    Diversity

    For big airplanes, it's required in many many places. For small/GA stuff, Canada is the only real location discussing it.

    Prop engraving -> cracking (fleetwide, C-130)

    Easy solution, just keep upgrading the legacy H fleet to NP-2000's!

    UavioniX Navigator..?

    Unfortunately creating an IFR navigator is significantly more complex than their first few products (UAT, Transponder, poorly working ADI/HSI). They're clearly learning and improving, so maybe it's in the 10 year future?

    Lost GPS While on RNAV Approach in IMC

    That's not how GPS jamming works. You can't jam GPS without jamming GLONASS, since they share the same frequencies/band. It's also worth noting that portable devices (iPhone, iPad, etc) are significantly more forgiving of GPS issues/inaccuracies. Certified GPS (GTN in this case) will drop out...

    GPS Outages around DFW

    If two antennas and two receivers was all it took to prevent jamming, the DoD wouldn't spend hundreds of millions of dollars on antijam every year

    Current loan rates

    An update based on my info from today.. ~5.2% on a 15yr. Not great, not awful.

    How are the Florida peeps doing ?

    We had no power in Ormond for a day, hangar at OMN was fine although I did see 2 or 3 that had their doors ripped off. Lots of airplanes tied down at both OMN and DAB but I didn't see any with major damage at least.

    OT: Burglar Tool?

    Looks like a poor attempt at a wave rake

    GI-275 HSI/CDI to 430W

    Sounds pretty likely that you've got an input or output configured for the wrong format.

    Cheapest IFR Panel - Starting from nothing?

    Still need a bunch of instruments (VSI, Altimeter, Airspeed, etc)

    Midfield - downwind

    Can't disagree here. I've heard some less than clear directions from tower at KFIN

    uAvionix skyBeacon: A false sense of security?

    The X that he's talking about (Tailbeacon X) does indeed require a controller.

    Cheapest IFR Panel - Starting from nothing?

    Definitely not legal for IFR. Portable non certified GPS is no better than an iPad when it comes to nav

    GSA28 (Garmin Autopilot Servo) fails to update

    That's not exactly true. The servos are quite a bit smarter than "simple motors". They absolutely have processors, memory and this software.

    Cheapest IFR Panel - Starting from nothing?

    Nearly any radio/navigator you want?

    (PAINTING) Where to get my Cherokee 180 painted?

    Basically all of those places have FAA A&P/IAs on staff. They make their living doing this for US employees, of course they have the right people to make it legal.

    Private and commercial pilot training in EXPERIMENTAL C172

    I have to agree with some of the above posters. OP is rarely active here other than to talk about the next "big accomplishment" of this V8 Cessna 172. While it's a noble endeavor, it feels like it's all just an advertisement to me.
