Depends if you're going IFR. In my experience it doesn't really matter what you file, you always end up going to the West around LAAYK or V1 over the top of JFK at 6000 / 7000 ft. For me, even when I've been given a different routing on departure, there's a point somewhere around Atlantic City...

For me, it turned out to be the injector pump, in one way or another. First thought was a leaking center body seal, but they tested for that and no joy. Finally, since we've changed out every other part over the past few years we installed an overhauled injector pump. That fixed the issue. The...

I've been trying to interpret the news articles. Does anyone know if this is this a software fix that will be applied to older models, or is it something that will require an upgrade to the Pro Max?

They will not. This is on their website. Will my current Stratus get updated with the GDL 90 protocol (Open ADS-B Mode)? No, we’re in a partnership agreement that doesn’t allow us to update the firmware for previous Stratus models to include Open ADS-B Mode. I read this as "we could, but we're...

I just looked a bit closer at this, it's not actually a $200 price reduction. The list price is still the same, they are just offering $200 off as introductory pricing.

@azure I've been having a similar problem recently. Turned out that occasionally the pump was not running, or not running long enough. It was intermittent at the start, and then a total failure. When we opened the motor up one of the brushes was completely worn, so it was making occasional...

I think there's an entry on the admin page of the stratux to put your mode-S code, so that it can filter out your own return. Of course if you don't have Mode S, that doesn't help much. I had the same issue, it keeps you on your toes!

What profession are they in?

A combination of the amazon basics (28 cents each) and some small 4 AA holders is my current preferred approach. I have had Duracell and Energizer in the headsets before and not noticed any difference in battery life...

The mixture setting was adjusted last year, as it was running a little rich. Mag timing was done at the same time. My Dukes fuel pump failed earlier this year, and I'm wondering whether some debris may have moved downstream into the spider or injectors. Run up is smooth and good if I lean the...

Just started happening. Engine is 900 since overhaul, mags are 300 since new. I've owned the plane for 4 years now, not noticed anything like this before. Thanks for the update, every bit of info is useful when troubleshooting! It is interesting that you still have the symptoms.

@azure did you ever find out the root cause of this? I'm experiencing some very similar (actually identical) symptoms on my RG, the only difference being that I'm still on the dual mags.

You can also have it automatically suggest logbook entries in the future, that's the way I'm keeping my logs running at this point. Oddly and annoyingly though, it doesn't pull through start and end times.

+1 for the three strikes during pre-flight/pre-takeoff rule.

I have an old cellular Mini 2 that I'm using with the default "Apple SIM card", it isn't linked to a data plan. Aside from complaints every time I power up about an "Invalid SIM", it works today. However, I needed to use a Verizon SIM to initially setup and activate the device, it wouldn't do...

I've had the P1000 in two planes (I put it into both) and love it. The mag drop read out on run-up is really useful, as are some of the other visual indications. Reading the tach hours is a bit fiddly, but i only do that once per flight anyway

Good question. I just looked and it's listed as "Additional Optional Equipment" in mine (76 Cardinal).

+1 for Ross West at KHPN. $20 overnight parking, AvGas is about the same as the other outlets on the field and ramp fees ($40) are waived with 7 gals or more of fuel. That's my goto heading into the city.

Hmm. Yes because if I had noticed that I would be really annoyed by my $800 purchase of a 2S three months ago. :(. Annoyingly I have had a stratux since the early days of the project and only bought the 2S for ForeFlight AHRS. It will be interesting to see what Stratus does now. When I asked...
