What ?!!?!? Your new Mooney doesn't have that ? :goofy:
As for me, the only time I've made a landing to an unlit field is when the PCL went out on me on very short final. To be honest, I can't find them without the lights unless it's a full moon. :yes:
Grant,
I'm looking at the same thing, except I'm not in the position to buy. I've been drooling over R182's for about 2 years. Based upon a Aviation Consumer article the post-1979 models have wet wings vs. fuel bladders.
Even that would be challenge. Those darn dashes at certain temps and settings. At what temperature would the setting be allowable ? I'll just go back to guessing (aka interpolation). The Lean Assist on the Cessna G1000s is really good.
Too bad one cannot interpolate between two tables in...
I'm not a big of the KLN89B because I "grew-up" on KLN94. Once you've gone to the KLN94 the 89B will not stay for long. The "proc" button alone is worth the upgrade. The ability to "monitor" non-GPS approaches is one of the biggest improvements to situational awareness over the 89B.
I got...
In the G1000 birds, the MP & RPM are single digit precision, so setting those can be as precise as I want to be. I know how to do the interpolation, I don't like the time it takes me to do it.
So I was thinking, get a computer to do the work for me.
We're all familar with cruise performace charts. I've always wanted to generate some custom charts based upon the POH's figures.
The Cessna's that I fly have performance tables that are at even altitudes from SL to 20,000' (even higher for the T206H) with 3 temperatures. For a given...
In the 172RG I used for my commercial we would drop the gear at pattern altitude, get stablized then normal traffic pattern procedures from there. The precision 180 power-off landings were no different. The gear would already be down, when I reached the target point. From there, it was just a...
I didn't know you couldn't see the whole plate. Ewww. That would be a deal breaker for me. I'm looking for something the same size as my Zuluworks kneeboard. I like to scribble so it's gotta be writable, Jeppesen compatible too. I don't mind having to "print" everything to PDFs, but they...
