Actually the rule is no smoking 8 hours prior to flight and no alcohol within 50' of the aircraft.

You might try attaching a RAM mount to the blank panel under your radios which is what I did. In your case it's probably going to block your bottom radio a bit, but might offer a better solution.

Yep, fixed it

I just had two GI-275s installed. The installer initially didn't install the latest software, but then did so when I brought it back. As a result I got to play with both the older and latest software. The 2.32 does indeed put the HDG/GPSS button on the top selection, so once the menu is...

The battery mounting is pretty simple. I took a thick metal ruler and drilled two holes on one end where the studs are for the Rock steady mount. On the other end I made a 90° bend where the end of the battery goes and cut the excess off. A hole was drilled in this end for the stud on the end...

Just click on the blue text and it takes you to the Amazon link.

I like to mount the Hero out on the strut as it just provides better video than mounting it inside. The disadvantage to doing this is you can't change the battery mid-flight, so it limits your recording time as typically you only get about 90 minutes of recording time depending on how you have...

If you cross DLL outbound on the 007 radial with a needle on scale, then yes you are 'established on the Approach'. The Pilot/Controller glossary defines the Initial Approach segment as "between the initial approach fix and the intermediate fix or the point where the aircraft is established on...

Technically speaking north would be 270 CW 090, but I'm not sure how adding that level of detail would make it less confusing to someone who was confused by it to begin with. Agreed.

So "quasi" means "not". Really? I'm afraid this is going a bit farther down the rabbit hole than I care to go.

Which is why I wouldn't mind seeing it....as a spectator. YMMV.

I suppose I could copy and paste what Webster has to say about "quasi" but it would seem a bit pedantic. Sure, some IAPs have holds as part of the initial approach segment. This isn't one of those.

I'm not going to consider myself established on an IAP unless I'm first established on a segment of the approach. To me that means actually on a published segment and a needle on scale. If I approach Dells from the SE and do a teardrop entry into this "template" I have never been established...

When did I say it wasn't legal? Specifically I asked the question is it legal and stated I wouldn't have a good explanation as to why it was. If you think it's legal, more power to you. Not sayin' you're wrong. I'm saying I don't walk such fine lines. I very much like this discussion, but I...

OK, so if you enter on a teardrop or direct, at what point are you established outbound? If the answer is you aren't and won't be, and I'm pretty sure that is the correct answer, then are you 100% sure this is legal? I'm not so sure, but personally I like to err on the side of caution as I...

I'm not sure what doesn't make sense about it. To me it just says no PT if you're approaching Dells from the north. For instance if you are approaching Dells on the 007 radial, there would be no need for a PT as you'd already be on the approach course. The 284 and 094 radials cover two victor...

Yep. Assuming you want to try again the same approach you went missed from. Personally I'd need a pretty good reason to try the same approach I'd just went missed from. Better pilots than me have died trying that. Trying to intercept the final approach course from a one minute hold at the...

Your question sounds a bit loaded. I wasn't talking about flying the procedure turn as depicted on the plate. I was referring to flying the depicted missed approach hold as the course reversal. I described in great detail above why I thought so. I also described why I thought it was a bad...

That's true, but in the case in question the chart only says no PT if you are approaching Dells from the north.
