Good info...I will check with JPI of course. Thanks!

I am considering upgrading from my EDM 830 to the EDM 900 BUT I wonder about the fuel pressure sensor data. My Arrow 200, Lyc IO-360, has a diaphragm type fuel pump. The pressure pulses from the pump cause my current Piper fuel pressure gauge to flutter, a common occurrence I understand. If I...

The FAA has installed web cams on virtually all of the mountain passes in Colorado. In addition to the AWOS for LaVeta pass you can log onto FAA webcams at: https://weathercams.faa.gov/map and actually see the weather at the passes. I have flown LaVeta pass many, many times and my limit is 30...

I have flown my '69 Arrow 200 to Montreal, Canada; OSH; and over the Rockies from my home base in Colorado Springs to Oregon (so many times I lost track), Washington state and and Utah multiple times; San Diego 2 or 3 times and Albuquerque dozens of times day and night. Good maintenance habits...

Even new equipment can have issues. You do exactly what I do...anything that looks suspicious gets replaced. Keeping up with minor maintenance items is my rule. But being prepared, mentally and schedule-wise like you say, for en-route mechanical issues is the best we can do building on a well...

There are WIFI extenders available that have external antennas which would either help by themselves or allow a remote antenna connection where you could mount the antenna outside of your hangar. Check the Internet for those. Like Kevin said above, I had no local WIFI access so I bought a...

Good thing I plan to keep driving my '71 Volvo. Brand new cost me $3300 and only has 566k on the clock. I won't live long enough to justify a new car.

I carry one but it uses lithium batteries (10 year shelf life) that I replace yearly as well as I keep the replaced batteries as spares. Also a 12 VDC cable to panel cig socket. My com #2 antenna has a break-out BNC jumper on the instrument panel so I can connect my handheld directly to the...

And unfortunately, since it might be a bit of a scheduling issue to get a new Basic Med exam, the expiration date keeps creeping up so that it doesn't expire. I don't want to wait until too close to the expiration date to have the physical in case of blizzards, etc. that might cancel an/or...

Back in 1990 I took my son to Carslbad Caverns in our C-172 but at that time there was a dirt "landing strip", E27, in Whites City, NM which is the entrance town to Carlsbad. E27 was a "duster" strip literally across the road from a nice motel where we stayed. They had a shuttle to the...

I also have a '69 Arrow with the BatteryMinder connected to the starter solenoid battery terminal and a ground close by. I have the "official" PowerPole connector that just resides on the floor of the baggage area close to the "hatch" access to the back of the plane. No way to really mount...

I fly at 12.5 routinely over the mountains here in Colorado with my IO-360 Arrow. No biggy...Highest I have had to go was 15.5 on a smoky day to make sure I was above the "Fourteeners". Granted I am not anywhere close to gross weight but plan ahead as the above post said. My home-drome...

Ballast for me too!!

One wheel chock for my Arrow plus the "Claw" and ratchet straps for tie-down. 3 -10 inch by 14 inch by 1/2 inch thick aluminum plates for soft ground. Also a full cabin cover and cowl plugs, oil cooler inlet plug, pitot cover. Controls are locked by a strap between them and snapped onto a...

I also have the inReach mini in my plane. It is connected to a 12 volt source so the battery isn't drained. Earthmate on my iPhone is what I use for messages. Pretty slick little box!

No compass deviation card - FAIL.

Forget Meadowlake. Many, many hangars are full of junk, small businesses, storage, woodshops, auto repair outfits, etc. There is a list of at least 30 airplane owners looking for AIRPLANE hangars but each unit is privately owned and the airport has NO SAY in what the owners do with their...

Follow on: I added the external GPS antenna (glare shield mounted) for my G5 ADI. The glareshield-mounted GPS antenna (Garmin part number 011-04036-00) feeds a GPS receiver inside the G5 which provides position, velocity, and time data to support various functions. The G5 will use this source...
