Along with my normal logs, I have a folder of all the 337's and STCs ever installed on my aircraft. Some have since been removed, but the 337's and STC paperwork still exists in the folder. Is there any point in keeping those STC documents as some of them are bulky? (IIMorrow Loran, DME...

While I personally dislike the guy, it appears that he was not messing around and he was instructed to pull the trigger in his role. Knowing his stance on guns and such, I bet he is pretty distraught.

I originally was not going to mention this, but have changed my mind. Remember that when the aircraft first got to Chattanooga the hydro-pack failed and it took 3 months for it to be 'repaired'? I had to have it repaired again during a recent annual because it was really slow. The new A&P that...

No. There has been no authorized radio repairs since the WAAS upgrade in 2007. If I remember it correctly, the GNS480 was originally from another company (II Morrow) that Garmin acquired. Different lineage. Tony T.

Let me re-ask better. Where can I verify that my past flight was actually sending out valid ADS-B? (Yes, we are having some issues and want to check things.)

How does someone "look at the ADS-B"?

I want to remind Chip, and others, that the aircraft was in a locked hanger except when in the shop. No overnight cross-countries during this whole time. My home shop always has the aircraft inside, even during extended down times such as fuel tank issues. The shop currently resolving the engine...

A small update. I went out to the plane today and compared all the config screen pics from 2008 after the WAAS and Mode-S updates. I now know that this radio has been in an aircraft with ADSB-in installed via the serial ports. (Main RS232 Config shows Chnl 1 as "ADSB TFC WX" on both in and out.)...

As I said, things were not done right. The original contract was 2 years and then I would be returning his small investment and re-obtaining full ownership. Which happened. So the 4 years would have only been 2 if the Xerion engine monitor did not fail at the worse time, just before returning...

Overnight, I got to thinking. I always thought that it was strange that it took 3 months to get the hydo-pack fixed. I wonder if that shop used my radio for a WAAS upgrade to shorten the time, then had his upgraded and put his in my aircraft when it came back. But messed up the setup. That shop...

Well, at least it was only an 'incident'. :)

Long, long, story. Many things should have been done differently: In January of 2017, I was going though some financial issues due to having to move for a new job and having two house payments. I took on good friend (we worked for same company) as a minor partner for my aircraft. Let's call him...

Thanks. I will try that asap. Tony T.

I just had a 52R installed. I have Garmin Pilot running on Android. It appears that it pairs, but I can't connect. The installer can connect using an iPad or an iPhone. The installer does not have any experience with Android. Before I start a support issue with Garmin, I thought I would ask here...

There are really two issues here. The first, which is a legal issue that could differ depending on the state, has to do with "who is PIC in the car". We don't know the exact state so we can't truly answer the question. The second is blowing an 0.19 in public. That is just bad, and also dumb...

I really did not think a smiley was required. I thought it was obvious that some of my items were tongue-in-cheek.;) For example: Last time I had a +10 landing is the last time I flew without anyone around to see my "great" landing. Just like the big fish that got away when nobody else saw it...

Date of last +10 landing. Date of last loan payment where you will own the A/C outright. Date of last time you forgot to close your flight plan. And for those with a busy life: Date of last flight. Date of last run-up to heat up oil because you have not flown since the last item.

I use one of these: https://www.sherline.com/product/sherline-trailer-tongue-weight-scale/ I place it on a floor jack and lift the tongue. As a side note, I sometimes place it on a floor jack and jack up each axle at the spring plate to get a per wheel weight if I am worried. Tony T.

I just got a text from Bose and the trade in is still available.

My brother recently closed out a corporate flight department and found two Bose X headsets in working, but rough condition, which he gave to me. While a google search easily finds the Bose X trade-in web page (at boseaviation.com), I though it was terminated. And, I can't find it when I go to...
