While having some new equipment added to my Commander 114, I had the avionics shop paint the metal panels a light gray in a satin finish, they used a PPG automotive paint. While the job looks great, I'm not all that thrilled with the satin finish. Although it's not a high gloss, it is a bit...

Yesterday I filed an IFR flight plan via Garmin Pilot with a route of "direct". An hour before the scheduled departure I was sent an expected route by ATC via Garmin, which then fed into the Garmin Pilot app. When I started up and called clearance delivery I was given the clearance "cleared to...

Believe it or not I just got around to responding to this post. Here is a look at the EDM 700 readout. Let me also mention that this hasn't happened since that one time, but I'm always on the lookout.

Surely you must be joking.

I'll need to go to the airport and download it. Which parameters other than CHT would be useful?

I experienced this situation in my Mooney, IO360 A3B6D. While flying along the CHT on #1 suddenly jumped to 400 degrees and I felt a slight vibration. After adding mixture it went away and behaved normally for the rest of the flight. The engine has about 100 hours on it since the overhaul...

I recently bought a VIRB Ultra and had planned to record the radio and intercom through its built in Bluetooth capability. I'm able to pair the two but absolutely no sound is being recorded. Is there something that I may be overlooking in the setup of both?

Sure about this? Looking at the flight plan as depicted on Flightware, it appears the white dashed line would have had me flying direct to PHK, then cutting over to intercept the radial as I approached the 15 mile mark. What you programmed assumed that I was to fly the 315 radial the entire way...

I was given this flight plan yesterday from KSPG to my home base at KFXE. I've seen radial/distance fixes before but was never actually assigned one to fly and was puzzled how I would enter it into the GTN. In the end I was told to go direct to PHK, but if the flight plan wasn't modified, how...

Are there any quality rentals available in the area between Fort Lauderdale Executive to the east, North Perry to the west and Boca Raton? I've bee scouring the net and can only find very worn 172's from the Reagan era. I'm looking for a really clean, well equipped Archer or Arrow to rent while...

Does a holding pattern in lieu of a procedure turn count as a hold?

I have a GTN-750 along with a GDL-88 for my ADB-S solution. This past weekend I dropped my plane off for its annual at a shop located about 90 miles from my home drome. A friend followed me in his plane, which is also ADB-S compliant through his transponder. When I got back home I looked at...

I have a 750 installed and find the top two rows of data invaluable. For that reason alone I opted for a dedicated transponder.

What about joining V448 at ANGOO?

When I do that in the simulator, by adding YKM (the GTN needs to VOR's in order to load an airway) after GUBSE and then loading airway (V448), it's taking me up to YKM from GUBSE. The ATC instruction was to "join".

I'm relatively new to the GTN and was wondering the proper way to handle amendments. Let's say for example that I'm on a flight plan from KPSC with the routing SUNED, GUBSE, BTG direct KHIO. I'm between SUNED and GUBSE when ATC calls "Cessna 123X, I have an amendment to your flight plan...

Question regarding regulations. I recently flew the GPS 36 approach into KNEW and started down a bit prematurely once I hit the IF (GODRD). I misread the plate and started my decent after flying over GODRD and was around 2500 by the time I arrived at TOYBO, where the decent actually does start...

From what I remember from the article, the answer is that no teardown is required. If there is was no evidence of a prop strike then you can clean up the belly and fly off.

I'm surprised at the answers presented here. The only time that you would have a "reasonable" chance of stopping the prop so that it's horizontal is when you are over the numbers and slow, and then by hitting the key until it stops at the index that you need. Until that time it will most...

I visited Sedona last year by car and a few days before I arrived a Mooney went off the end of the runway. Thankfully nobody was hurt but the plane was destroyed. He landed during the very frequent shift in the wind and attempted to go around but sank, sank sank. There's a video of the incident...
