I read it briefly in this post: https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/rnp-in-ga.110742/#post-2515073 , turns out the poster was mistaken and was mistaking RNP AR for RNP as you say.

That's too bad. There are several runways at the main airport here that only have RNP AR approaches. I never really looked into the requirements much until now, because my previous airplane had nothing but a single VOR reciever, but even in the new plane, since they were not in my GNC-355...

Experimental Taildragger in Alaska (New Carbon Cub). Quote earlier this year was $33k/year premium for $350k hull coverage. I had 17 hours in type and 70 hours tailwheel and (low 5 figures total time in planes they don't care about). No accidents/claims/violations. Quote 4 months later is...

Just so we're on the same page, I never selected VTaF on the GNC-355 in the original scenario. I "loaded" the approach, then went to the "flight plan" page and selected the FAF, and hit Direct, direct activate, resulting in the SUSP. In the simulator this will result in a suspension unless the...

I've been working on an overview of the airplane for a few days, just got it finished (and learning new video software). First 7:30 is just a cursory walkaround, last 4:00 is some flying. Keep in mind I'm not that good at flying it and there is about a 10 mph quartering headwind. I think the...

I tried that RNAV GPA-A again last night, except this time on an IFR flight plan and this time I got a vector to the intermediate approach segment between the IF and the FAF. I just activated the leg to the FAF, and the GNC-355 intercepted the leg using the approach mode. Again no Vertical...

Ok, I think I figured it out. The problem was I was going direct to the FAF, RICKR ("inside") with too steep of an intercept angle to the final approach course? Apparently it doesn't want to allow sequencing automatically unless you wait until the turn results in less than a 45 degree...

Thanks! Is there anyplace they publish this information for the GNC-355? I could not find it in the pilot's guide or installation manual. I have no idea why the devices present the magent "SUSP" annunciation when I leave the missed approach of the prior approach and go direct to FAF on the...

The GNC-355 gives a pop-up prompt to "Activate Missed Approach" or "remain suspended" when reaching the MAP. I selected "activate missed approach" passing the MAP as I was flying the ATC assigned missed approach. As I understand it, this selection termintaes the suspension. The subsequent...

Previous approach was the RNAV GPS 07L at PANC and the missed approach is straight ahead to 800 then climbing right turn to 3000 direct JUKEP and hold. ATC issued missed was right turn heading 210 maintain 2500, which I flew using HDG and IAS modes passing the MAP. I ran my scenario through the...

I loaded the approach by selecting "procedure", typed in PAMR, then from the list if procedures selected RNAV GPS-A, and chose YOHOE transition. The approach staring at YOHOE then appeared on the flight plan page, after the missed approach from the previous approach, which I was still flying...

I did 5 RNAV GPS approaches last night in my new airplane that has a G3X/GDU-465/GNC-355/G5/GMC-305 setup. They all worked great except for the very last one, which was also the only circling approach. On that one, I got cleared to the FAF on an RNAV GPS-A and the approach mode on the...

They probably won't ask for it at customs, unless you get ramp checked by transport Canada. In fact, they didnt even send a customs officer to meet me in Kelowna where i entered Canada, nor did they ask about insurance on any of the online apps/forms or multiple phone conversations. If you are...

I know most of these have already been hit upon, but to reiterate: The biggest difference operationally, for me, flying VFR through Canada are the "mandatory frequencies" used by the on-field Flight Service Stations, addressed as "Kamloops radio", "Ft. St. John radio", "Ft. Nelson radio", etc...

Looks like a reflection from the landing gear or some other part of the airplane, maybe a reflection from the water below; window was closed. Here's another angle:

The Gorge was no problem. Very scenic. Sure, very windy at the Dalles and turbulent in spots, but highly scenic and overall enjoyable flying even if I was mostly just boring holes in the sky to complete engine break-in. The John Day river canyons were pretty fun at 120 mph (although a few...

You can start the descent once you cross the holding fix and descend during the entry once cleared to descend by ATC and/or cleared for the approach. A correctly flown entry will keep you in the protected airspace of the hold. Reference PANS-OPS (Doc 8168-OPS/611) Vol 1 (Flight Procedures)...

Even a lightly loaded 747 with a few hours worth of fuel can liftoff with a 1500 foot ground roll, at least in the sim. You can't use part 25 performance criteria to do it though, you simply use a Cessna style short/soft field technique and rotate into ground effect. You're probably going to...

Sweet summer children.....

He got violated about 4 years go for water skiing in his kitfox with a passenger on lake Tahoe. FAA violated him on 91.13 careless/reckless (because he had a passenger) and 91.119(a), alleging that he somehow would've caused undue hazard to persons or property on the ground if his power unit...
