Thanks guys. Low voltage issue it is by the sound of things!

That's with the engine running at about 2400RPM

Great advice Mikey, we'll do that! Thanks.

Hi, I'm part owner in a C-172N where we installed new avionics. The radio is a Garmin GTR 225A and the transponder is a Garmin 335 with ADS-B out. After a half an hours flight a warning will appear on the radio stating something along the lines of "low voltage or high temp - reducing output...

He's still loving it, so think he'll be hanging on to it for the foreseeable future. In December '24 we're planning to go on a new trip, hopefully it will be just as successful.

Hi, thanks to all your good advice we had a wonderful trip last year. Thought I'd share the link.

Yeah, it would have been fantastic. But insurance and permits were very specific to owner and ferry pilot and by the looks of it they needed all the backseat space for fuel and other stuff. I would have been a waste of payload and space I'm afraid.

Hi Tom, Just wanted to thank you for the Linden tip and add a few pointers for others who may want to do the Hudson trip, but are terrified of doing so. First of all we both did the mandatory FAA course & exam in the morning and studied the reporting points. In the evening we arrived at Monmouth...

They are as far North as Hudson Bay now. Hard to believe that this trip began in Guatemala and will end in Norway. They saw grizzlies from the air, so the tent he bought is up for sale, unused

Yeah, I'm so happy that I mustered some courage and went along for this. After a day or two the ATC stuff was a no-brainer thankfully, before I left I thought it would be hell. Flight following is a beautiful thing, the frequency they pass you onto is rarely the one I think it will be. But once...

Thanks for tip! Plan changed a little bit. We decided for Toronto instead of Montreal for point of entry. Will look up Catskills, after a week along the coast we just assume that everything will be flat

Thanks, once we did it was it seems easy, but that's like everything else in life. Niagara falls tomorrow and then the ferry legs to Norway are back on track! The geese have started their ferrying, so it's getting late.

We did it, holy crap I've never been so stressed .

Prepping for NYC SFRA now, done course. We'll fly to Monmouth and fuel, take a dump and brief before doing the Hudson river. Am I correct to assume that since we'll be looping we are to be considered local and not transient, hence 1000 feet and below? Also no clearance required to enter I...

All handflying. I do nav and comms. Without AP it's a two man mission for sure.

It's a hell of an upgrade from the R44 in any case:-) On the whole trip there's only been one glitch so far, the G1000 panels blacked out for a few secs. It had been standing outside in heavy rain for a few days so prob a humidity thing or something. If you know of any specific 505 things we...

Haha, no in the construction business!

Hi, Here’s a few pictures from before he picked up the 505 in Guatemala City. Sexy beast! He mistakenly brought incorrect decals from Norway showing LN-OMG, but luckily the Guatemalans had already stuck on the correct one which is LN-OML. He and the ferry pilot flew from Guatemala City to...

Thanks for heads up! We might give E34 a miss and bank for wall street or the other one on the west. Will join the NYC helicopter club thing tonight and absorb all the good stuff there. Tomorrow morning American helicopter museum, landing on front of the Osprey, how cool is that! Living the...
