m advance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Having done interviews in the past, there are ways to check times against each other and verify flights. While some on here are arguing what is a criminal background violation, the FAR’s also require you to be of good moral character. I’m pretty sure falsifying logbooks violates being a good...

I have a 35C and GTN650. All of my alerts come into the headset. I connect my iPad as one of the Bluetooth devices on the 35C and they come into the headset as well. I also have an Aera660 being ran through VOR 2 input since I only have 1 VOR. It also comes into the headset. Not sure why your...

Your assessment would be correct. This is why I went with the 660. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m pretty sure what you’re wanting to do isn’t possible. The SD card in the GTN is only to load databases or install a FlightStream 210/510. It doesn’t work as an SD card reader in the way you’re trying to use it or as a traditional SD reader you’re used to. To my knowledge, the only approved...

I had my AGI/IGI and did my CFI Initial this year. The only thing the Ground Instructor certificate got me out of was having to take the FOI written exam again per the FAR’s. I only had to show up with the CFI Airplane written exam results along with the Ground Instructor certificate. The...

Same set up for me. Highly recommend the Garmin GTR-225. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

https://redlineaviation.com/ Bought this about 3 months ago to pull 5300 lb Cessna 310. It does a great job. Inexpensive, easy to find replacement battery and charger, and it’s portable so you can take it with you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m using Coflyt now and plane to switch PlaneLogix. It’s come a long way in the past 2 years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They’re smaller airports in the Texas Hill Country west of Austin. T82 is one of the best places to fly into for a weekend or a meal. They have the Hanger Hotel and the Diner right there. Fantastic airport. You can take an Uber into town where they have breweries, distilleries, and wineries...

Mine are digitized too, but not searchable. I believe PlaneLogix has a way for you to update logbooks and make them searchable through OCR technology. It’s a feature I just read on their website. It used to be that you had to send PlaneLogix your logbooks and they covert to OCR. It’s was...

Check out Coflyt. It’s what I use currently. Very user friendly and you can set up all of the reminders you want. It has an iPhone making entries easy. https://app.coflyt.com/users/sign_in The other one out there is PlaneLogix. They will scan in your mtx records for you. It’s more in-depth...

Depends on which state you purchased a plane in if you have to pay sales tax. Definitely paying sales tax is not always the case. I’ve flown aircraft for an aircraft closings to a specific states so the purchaser did not have to pay sales tax at closing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
