avionics

With the risk of revealing your age... (I mean, flight hours) do you recall what was the first aviation-related book you read? Do you still keep it on your bookshelf? (Share a pic or link if you want) Here's mine: "The Killing Zone". A book that may scare the s*** out of many aspiring pilots but...

I met a guy the other day at my flight school who is getting his Recreational Permit as he only expects to fly LSA. It makes me wonder if you should still go for PPL even if you only intend to fly LSA (which is my personal case). Should you start with RP and upgrade to PPL on the go, or should...

Hi folks. I've been designing a dream panel using hangarflying.com and after finishing it a thought came to my mind: What happens if there's a major cyber attack and all the screens turn blue mid flight? Not talking about a power blackout on your plane, but a software malfunction. All the...

Hello All, Looking to update the panel in my '68 Cardinal to pursue my IR and beyond. Aircraft Spruce has a sale on the Garmin 175 (waas) /GI 106B CDI (vor, loc, GPS, glideslope). From my research, this is the most affordable/practical package for my mission. Have a KX-155 installed already...

I recently just completed my Flight Review after not flying for 6 years. I'm so happy to be back in the skies and loving all of the new technology out there. Especially Foreflight. My set up right now consists of: Iphone Xs on a RAM suction cup mount on the left side of the dash (C172). I...

Hello all! What are your thoughts on working towards my IR in an airplane without an IFR rated GPS? Currently, I run a Bendix/king skyforce III(not IFR approved) in my '68 Cardinal. In addition, what would be the best affordable IFR capable GPS systems on the market? Garmin 430 waas,garmin 155...

I have purchased the US Database Bundle, and also installed the Garmin desktop app. I inserted a 16GB SD card, formatted as FAT32. The software displayed seven products available to update, and the update installer ran without error, indicating that the updates were successfully downloaded. The...

Hello fellow forumers, I just wanted to introduce myself to the forums. I'm Caleb Greene and own an FAA Certified avionics facility at Cable Airport in Upland, CA. Recently, but not so recently, Dynon has come out to the certified market and are pushing production for STC in many single and...

Hey guys, I’m looking for someone that could help install an audio panel, Gns 430W, edm 700 on my bird. Located in South FL. It’s a piper warrior II, 430w would also need a compatible glidescope.

Hello all, I have a dual Garmin G5 AI/HSI install in my PA28-181. Starting recently, I no longer see the 45-second countdown on my AI when I turn off the master. It just turns off. And I also no longer see the battery status at all - seems like it's just no longer seeing the battery for some...

I develop product prototypes using small development circuit boards. I'm super psyched to get my pilot's license, but want to keep my costs low. I wonder if there would ever be an opportunity to trade CFI hours for in-kind hours developing some avionics product idea said CFI has. Does this...

Hello Everyone! I recently upgraded the avionics on a 1979 PA28-181 with dual G5s / GMA 342 / GNX 375 / GNS 255. Everything was fine until a day after a month and a half of the upgrade, when I started to get a fail in the heading data in the PFD G5, followed by a message "Not receiving ARINC...

I just got my airplane back after a complete panel upgrade. I added the Dynon engine monitoring suite to better integrate the system. I have a Grumman AA5B and noticed several items when 9i got it home. my main concern is my CHT's. The system indicates high 200's to very low 300's. Normal...

Hey All, I’m hoping to not reinvent the wheel here and learn from the extensive research that you all have done. I am looking at purchasing a plane and unfortunately nothing in my price range has what i feel is a minimum panel for extensive IFR flying. Goals are to be able to do WAAS approaches...

We have a CGR-30P in a C182, installed about 4 years ago. It periodically gives readings across all parameters very high or very low (fast jumps - then back to correct readings). Have rechecked connections and grounding (2 different shops). Getting it looked at again, but wondering if anyone has...
