    Sunlight Readable I Pad - when?

    That’s good about the Pro. I wish they would do the same thing with the IPad mini. The iPad mini 5 and 6 only have 500 nits. There isn’t an improvement from the IPad mini 5 to the new iPad mini 6 in terms of brightness. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Air Wagner..... He’s baaaaackk.

    Using the GTN and 2 G5’s in my plane, if you activate vectors, it will automatically select Green Needles (Loc/GS) with the ILS final approach course set. The Loc freq remains in standby. You have to manually select the Loc freq from standby to active. I love the statement at the end of the...

    Regionals Want 1500-Hour Rule Waived

    They were only required to teach stall awareness then. Now they are required to teach AOA, upset recovery, deep stall, and more thanks to the Air France and Colgan accident. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New iPad Mini just announced.

    Getting the Mini 6 just for the 5G capability and the faster processor. Apple is giving me $225 for my 5, but I’m debating on keeping it. It works great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    GTN750 to GTN750xi

    Agreed. In my situation, I would only upgrade my 650 to the 750Xi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New iPad Mini just announced.

    They’re making it sound like the Mini 6 is brighter than the 5. The mini 5 and 6 are both 500 Nits. I’ll be upgrading to the mini 6 for the 5G capability and faster processor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    This the portable Large Arctic Air Real AC works great in Houston heat: https://www.arcticaircooler.com/ I had a new interior put in and the shop did a great job fabricating the AC exhaust. Here some pics during my recent interior install.

    KHOU or other Houston airports

    Pearland doesn’t come close. HOU, EFD, and SGR all have excellent FBO facilities, runways, and ATC services. Pearland has none of those. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Jeppesen is terrible

    Aviation support went away and it’s all the same off shore people that handle music and aviation now. You have to ask to speak to someone in the USA and that gets pushback too. I stopped using them when they won’t work long term or bundle deals anymore. I used to pay for a year in advance for...

    Cessna 310 true cost of ownership

    Careful, she will far exceed your bladder range. After my last 4.5 hour flight, I can certainly attest to it. I bring camping bags with me now that absorb the liquid if you had to use it. Congratulations on your 310. We love our 74 310Q as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Preparing CFI applicant

    Since I had to fly 2 hours to my DPE, I sent all of the endorsements and paperwork ahead of time to make sure he was satisfied and that we had everything. There are a lot of the admin parts to the practical test my examiner shared with me he routinely gets people that aren’t organized. This is...

    How does it have ADS-B and no WAAS? I thought ADSB required a WAAS position. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Having trouble with the CFII written

    That’s the great part of Shepard Air. They’re able to take that 1100 and make it about 300. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Aircraft Spruce’s Panel Rope glareshield lighting

    I installed these “portable” LED’s. $10 on Amazon. USB powered. I can plug them into the top left USB. The pics are full bright and full dim. Not permanently installed, they just use double sided tape which they come with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Having trouble with the CFII written

    I used Sheppard Air for my CFI written and made a 97. I’m using them again for my CFII. I highly recommend them. I found them much better than ASA https://www.sheppardair.com/flight-instructor.htm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
