You need to add a ltx_glov 2x multiplier to the airline delay to account for the extra annoyance of getting the laytex glove treatment by TSA. It's worth a lot for me to avoid that ********.

That was my reaction too. I had an Apollo GX60 coupled with an MX20 before and the difference between that and the GTN 750 was huge in terms of readability, intuitiveness, usability, customization, and speed of use. How have you found it to work in turbulence? My experience has been that...

Even if it worked and was cheap as dirt to produce and made ice adhesion impossible and would eliminate all icing deaths, the FAA wouldn't let you have it until it was run through their archaic STC testing process. That would ensure that it was cost prohibitive and no one used it. The FAA is...

Agree. I had the XGPS 150 several years ago. To get FF to really deliver 80% of its value you gotta have a GPS. The next 19% of its value is in receiving ADS-B weather and traffic*. A final 1% of its value comes from synthetic vision with an AHRS. To get this last 20% requires something...

No kidding! That looks like OVC000.06!

I have The Claw setup also. Amazingly tenacious on dirt tie-downs. If I'm heading to a paved airport with tie-down rings then I just leave the metals claws and stakes at home and just take the three tie-down ropes. They use the 'good kind' of rope with the right amount of friction to make...

The 'chute is for any situation in which the pilot thinks he needs it. Inside vs outside of the pilot's control is moot once the engine quits. And fuel mismanagement happens to pilots without chutes too - often. No one claimed that 'chuted TAAs prevent a pilot from screwing up. But what they...

I mean one man's dent is another man's divot. But it does deal tangentially with this question in that it purports to make it easier to get modifications approved.

Probably true as 64 GB is still quite a bit. I have FF and WingX and they together are under 10 GB I believe. But don't kid yourself - even if you don't put tons of movies on it, it's an investment so you'll find ways to use the iPad for a lot more than aviation. I bought my iPad for the same...

Cell version 100% as it's the only one that has a GPS built in. Without that, you will be required to spend pretty much that same amount getting an external GPS anyway (which you'll probably end up doing anyway - full disclosure).

That should buff out. :eek:

You're living in fantasy land. I'd love to be able to do anything I want to my airplane. But where is there any realistic proposal on the horizon to allow that? It's like libertarianism. Yeah I might agree with a lot of it in theory but it ain't gonna happen.

From what I see, the changes would not change your type certification (nor your certification category) retroactively, but would make it easier to get amended TCs and STCs by applying performance- and risk-based standards and by reducing the scrutiny on non-required systems. This would affect...

I use the iPad Air 2, using the RAM yoke mount, but flipped upside down so the button is at the top. It doesn't block as much panel that way. It only covers up the carb temp pretty much. I use my iPad for approach plates so I want it front and center.

I view it as pointing out an accident that is increasingly probable. It is easy to say that it's blown out of all proportion now because so far an airliner hasn't connected with a drone in flight. But wait until an airliner hits a drone. At that point, whether the accident causes injury or...

Thanks for removing all doubt that you are a badass pilot who has **** to DO!

Oooh way to pre-end the debate. QED, right? Except "those dangerous small airplanes" have in fact hit houses and schools and cars on roads and all manner of other ****.

I landed 10 once long long ago with an instructor. I wonder if they still have to go through all that stuff for 10 landings since they displaced the threshold. I runup in the row sometimes. Sometimes I taxi down to the end near taxilane C so that anyone taxiing in at that end would see me and...

It is descriptive of the *by far* biggest and most important part of the book. Do you want the title to be a table of contents? "Chart supplement" almost sounds like it has something to do with charts, like a legend or an AC or something, but mostly it doesn't. In the end, I will use FF and...

KNONE I'm neither inclined nor opposed. I just haven't had a reason... yet.
