    Pre-buy inspection. Is it reasonable?

    WARNING!! I bought my aircraft with exactly this scenario. Perhaps my experience can be an warning to you? When I found my aircraft, I was told by the broker (i'll never buy another aircraft from him again) that the previous buyer backed out after his prebuy and that the owner had addressed all...

    Garmin 175/GI 106B CDI Install

    To your question, I agree with your strategy. I installed the GNC-355 (for the comm to replace 1840's technology) and am very happy with its capability GPS-wise. The comm OTOH came with a few issues that (hopefully) have been dealt with after a warranty replacement. Still though, I am using it...

    What are the lateral and vertical boundaries?

    an example of lower level english? The OP made no question regarding transponders and requirements thereof. he asked about the definition of "lateral and vertical limits". There is no reason on God's green earth (and the sky above its "horizontal limits") for regulations to be written in this...

    What are the lateral and vertical boundaries?

    Simple question which might explain the OP's original question: How old are you, @kicktireslightfires ? The statement in the regs that you are quoting is written in plain, yet higher level, english. If you are younger and/or not accustomed to reading the legalese that regulations (of any...

    GNC355 Weak Transmit

    The issue reappeared tonight! So, afterwards, I went into settings and set it to the known-good settings I sent you the pic of. We'll see if it holds. Unbelievable. I had to switch to my KX170b the volume was so bad through my mic. I have no idea what my SN was for the old unit (wouldn't that...
