Yes, it's a little pricey, but worth it

Thinking of: Hardware issues (e.g., screen damage, ambient light sensor errors, engine sensor faults, etc.) Software issues (e.g., OS crash, AHRS errors, NAV/COMM issues, etc.) My uneducated understanding (please help me learn if you have other perspective) is that typically when the G1000 is...

Am thinking of buying (for fun, family missions of ~300-500 miles for weekend getaways) - wondering if this matters? My thoughts: Glass: I prefer this as a pilot, but not thrilled about the maintenance costs Steam: Saves money, but not sure how much longer parts will be available (Cirrus or...

Was trying to define "flight" - didn't occur to me to look up definition of "cross country" (which i thought was only a characterization of distance). Ok, many thanks

Regarding the night flight requirement (61.129.a.3.iv): One 2-hour cross country flight in a single engine airplane in nighttime conditions that consists of a total straight-line distance of more than 100 nautical miles from the original point of departure My question is - does this require a...

Definitely look at Air Fleet Aviation (KCDW) again - I've done training at Certified Flyers (KMMU) and Air Fleet, and it's a total no-brainer for me - Air Fleet is much better on every dimension (nicer people, better hardware, larger fleet, etc.).

Yes - I'm told the G1000 was set to auto-dim the screens based on ambient lighting (e.g., dimmer when it's nighttime). This is a setting I was unaware of. Anyway, two malfunctions: The ambient light sensor incorrectly thought it was nighttime, and set the screens dark The level of dark it...

Hello I'm studying for the commercial written. Using Gleim. It's been years since i last took a written, so my old manual E6B is no where to be found. It looks like I need one for the commercial written exam. I'm 90% sure I'm never going to use it again once i get my commercial. Questions for...

I'm not 100% sure this is still accurate, but it's worked for me in the past - a good PDF to add to your ForeFlight documents (or however people like to access docs)

I might also worry about cell reception, unless you're at a low enough altitude

Update: Sportys evaluated my radio and agreed to send me a replacement radio - they are the best! They confirmed that even with just USB power alone (i.e., no batteries), the radio will have sufficient power to transmit.

KEWR on Sat morning, followed by Hudson River north tour...before a NORDO incident

Good learning experience today - will keep this post brief: Flying Hudson corridor north at 1500 with ATC In a C172SP with G1000 (rental) Right around the GWB (talking to La Guardia tower), MFD and PFD go dark - all avionics still functioning, but cannot see or control comms (or anything other...

One more: when you're getting VFR flight following, altitude is at your discretion, but at the same time you must advise ATC before you change altitude

Once assigned by ATC, you can't change your squawk code back to VFR unless explicitly told to do so - even if they cancel flight following / radar services.

Sold to @Sierra_Hotel ! Thank you

It was a gift - I just don't use it (not my thing)

@SoCal 182 Driver is still thinking about it. Watch is still for sale. I'll update the thread once sold.

Garmin D2 Air watch (new ~$499) - asking $350. Have worn it ~five times (maybe 2-3 days of use total). Here's a write-up from AVWeb. Here's a write-up from iPad Pilot News. Here's a write-up from Forbes. EDIT: I do not have any of the packaging, owners manual, box, wrapping, etc.. I do have an...

I did IFR at KMMU but now fly out of KCDW. Hit me up if you're looking for a recommendation for specific schools.
