Will it work? - yes, YMMY depending on the software version and settings Are those combos seen in certified aircrafts in bright daylight? - yes Are the owners happy with the performance? - usually yes Is it legal? - at least very doubtful. In my opinion the answer is as of today a resounding no...

Yes, there is an Avidyne STC, amd yes, it includes a garden variety of several third party a/p and EFIS systems. Feel free to direct me to the relevant page that includes the GFC500 and / or the G3X.

For those, who claim that Avidydne IFD navigators can be legally paired in a certified aircraft with the Garmin GFC500 A/P or the Garmin G3X EFIS, please explain your path. Nor the GFC500 neither the G3X are currently included in the Avidyne IM...

Dynon is way less expensive, easier to install and probably the better system. The problem here is the a/p. Dynon A/P certification process is a mess. 206 seems not even to be on their list. The PA28 community is waiting for five years now. Trio and Aerocruz do not cover 206‘s as well, so the...

Victor Aviation, Palo Alto

For a first opinion based on the logs, this might be worth to be considered https://www.savvyaviation.com/buyers-assistance/

Here is a pic showing the yoke with the medallion removed. Shoukd give you an idea where to pry it off with a small screwdriver. https://www.texasairsalvage.com/main_view.php?editid1=186254

There is a lightning issue with the first pic. It becomes obvious on the Airtex webisde where there is a pic from a different angle clearly showing that the both armrests have the same colour. I would ask them for a sample of their sand carpet. Based on the pics there should not be a big...

A job for a hangar elf or AC23-27 and perhaps even 14 CFR 21.9 https://www.dbelectrical.com/products/tilt-trim-motor-bmw-mercruiser-volvo-penta-6217-pt440.html

I am not sure if I would trust this mechanic. Ordering a new pump without knowing what is wrong with your current unit? I would ask some questions. This article might be helpful to get a better understanding of the pump and the repair and overhaul options...

The big mills like ATP (or Aviator College) are usually not a good choice for those who wish to fly just for fun. I highly recommend to look for a flight school where the instructors are a little more seasoned. The bigger the school, the bigger the likelihood to end up with a low-time...

preferably with less than 7,000 h TT and in annual. Poor paint, interior or avionics are ok, but complete logs are a must. A/C should pass Piper SL 1327F (no cracks in the doublers of the wing walk skins). Cash on hand, no spousal approval required.

There is only little mystery with the Petersen Autofuel STC. The AA5 airframe is on the list, the AA1 is not. The big caveat here: the fuel must be ethanol free. So you cannot pump whatever you get at the next street corner for 2.99$/gal. And from time to time there are airports that do not...

There must be a reason if even Mike Bush mentions her in his article https://www.savvyaviation.com/spark-plug-wars/

At least some damaged ruddervators qualify for repairs http://www.srsaviation.com/

I am pretty sure that we will see an updated version of AD 2020-26-16 in the near future. Based on numerous log book reviews I am under the impression that a lot of owners and A&Ps do not have a full understanding when the eddy current inspection is necessary. Piper SB 1372 will be some sort of...

It is not moving under its own power

For guidance see 14 CFR § 91.409 (a) 14 CFR § 1.1 Definition „ Operate“ The purpose here is not air navigation or piloting, so the FAA would not my concern. But to avoid any kind of discussions, why not just towing the a/c to the shop?

The lack of knowledge of some mechanics is astonishing. Charging north of 14k even for pretty basic paint schemes, unaware of the need to balance control surfaces and even unable to make a proper log book entry. If you are using 8 gallons or more of primer and paint during the process you will...

Astonishing how many congregations without any real missionary business in remote areas own airplanes.
