Blackstone here too, but I agree with those above. A history of reports to see the trend over time is much more valuable than one data point.

According to the last answer that I had from Aspen (about 3 weeks ago) yes we will be able to, without requiring the Max upgrade.

That is sad to hear and I am sorry for your loss. I attended one of Guy's Cardinal seminars about 15 years ago, he was an incredible source of knowledge and as has been said, conservative and safety conscious. The notes from that course are still sitting next to me on the shelf in my office...

That’s what I thought too, but the lower cost upgrade was only available for those who purchased a new Pro1000 at the time. During the month of September, purchase an EFD1000 Pro PFD for the price of $7,995 ($3,000 off list price). This is the lowest price offered for the versatile, capable...

I don’t think it ever was, I was curious about that and went back to look. When they announced the Max the upgrade was going to cost “around 2k”, but it was nothing formal at that point.

Yes. The red x. My rationale is that for not much more I can install an SAI 340 which can operate in degraded mode instead. that would provide a fix for the issue and a redundant gyro too.

I’m in the same boat and went back and forth a few times on the decision. I eventually decided against it for a few reasons: The upgrade is not required for TruTrak integration There is not a significant functionality uplift If I am worried about the pitot blockage issue (which I am), there are...

I'm just going to leave this here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_independence and back away very slowly...

There was a Forbes article earlier in the week discussing the funding https://www.forbes.com/sites/bizcarson/2019/03/12/uber-for-planes-startup-blackbird-raises-10-million-to-replace-road-trips-with-flying-private/#137036272590 The paragraph that caught my eye was: I can't see how that would...

At your stage I'd leave it exactly as is, but replace the AT50 as part of an ADS-B upgrade. The AT50 isn't a great transponder, and you might as well swap it out when doing the upgrade. Personally I have a Stratus ESG, which is a bit cheaper than the GTX335, but they seem to go back and forth...

@gacoon, my understanding of the upgrade was the same as yours, but @Jamie Kirk noticed a line in the marketing material that I had missed. "This pricing reflects the display unit(s) upgrade only. We are pressing for certification without additional installation component requirements and will...

Is anyone considering the Pro Max upgrade? I just got the latest promotional flyer from them (I assume other owners got the same). The $2995 upgrade path, now seems to be only an introductory offer if you sign up and pay in full before they launch the upgrade. I just got the marketing flyer...

On a PA-28, I think the half that has the door would be best.

I do NYC through HPN regularly. I use Ross West, found them to be the most small GA friendly on the field. It's a 15-20 minute Uber to White Plains Metro North and then about 30 minutes into Grand Central, about 20 to 125th St which might be more convenient depending on how far Upper East you're...

Jepp doesn’t support updating the GNS480, GX50 and a few others on the Mac. https://support.jeppesen.com/product?pc=tools&pid=JDM_macOS

Just checked. Unfortunately the Mac version still doesn’t support the GNS480. https://support.jeppesen.com/product?pc=tools&pid=JDM_macOS

There isn’t a trainer for a Mac, there is an exceptionally pedestrian YouTube video walkthrough of all the functions though, and I highly recommend the pilots guide, which I think is the one @AggieMike88 mentioned above. The PC trainer is still available to download if you can find somewhere to...

I have always taken the approach of the 6 monthly IPC. As @midlifeflyer suggested, it is a good opportunity to try out new items, fail different instruments (especially interesting as my plane becomes increasingly technical), and make sure one is broadly current, rather than just able to fly the...

Yes, i did... Thanks!

Yes, on 978UAT only, not on the 1080 standard.
