    Personal x-wind minimums, & how often do you divert?

    I live in Montréal, and it can get really windy sometimes. That was a great concern to me, so I wanted to test it before starting my PPL. The day of my discovery flight, wind was around 10-12knots with gusts of 18-20. Not really high, but enough to make that C152 shake. The guy handled me the...

    Taylorcraft down California

    Sorry, forgot about that. Just edited the OP. The only news that we haven't heard about is the confirmation that FAA will revoke his PPC/PPL

    Unknown Avionics

    Not exactly the same layout, but the manual of C210A can give you some idea: https://support.cessna.com/docs/custsupt/cessnasupport/IPCFiles/P255-12.pdf Page 138 on the pdf, and 100 of the hardcopy manual

    Paint My Plane in Mexico

    I'm wondering if flying the plane there (and back) will be that much cheaper than paint it in the US

    Hi guys, what's this?

    Smart and simple, as it should be.

    Hi guys, what's this?

    Thanks, had no idea about it. My first thought was some kind of old Airspeed measurement instrument.

    Let's build a panel

    Well, you can always add backup gauges there in case you went full glass on the left side. A map box can be an option too, even if we're not using maps anymore

    Let's build a panel

    Wow, had no idea about engine monitors being that labor intensive. But it makes sense now that I think about it.

    Let's build a panel

    Yup, I mentioned it. Is for hardware only. With install costs, you're basically buying another plane. So Youtuber's are either rich or getting insane rebates. Many are doing it recently.

    No airways

    Is a Forest zone, both National and State, so that may be a reason. As for Airways, you'll have Jamestown County and Bradford Regional. I get your point there

    Let's build a panel

    Yup, I'm actually with you and @WDD on this. I'll only update the vacuum system instrument (dual G5's or uAvionics AV-30) and I'll love to have an engine monitor screen. I'm still not decided on my "forever" plane, but the finalists are: Beech Sierra C24R And the Mooney 20J Both panels are...

    So, how often do you yell/curse to your plane?

    Any particular memory of a plane/flight that made you lose your ****e?

    Let's build a panel

    I'm not, just wanted to do a group exercise. I'm with you, is ridiculously high for the plane and we're still missing installation costs.

    Let's build a panel

    Great panel there. The only thing I don't love (But I can live with that) is the CO detector as an sticker and not as an instrument or handheld device. The yellow dot can be easily contaminated.

    Let's build a panel

    So, Light IFR looks like this. The Price you see to the right is just the hardware. Off course we're missing switches, breakers, remotely installed stuff and installation costs among other things. Hard VFR, like this: Sorry @Brad W I couldn't find an ADF. @Albany Tom Just a random location...

    Let's build a panel

    I'm using a panel design portal called hangarflying.com and unfortunately the splitview option is not available. You just search for an specific item and then drag and drop it on the panel template

    Let's build a panel

    Looks like this. Let's call it a "Light IFR" panel. I've added an Uavionix AV-30 as a non Garmin backup, awaiting confirmation from someone if it will "talk" with the GFC500.
