This was our route on the way to Key West, as you can see not a lot of flying over open water. We had life jackets along, so if the spinny thing up front stops I'm ditching in the ocean.

Here are a couple of pix my wife took. I didn't take any. We have so many pictures from the air on our trips to the Bahamas so we tend not to take that many anymore. Personally, the Bahamas was prettier from the air IMO.

We just got home from our trip, my wife and I celebrated 30 yrs together on Jan 26th. This will be a quick trip report and pirep of the places we visited. We flew from KOTG (home base) to KBWG the first day, only about a 3.5 hour flight, but wanted to get out of the midwest before a snow storm...

I have two iPads when I fly, a yoke mounted iPad mini non cellular and an iPad Pro panel mounted with cellular. I've never noticed a difference BUT they both connect via wifi to my IFD440 for there GPS source. So in my case i didn't see the need to have the iPad mini cellular. I also always have...

I can tell you I’ve spent way to much time trying to find the best batteries for our Lightspeed PFX’s. We’ve come to the conclusion there is no such thing. It seems like we chance batteries out every couple of flights, Duracell and Energizers seem to be the best, Ray-O-Vac are junk IMO...

Getting back to the original question on this thread, Avidyne is going to be offering a paid hardware upgrade to the IFD line. With firmware 10.3, they'll be supporting what they call "high resolution terrain" data, for this feature you need more memory storage. So, they'll have the additional...

I have an Onyx Plus with the antenna on the glare shield. Works great!

Unfortunately I think I know the pilot. He was the only one on board. I live only 15 miles from Windom, small community. Will be sad!

I watched and commented on your video earlier. I have the 450A, love it! I know the 450B adds another bluetooth receiver and some other capabilities, but I'm very happy with the 450A and don't really feel like I need to upgrade. I love the screen user interface. Makes changing audio inputs and...

I've kept both GP and FlyQ subscriptions for this reason. I have the IFR subscription of FlyQ, cheaper than Garmin Pilot and I really like the flight planning on FlyQ. I've kept the VFR subscription of GP mainly for the log book. I do use GP in flight for traffic and weather too. I really like...

I have about a year left on a three year FlyQ subscription. It'll be interesting to see if they offer the same kind of deals anymore. I have a Garmin GTX345 but I do get ADS-B traffic and weather on FlyQ, it comes thru my IFD440.

I bought two pairs of these http://www.av-sun.com/ a few years ago, I think somebody on POA recommended them. Lightweight titanium frames, so they work well with noise cancelling headsets. My wife and I wear them on almost every flight, I leave them in the plane. I (we) need readers, but most...

Everything about Scrappy is overkill, I think that's kind of the point. I suspect that Scrappy will be used as a "bush plane" for some youtube videos, but mostly as a show plane to be parked in front of the Garmin tent (like Draco at Osh last year), a "look what we can do" thing. I do love...

I fly with an ipad mini and an 11" ipad pro, actually hate the pro. They have more processing power than I need and it overheats ALL the time, pretty much not even usable in the summer. The ipad mini never overheats. Just my experience, but I regret buying the pro.

Gotta give him some slack, his better half wasn't along and she usually manages the radios. ;)

No, I just did what ATC told me to do, I repeated back the instruction of an immediate turn to 250 and wasn't corrected. When switched to KC departure they turned me to a 270 heading. My departure clearance may just have been because my final heading was going to be 350 as I was heading back to...

Yes I was

Yep, but I was given an immediate right turn to 250 heading. I had a business jet behind me so I think they wanted me out of his way.

We (my wife and 23yr old daughter) were looking for something fun to do, just an overnight, some good food and a little shopping and site seeing. We decided on Kansas City, I hadn't been there so I did a little research and picked the Country Club Plaza area. We stayed at the Country Club Plaza...
