KMKC

I just flew out of KC downtown this weekend, was departing 19 but destination was north, clearance was make an immediate right turn to 250 heading. I can't say for sure how high I was when I began my turn but I always wait until 300' before getting my flaps up and I never turn before that. First...

If/when they have a mobile solution it'll be a nail in the coffin for SuriusXM, or at least they'd have to dramatically reduce the pricing of it! It'd sure be sweet to have access to internet weather apps while in the air, not to mention calls and texts. I have a SuriusXM subscription but only...

I wonder if Starlink will offer a mobile receiver of some sort? SiriusXM works great in a plane, I'd think satellite based internet would as well.

What are these "ball games" you speak of?

I don't have a fancy glass panel, I do have a pair of G5's, IFD440 and a GTX 345. I run 2 Ipads in the cockpit, Ipad mini yoke mount I run the IFD100 app, on my Guardian Avionics panel mount I have an 11" Ipad Pro, I usually have Garmin Pilot running. I use the 11" for filing flight plans and...

An airport close to home has avgas now for $3.40/gal. Got me thinking, does anyone prepay when the price drops? I'm not even sure if any FBO's do that?

I opted for the PMA450A when I upgraded from my KMA24. Could get slightly used ones pretty reasonable, others were upgrading from the 450A to 450B's when they came out. I love the LCD screen menu, so much easier to navigate! So easy to set different input modes for pilot, co-plot and crew, plus...

I use both FlyQ and Garmin Pilot. I always use FlyQ for my pre-flight planning (along with other resources) and filing my flight plans. I've kept my Garmin Pilot subscription (VFR only) for two reasons, for in flight ADS-B in coming from my GTX345, and the log book feature. Now that I have my...

I got an email from from them, can add a year to your current subscription for $49 VFR, $99 IFR/VFR. Offer ends Sunday. I like FlyQ, I think I have a couple years left on my current IFR subscription. I think I'll wait and do the lifetime subscription when I get closer to mine expiring.

How about interior design? They claim Renault had a hand in the design of the TB series interior....can you see a theme with a mid-80's Renault?

That's what it looks like when I have nowhere to go....I get confused! :eek:

Went up flying yesterday and my wife came along. Nowhere to go so we just buzzed around for about an hour. I don't do that often, even though I love to fly I prefer going to a destination, right now even if you go somewhere there is nothing to do once you get there. My wife took a few pictures...

Interesting, I didn't know that, I stand corrected.:)

I've had it happen, in both the single and now dual G5 install. It's probably happened to me four or five times in a couple hundred flight hours. Not that big of a deal, happens on start up, just hold down the power button and it boots up. I know there is a new software update out now, maybe...

F4U would be my choice. I remember watching Black Sheep Squadron in the 70's (yes I'm that old!), loved that show and it got me hooked on the Corsair. BUT, if I could have a "fighter" from WW2, it'd be the P38 Lightning! Coolest of the cool IMO. Interesting that the Corsair was actually...

I run two Ipads, yoke mounted Ipad mini running the IFD100 app, and a Guardian Avionics panel mount 11" Ipad pro, running Garmin Pilot. I use Garmin Pilot because it connects very well to my Garmin GTX345, and I like the log book. I have it on the moving map for traffic and weather, nice to have...

The IFD100 app on the Ipad acts as a second display. You can create and edit flight plans, tune frequencies and run a completely different screen than what you have the panel IFD on. You do have to swap frequencies from stand by to active on the panel mounted IFD, you cannot do that in the...

I echo what groundpouder said, I found it was quicker and easier to go between GPSS and NAV before getting the G5's, when it was just a button on my panel. I also forget the G5 isn't touch screen, or hybrid touch like my IFD440. More than once I've pushed the button, turned the knob to GPSS and...

I'll comment on the planes. I started my flight training, like most people in a 172. While still a student I purchased a TB20, I really "thought" I wanted to get a TB10, but they were hard to find and you got a lot more for your $'s in the TB20. Anyway, I found the TB20 to be easier to land than...
