I have Garmin GDL50 I bought last fall. The usb charging port broke and came out with the cable when my IA unplugged it to get under the panel last month. I previously had a Stratus 2 that after a year or so of use the port loosened and would sometimes not charge. Bought it used so decided to...

Why not a GTR-200? I was going to put a 225 in but my IA said there is no TSO requirement just that the radio meets FCC certs, so we put in the 200.

Buddy has a garmin 430 that the squelch button doesnt have a tactile response, its stuck open. Garmin wants 2k to fix. Anyone else can do this repair?

Was curious, can lycoming roller lifters be removed through the pushrod tube opening like a io-520 or does the case still need to be split?

Correct, the card likely cannot be blank, didn't try it, but I found the box will load as long as there is a system.txt file on the SD card, which the file itself can be blank. Using a legacy SD card 2gb or smaller, download the navdata from Jeppsen and the safetaxi/flitecharts if applicable...

If anyone searches in the future for a lost or replacement gmx200 navdata card, it just has to be a legacy SD card under 2gb, can't be larger then 2gb or a SDHC card. It has to have a system.cfg file, can be blank with navdata downloaded and installed to it from jeppesen and data from garmin if...

Goofed up when updating my gmx200 data, lost the card. Does Garmin still make a replacement or is there a stock file I can copy onto another SD card out there?

Just over 10 hours on it now, cut the filter still no metal yet. Are the roller lifters it has a lot better for protecting against cam wear? It’s been hangered in a heated hangar since it stopped flying so maybe they helped to save it.

The engine number ends in -27E, is that the one you are referring to? This is my first lycoming my other planes are all Contis where can I find more info on these lifters and how they work (differently?) and I am assuming it is better for longevity?

Alaskan Arctic. About 60 miles inland Put a few hours on and then cut the filter, nothing to be seen yet. Will try again in 5 more hours. Was factory new in 2013 looking at the build sheet it just lists the factory lifter #

Bought a flight school 172, motor is 300snew installed in 2013, but sat for a few years, ground run in annual but no more time then that. Pulled valve covers some rust on springs but nothing crazy, I scoped acc case gears after I got the mags off, light surface but no pitting. My IA said run...

I prefer to drag it in under power, chop the power once the tail hits, the mains drop almost immediately. Probably doesn't look pretty but sure stops quicker. First CFI said come in on mains first tail low for short field, second CFI taught me full stall with tail hitting first followed...

I mainly fly a 170, I found my shortest landings are nose high tail touching just before the wings stall and drops the mains. I’ve heard it both ways, it’s harder on the tail, but I am not dragging it in any distance on the tail just plopping it in as (un)gracefully as spring gear will let ya...

Landing tail low vs tail first? I get mixed messages, first cfi I flew with said no to both. Second one I flew with more said as long as I don’t hit the tail too hard it’ll be ok.

Wouldn't the pressure drop or change when its turned on? Replacing all the hoses tomorrow, they are about 10 years old. Ordered a new regulator. This one looks simple to clean but they were surprisingly cheap.

I have a wet vac pump with about 200 hours on it driving a AI and wing leveler. Noticing less pressure, 4” vs it’s usual 5”, no change over 50 hours. Pressure doesn’t fluctuate, my IA adjusted the regulator but there was no change up, would a bad regulator cause that?

If you call a broker they’ll tell you that you need them. Do research on the plane, when you find one buy it’s records online from Aerospace reports or whoever, give them to your IA or whoever will be doing annuals. It is much cheaper in the long run to fully understand the systems and...

SOLD New in the box IFD 540 with keyboard, tray etc. decided to go another route and is not needed. Purchased 5/2020, 9k obo

Yea, was hoping to give it a go but 85gb is pretty much my data cap for a month.
