    Anywhere in FL to rent a raft?

    Banyan at FXE rents them, and there's a customs office on the field.

    GTN 750 Arrival Procedure

    I was told to "join the Tyler Three arrival" and then my frustrations started from there. Thanks for backing up my keystrokes, I sat there flustered thinking there had to be a better way, but I guess not.

    What fun is that when you have GPSS to do all the hard work?

    GTN 750 Arrival Procedure

    For the first time since I had the GTN 750 installed, I was given an arrival. I was flying from Tallahassee (KTLH) to Boca Raton (KBCT). The route called for TLH, KCTY (Cross City), LAL (Lakeland), PHK (Pahoke) direct KBCT. Between Lakeland and Pahoke, I was assigned the TTYLR3 arrival. I had...

    GTN 750 SD Card contacts

    I could have used your expertise earlier, but I do have a few questions for you. First, I was under the impression that only Garmin could service the unit, but based on what you said, I guess not. You are exactly right, the slot was/is gummed up. What is the cost to replace the slot? Second...

    GTN 750 SD Card contacts

    Here is the epilogue.. I sprayed contact cleaner on an eyeglass cloth and wrapped it around an SD card and ever so gently inserted it into the slot a few times. After letting the unit dry for five minutes I placed a card into the unit containing the latest updates, all the while holding my...

    GTN 750 SD Card contacts

    I've been at revision level 6.71 since late 2019, which is now second to the most current (6.72). I too have the FS 210 and love it as well. Interestingly, I just went to search on version 6.72 and found the software upgrade on the Garmin site, along with instructions. Has Garmin changed their...

    GTN 750 SD Card contacts

    Well, it's official. When I went out to the hangar today to attempt to load the latest updates, the unit gave me an error stating "DATACARD ERROR: SD card is invalid or failed" on all three cards that I attempted to use. I will take AlphaMikes's advice and spray contact cleaner before sending...

    GTN 750 SD Card contacts

    It sounds like you have a Flightstream 510 SD card inserted in the GTN, which is a wireless Bluetooth interface that connects to the iPad. I don't have the 510 and have to rely on transferring the database manually through the SD card.

    GTN 750 SD Card contacts

    No, when I see that the card isn't being recognized, I shut the unit down via the avionics master, put the next card in and if it isn't recognized I shut down again and do the SD card dance. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I also forgot to mention that sometimes when I'm flying along...

    GTN 750 SD Card contacts

    You are absolutely correct, I should have provided more detail. I always come to the hangar prepared and carry with me freshly formatted cards using a myriad of loading techniques, full reinstall, update, what have you and most of the time none of them are recognized when I fire the unit up...

    GTN 750 SD Card contacts

    I've been having a problem loading updates to the GTN and believe it to be the SD card contacts in the GTN. I say that because I have four "genuine" Garmin SD Cards and at times none of them can be read while at other times all of them can be read. Outside of sending the unit back to Garmin for...

    GTN 750 parts

    Thanks for the heads up. The price, which includes 3 knobs, is about $240.

    GTN 750 parts

    The knobs fit perfectly, so it was $35 well spent.

    GTN 750 parts

    You are exactly right, I ordered it and if doesn't fit, I blew $35 (with shipping).

    GTN 750 parts

    Is that a direct replacement? I'd hate to spend all that dough only to find out it didn't fit.

    I don't know what a 3D printer is, let alone own one.

    GTN 750 parts

    The unit was one of the very first installs of the GTN from 2011 and the shop is no longer around.
