I think you'd want to talk about how it performs in specific scenarios since the attitude sensing works, at least partially, by integrating the rate gyro and accelerometer signals - which will make the accuracy time variant. The ADC items- airspeed, altitude, are a lot easier since they can...

Thanks for sharing that video. It's good they showed the guidance differences. It's probably secondary to what they wanted to show, but you wouldn't pick the approach based on your GPS, you'd pick your approach on your ability to fly the required climb gradient to fly the missed. So I guess...

The AIM has some good discussion on LP vs LPV. I’m on the tail end of instrument checkride prep and wish I’d just read the AIM more in some cases vs other secondary sources. And the price is right.

Did the article also happen to reiterate that the lateral guidance functions differently between the two? Fixed lateral guidance vs angular guidance?

The training grows in complexity with the avionics in the aircraft...

And since the OP specified instrument rating, it sounds like we are in agreement.

Your plan is basically correct, but my understanding is that the TSA approval is paired to the flight instruction provider. i.e., before you can receive instruction in the US, they'll have to do the TSA dance. It may be very expedient, but they can't skip it just because you've done it...

I'm an Iowan transplanted to Michigan. The trip basically seems to require an instrument rating, and even then, it's still tornado alley, so the instrument rating should only give you additional training to say "nope!". It doesn't help at all that the commercial market in the state is...

I just realized I come to this website to hide from my job in the automotive industry....and yeah *laugh* Very Recently (end of April) got an Avis something mid-size SUV in Denver. They upgraded, or offered upgrade choices between some Nissan (yay Fleet sales!) sedans and a Dodge Durango. The...

I was fast often in the 7kcab I did my tailwheel in. It went a lot better when I paid attention to profile. I know I also had trouble with the shape of the cowling and sight picture that made me feel like the nose was down. You are describing (" I have to give it more throttle to stop my...

https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/education/michigan-species/reptiles/massasauga- unusual to run across. I keep hoping but so far no sightings. Two Hearted may be a fun camping choice also- https://theraf.org/featured-airstrip-two-hearted-mi/ If I had a float plane, I'd be tempted to pop up to...

Crossfill is a setting that can be turned on and off- have a look at the online PDF of the Pilot Guide

If you have an intercom system sitting in front of your radios, and you have an adjustable squelch on the intercom, this is what it’s designed to accommodate. The squelch level could be adjusted lower for the headsets you had the issues with, and it would open the circuit to send the signal to...

think back to your solo cross countries - what problems did you have? On mine, I hadn't checked weather at my destination and when I got there, the winds were above our solo student limits, so I had to divert. Totally lack of planning, and while I'm sure the CFI and I talked about it, there...

One-X will only pair to a single device at a time. I thought I wanted multipoint bluetooth like the A30 to get both the ipad w/ Foreflight and the phone paired, but it turns out to be mostly an theory thing for my club planes and the flying I'm doing. I did all my primary flight training...

Agree- it would functionally have to translate the data layer on its way to rebroadcasting on the different physical layer. I looked around a bit at folks talking about gdl39, but not having the actual elbows deep software experience it’d take, it’s a Conceptual exercise for me.

next time you transition from some elevated engine speed down to something near idle, say a Mag check situation, watch your EGT and see how much time it takes the data to transition between the two states. Usually there is some data filtering happening to smooth out the readings, and without...

I've "become aware" of the ~13 PED limit on many Garmin Transponders for pairing bluetooth devices for ADS-B out. (I don't understand why this exists to begin with- the legacy G1000 will spew bluetooth out readily to anything and doesn't seem to care where it's going. Maybe this is a security...
