Update: called back, was assured this wasn't how they wanted to treat customers, they were contrite, gut says to trust them. Appreciate the replies.

I wouldn't want to say: what if this one call was 1/1000 calls for this person... We have all had bad days and bad calls.. More concerned if they are not open to providing info and general attitude toward customers.

Just bought 12k worth of avidyne: a ifd440 plus axp322 transponder. Goods were ordered yesterday so still en route. Called avidyne tech support just now with a detailed question per my a&p to clarify pros and cons of efis/airdata protocol vs gad42 suggested in their manual. Needed this to know...

My g5 is also dead on for altitude, guessing more accurate for airspeed also. In cruise the tapes are fine, but out of the corner of my eye, say during final, holding speed with the legacy dial seems easier than trying to read a number. Neuroscience backs that up...precognitive aspects of...

Lol.i posted my own son story of over 15 hours of time with their various support groups trying to find my headset after I sent it in! After six weeks I finally had a new one in hand. Can't recommend bose at all.

Really appreciate this thread..added many of the above especially as I have things like groundspeed and vsi in other screens. The nearest airports and nearest nav aid is a big Time saver.

Also did dual g5s, removed vacuum, and also have a 430w. A few things took some getting used to... But starting to like it more after a few hours. Note that I also installed the gad29 and the gmu11 Magnetometer, so some of the below may not apply. The g5 is certified for attitude, but it's...

You should cruise at 19, then cruise at wide open throttle to be sure, but I would pop the cowl off and break out the shop vac.. It's easy to tighten the band clamps and you're allowed to do that as a pilot. An induction leak isn't the end of the world...I am guessing many people fly around...

200 is a lot. To check for induction leaks while flying, try getting temps while at 2400 rpm and wot, then 17" and 2400. Induction leaks shouldn't make a huge difference at wot, but will accentuate the difference at low mp. Those two photos will tell you a lot. You can also use the exhaust...

I also have dual g5s, and there are settings for autodim in the manual. But if you suspect the unit is on but dim, do this: Press power button Rotate knob to the right 1-2 full turns. This turns the brightness up. If that doesn't work then the 10s power button is in order. Also, there very...

Generally anything over 60 is ok but right after overhaul that seems low. That said, it depends on a lot of things that you don't mention in your post. Was that cold or hot? What types of cylinders? Did you use Continentals new method etc...

Now that I see you replaced the alternator, i actually suspect the vr... But starting with the battery and working your way forward as per the above shouldn't take more than an hour, and you will have a definitive answer.

Just did my new panel in matte black and I don't notice it at all. That's why matte black is cool: you should not have your eyes drawn to the panel. When people do work that requires color discernment, what's called a neutral grey it's used as a background, but reading instruments isn't like...

I also trouble shot the same issue recently, and it's easier than I thought. I found an article that helped a lot on the Cessna pilots subscription site, but also used an article from hartzell. Here are basic steps. 1. Check grounds starting from the battery, using a voltmeter to register...

How does TruTrak compare to Garmin g500?

If it helps, here are my idle temps - keep in mind this is a o-470-50 (pponk), for what its worth. And yes, my #5 is also the hottest. Typically #5 at idle is hottest for EGT, and #2 for CHTs. This is about 1 minute after startup.

I have been chasing a similar issue for some time. Using soapy water and a vacuum to pressurize the system, I found several induction leaks. To rule out induction leaks, try writing down the egts and chts at wot and then at say 15", and see if the differences between cylinders are the same or...

For what it's worth, my experience with Bose support was deeply troubling. After sending in my headset, I had to call in no less than 22 separate times to locate my warranty repair headset. I finally had to ask them to send me a new one as they could not locate my headset, after 45 days. Every...
