    Best glide with gear down

    I would pull the prop to extend a glide. It's surprising how much drag that windmilling prop produces.

    Landing a 182

    I found the sight picture is different between the 172 & 182. I can land the 206 as smooth as glass, but the 182 I still thunk it down. I don't flare with flair as I should. ;-) Keeping the nose up is a must. Lately, I end up too high on final and never get completely stablised. The secret...

    New Bendix - King Boxes

    I agree about the 480. I'm sure it survived the merger to get a WAAS box in the marketplace. I hope that the 430/530-series continue to adopt the best of the 480 in terms of features. I thought that GMX200 RADAR version had a whole list of compatible units not just Garmin's.

    Throw away your paper charts...

    Simple to grab them, not so simple to make sure all of them are up to date between cycles unless you're doing Jeppesen.

    Throw away your paper charts...

    The people at eFlyBook say: "eFlyBooks have low power consumption and are usable for days on a single charge." I started to look at this solution. The tablet can display any PDF and gives you a surface to write on them. I was thinking I could print my JeppView's routepack with strip charts...

    New Bendix - King Boxes

    I am looking forward to that software update trickling down to the current G1000 fleet. One of the guys at the FBO said the new Cessna G1000s already have the update. I have no way of verifying, unless I win the powerball. :-)

    Throw away your paper charts...

    I've always wanted to be paperless. I like the eFlybook, but I'm a Jeppesen guy.
