Thank you, an excellent article that clearly demonstrates my concerns, unfortunately it does not only apply to larger aircraft. (The problem is that the bottom mounted 1090es adsb antenna does not work with the satellite system, you need the top mounted system) "The AOPA wrote in a letter...

For those that are thinking about buying the generally more expensive 1090es devices instead of the cheaper 978 devices, in case you might want to fly into Canada’s controlled airspace in the future, make sure you get a top mounted antenna (as well as a bottom antenna for the USA) From AVWeb...

This new Hotel that just opened today looks really really Cool. It is the Saarinen’s iconic TWA Flight Center, where restaurants, bars and retail outlets have taken flight. Two hotel wings, designed to reflect and defer to the landmark TWA Flight Center, sit behind the historic building and...

The reason I ask is I was playing around with FF during an approach, after I loaded the Garmin 430w, and wanted to compare what the Garmin 430W was giving me vs FF. When I decided to go vectors to finial on the Garmin and FF, Atc was vectoring me around for other traffic, basically 180 degrees...

Course Next or Bering Next on Foreflight Normally they give the same reading in Foreflight Definitions: Course Next- desired course to next way point Vs Bering Next- Bering to next waypoint Which one do you use and why?

It depends on where your priorities are, if you have the time and do not want to spend the money then Android tablet with FltPlan Go is what you should get. If you do not mind spending money on an easy to use quality product like ForeFlight that runs on a very stable platform, Apple, then spend...

I love the panhandle of Florida!

Parallel Track: Both the Garmin 430W (and I am assuming most other Garmin products) and ForeFlight allow one to easily offset the planned magenta line route. The Garmin feature allows you to offset your track from 1 to 99 NM from the track of the current flight plan. You can use it to avoid...

Not only do they operate with only 3 watts and transmit at 25 watts but it also produces 40 candelas of light intensity. From the skyBeacon install manuel UAV-1002305-001 2 Rev C 5.1 Physical Specifications: 14V Current 0.5A Max And Transmit Power at 44 dBm or (25 Watts) From one of their...

The skyBeacon uses .5 amps max about (5 watt power draw) with a 25 watt output.

To add to the controversy if you want to fly in Canada you might need “diversity,” I.e. both a top and a bottom transponder antenna, in addition to the adsb. Some people say that having just the bottom antenna might be good enough, and you might not need the top antenna, because it is almost...

There is an adjustment screw that is located behind the upper panel mounting screws. The LH side is for the VOR and the RH is for the Localizer (I think). Your avionics shop will have the special tool to make the adjustment. They will turn it like how you adjust your altimeter.

Better Yet, Buy a Presto 6 quart oil fryer and drain it using a quick release drain right into the fryer. Next day when u want to fly, heat it up (home or hanger) and add it to airplane before flight. Use a metal funnel. You can buy one for $34.95 at Bed Bath and Beyond or I can sell u an...

While flying to my destination airport in IMC, If I lost communications and I had to go missed at my original airport, the first thing I would do would check my alternate vs any other airport that had any better weather conditions (especially VFR weather conditions) within my fuel reserves and...

Maybe heat up the inside of the cabin? A few degrees can make all the difference

Remember to release the pressure after each use and not leave it under pressure for any extended period of time, (so I have been told).

I am probably reading too much in it but, I think Approach is the correct answer for me because the following reasons: 1) approach (ap·proach) is shorter, takes less radio time 2) because of the second definition of approach “speak to (someone) for the first time about something, typically...

Easy Install, very inexpensive, no plane downtime. It took my A&P 20 minutes for the install, then another 10 minutes to program it using my iPhone. It helps to have your registration info available to program it. You also have to have a 337 signed by AI to be legal and get your FAA rebate...

I personally like the “funny comments” interspersed between the good advice, it makes reading the thread much more interesting IMHO. It is kind of like watching the super bowl and then looking foreword to the funny commercials, in between the game play.
