    Suggestion on VHF receiver for the hanger

    Does anybody have a suggestion on an inexpensive VHF receiver for the hangar? Ideally one that also received AM, FM and VHF that I could plug into the wall. Would be nice to listen to airport trafic while I was working on the airplane. Thanks

    $199 ADSB In from ForeFlight

    Today I flew with the new Scout ADS B reciever. It was connected to 2 ipads and worked great. I think this is a terrific value.

    Stratus ESG ADS-B Traffic traffic warning audio alerts

    Thanks guys, you confirmed what I was thinking. How valuable are the alerts? Do you you find yourself noticing the traffic on the display before you get the alert. I tend to want to keep my eyes outside.

    Stratus ESG ADS-B Traffic traffic warning audio alerts

    Another nice aspect of the alert coming from the the audio panel is that everyone with headsets can help look for traffic, but maybe this is moot because with the traffic on the map you can easily find it.

    Stratus ESG ADS-B Traffic traffic warning audio alerts

    Does this system (Transponder plus Stratus 2S) have these audio alerts via the audio panel or is this only coming from a connection on the iPad app to your headset? I know the GTX-345 has the audio interface to the panel. How much do you like the audio alerts? I would think this is a key...

    Wife spots drone at near 4500 feet

    Saw an interesting article on bird strikes vs drone impact testing. They say the drones cause more damage pound per pound because of the dense materials plus they cause fires due to the lithium battery.

    Wife spots drone at near 4500 feet

    She has good eyes and is not new to flying. She is confident it was a drone. That means it was way too close.

    Wife spots drone at near 4500 feet

    Not sure what you mean here. But I would imagine the drone could cause some serious damage to me and my Archer at that speed.

    Wife spots drone at near 4500 feet

    My friend is a photographer with the latest drone and he is also a pilot. He said his drone has a 4 mile range and can go to 4500ft (but has not done that).

    Wife spots drone at near 4500 feet

    On 5/20 while flying at 4500 FT MSL roughly 10 miles East of Albany, NY my wife (non pilot) stated that she saw a red round drone pass below us. I did not see it, otherwise I would I would have reported it. Based on her description, it sure appears to have been a drone and it must have been...

    Web Version for Garmin Pilot?

    Is there a web version for Garmin Pilot like there is for Foreflight? I have been using Foreflight for 6 months and like it, but now I'm evaluating Garmin Pilot and it appears to be even better than FF on the iPad as app, but I also like to use FF web for planning and I can't seem to find one...

    I have some scratches on inside my pilots side window just above the window access door. It is an area about the size of a quarter and it looks like someone scratched it up with a screw driver or something. I would like to remove them before I install my new Kool Vent nearby. They will...

    Installed cost for GTN-650 and GTX-345?

    Personally, I think the GPSS functionality available now is amazing! Back in the Eighties and Nineties I worked at helcopter manufacturers integrating Avionics systems. The high resolution GTN color moving map functionality with GPSS steering available now is far better than the helo systems we...

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't find anything on Long Island to be a good deal. My friends who live on LI also feel the same. :-)
