Unheated hangar, but the team an hour before me was cranking on a charged battery - left it half dead for me. I did not have the master on. The owner and I discussed it and thought that the master off might have been my primary malfunction. But he hasn’t done it in years and couldn’t recall for sure whether it was switched.
Bat died because the previous renters couldn’t start the plane after 3-4 tries
I upgraded my Internet connection from 75Mbps to 400Mbps a few months ago. My area 660 database updates used to take 60 minutes. Now they take 55 minutes.
Doesn’t matter how fast your connection is if their end can’t supply it any faster. But you know that, I’m sure…I upgraded my Internet connection from 75Mbps to 400Mbps a few months ago. My area 660 database updates used to take 60 minutes. Now they take 55 minutes.
I checked against a number of Internet speed tests (Google, Ookla, Xfinity, Speakeasy, etc) both before and after the upgrade.
Gigabit Ethernet over cat5e/cat6 for any device that can take it. The WiFi router is tri-band AC3600 MU-MIMO.
I suspect Garmin is doing something silly like send a packet, ACK the packet, send a packet, ACK the packet, etc rather than just streaming the file down. Either that or Garmin used a really bad eMMC implementation. Updating panel mounted devices via saving to SDHC (UHS mark I) is nowhere near as slow as the aera.

I just called a place to get checked out in a PA30 for time building. Their insurance wants 100 hours time in type before solo
Also they're booked until end-January. So now I'm going through the exercise on how far I'd fly to transition to a PA30. This op is at KIKK and I've found them to rent at 3G3, KHFJ, 5R4, KBHM, and KFME. I'm thinking south - right? Better weather down there? So perhaps Alabama wins?
Because the guy who owns one near me won't put me on the insurance to fly his until I have 25 hours in type. The only other MEI that was on that insurance left to go fly for a 135 op.
Thanks! So I'm taking this as an invitation since these places aren't commutable.
I appreciate the solid.
FTFY
So I'm slowly building a map of organizations/flight schools with PA30 available for multi/time-building. I find one at 1TT8 (near San Antonio) near my in-laws - cool! I look up plane tickets for the family and my jaw drops!
How was your flight? I wanted to fly today but had other obligations (and no plane).So I was going to go do some night flying this evening. After taxing the plane to the pump and refueling I started it back up and the G5 screen is black (pictured). I try power cycling with the master to no effect. I hold the power button for a few seconds, I try everything I can think of...
I was about 20 seconds from blowing a gasket since I just had this installed 5 months ago - when Google informs me fellow POA'ers already have a fix! Hold the power down for a full 10s and it's right as rain!
So thank you fellow POAers. You helped me avoid either a stroke or going absolutely postal -- or some mix of the two!
I didn't fly. I spent so long looking at the G5 that by the time I was good to go I had to park it so I could head to dinner.... At least I got yesterday's night flying in
Rockstar! You taking a break to hit Lunch on Saturday? We can all quiz you.I didn't fly. I spent so long looking at the G5 that by the time I was good to go I had to park it so I could head to dinner.... At least I got yesterday's night flying in
Trying to get the IFR practical done before plane goes in for annual on 2/6. Doing another 12 hours this week.
I'm going to try and make it over to RPJ! I might be flying there from KAZO in the morning, hoping the timing (and wx) works out.
I'm "related" to 22 presidents. I have an ancestor that came to the colonies very early. If you have that, you're pretty much related to a lot of US history.
