    GFC-500 is a GPS only Autopilot

    I think you’re more likely to have an issue with electrical than GPS going out. At least you can still maintain a heading and altitude which is key. But if you have a 650 or 750, I imagine you can still see the lateral guidance and vertical guidance on a LOC and ILS?

    Any experienced users of Garmin GNC 300XL?

    To input a fix, just click the direct to and input the identifier. If it isn’t in the database, you’ll have the option to input the GPS coordinates of the waypoint manually (you can find the coordinates on foreflight) and this will become part of the database moving forward. From my belief...

    Purchasing a plane in an LLC / buy LLC?

    Technically the contract is between the LLC and the landlord and would remain in force. However you need to read the contracts to see, and sometimes you’ll have someone who isn’t happy with that and starts a fuss and of course who wants to engage in a lawsuit over this?

    Purchasing a plane in an LLC / buy LLC?

    It’s more for privacy, it’s easy to start an LLC and to do the paperwork to buy an airplane, mostly everything is a template with fill in the blanks. California LLC’s have outrageous fees, but you can form an LLC in a state that’s cheaper. When you fly the aircraft ownership is public record...

    PA28R-180 Piper Arrow Panel Upgrade Talk

    I went to talk to an avionics shop about possibly making some upgrades. I was sort of thinking to remove the vacuum system with 2 x GI275’s, add a GNX375 GPS with ADSB in/out, remove the loran and old transponder, keep the KX155 and CDI/Glideslope for comms and VOR/LOC approaches, keep the...

    Balancing Moderation for a Thriving Community

    As a previously banned member, I can say the only time I’ve been banned is when I said the C word (California or China lol) or talked about politics. Yeah the thread got off topic, and I think it’s better to not have politics in our discussions (I don’t even think we talked politics at the...

    Eye floaters and FOV (Floater Only Vitrecomy)

    Is it a focus thing? Now that I’m reading this I see a floater but haven’t noticed one in a long long time. Maybe too much screen time doesn’t help? I have no idea.

    How to calculate a value for airstrip on my land?

    You used the word “we” are planning to build a community so I imagine that means your neighbor is involved. But he also owns the other half? and you need both halves to make a runway. I have zero experience with this kind of stuff but I would draw up plans, and separate the runway and taxiways...

    Update on Catalina Baron crash

    Nothing wrong with carrying a tent and battery pack, pitch a tent and watch some YouTube videos, read POA, before you know it the sun is rising and it’s time to pack up and be on your way.

    Piper Cherokee tire tube

    I’ve had a number of tire issues, but now on a lucky streak. Haha. I keep a nose and main spare in the baggage compartment. One time I got a replacement tube and tire and I cannot remember if it was $300 or $500. Probably $500. Install labor and towing included.

    Tankless water heaters

    Nice work, I have the same brand. Pretty solid product. You’ll have to clean out the filter every couple years, you might get some error messages one day that say to clean it. Other than that I’m happy with it.
