    GTX345: Review (Install + First Impressions)

    I've had two GTX345 units for the past couple of years now...what is the "Leaving Altitude feature"? I was unaware it did more than I already have it doing! lol

    JWN (John Tune) to add Control Tower

    Who operates the tower at MQY? Same people maybe...? Either that or BNA may just pay for the controllers directly since they are all one big happy family...lol.

    Flew a T-6 "mixed-reality" simulator, then crashed the T-38 version

    This is exactly what I need at home!

    DTOPS DECAL-huge delay. Is confirmation good enough to go to Canada ?

    I believe if you have the receipt you are good, but don't quote me on that. I ordered mine the first week of January, and just received it like 2 weeks ago. Most of the folks I've heard from that say the receipt is good are heading to the Bahamas, so things may be a little different there.

    If you have access, a small town bank is worth its weight in gold for this. Talk to them.

    Aerovonics just released the AV30E

    Whoa...UPDATE! "The philosophy for the AV-30 (when configured as a DG) is to replace the vacuum driven DG with an electrical equivalent. It was not initially intended to replace an HSI, which is an integral part of a flight control system and has multiple interface requirements. The AV-30...

    Garmin just dropped a bomb on the avionics market...

    Up until 2 years ago when I had my first panel done, I was still flying the NDB approach to get into my home base of KBGF. I didn't have GPS approach capability, so the NDB was all I had. They still exist out there...

    Anyone messed themselves in annual?

    Also important to remember that maintenance doesn't take place once a year. Many folks buy an airplane and think once they pass the annual inspection that they are free for the rest of that year. It's rare that a month goes by and I haven't done something on the airplane, even if it's just a...

    Dallas area pilots - Check your planes

    Whoever owns that Saratoga is obviously living right. Looks like it came through unscathed in that hangar!

    DCS F-14 Sim Release Date - Mar 13!

    I haven't seen any F-14 simpits yet, but certainly folks are doing incredible things with the A-10 and F-18. My DREAM would be to have a two crew simpit to play with this software!

    DCS F-14 Sim Release Date - Mar 13!

    From what I've seen, you can do either or. If you have a partner, they can be your RIO. If not, I believe there is a somewhat automated RIO, but that you still issue them some commands.

    Anyone used Aircraftmagnetoservice.com?

    Damn, all four at once? I'm trying to space things on mine out. I'm amazed at how many of the individuals parts you can order on your own from Spruce though. Got a new set of contacts for one on my right engine that needed servicing. Taken apart, the mags are way more simple than I thought.

    FAA ADS-B rebate - NA for multi?

    Well damn, didn't even know that! Oh well. I didn't have heartburn over the whole thing since I wanted what I wanted anyhow. Had just forgotten about it. Seems like I knew way more about it when I looked into it the first time around.

    FAA ADS-B rebate - NA for multi?

    Yup...totally forgot about it until I went to pick the Seneca up this past year. At least I got to take advantage of it on the Lance. Oh well.
