I don't know the autopilot or your GPS box, but . . . My guess is you still have the navigator outputting an LPV glide path. Try deselecting LPV and using just LNAV, VNAV. The autopilot may well ignore the VNAV signal which is different from the vertical part of a an LPV.

The FAA is maintaining the VOR MON (Minimum Operational Network) as a basically foolproof back up to GPS. See: https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ato/service_units/techops/navservices/gbng/vormonIs retiring your VHF equipment premature? Some things to consider. GPS...

Some of this is redundant but as a Luscombe pilot and CFI for the past 44ish years I think I'm qualified to give some advice. Flying is energy management. Too much energy when you land and you go flying again. Land with the stick all the way back. To do this flare to a level attitude a few...

Feet dry, no return. If a Cuban makes it to U.S. land they are permitted to stay. I do not believe this applies to possessions or territories so the entire empire is not open to them. Just the 50 states.

Don't forget, sand is the original EMAS.

In the old days I flew a Shorts 360 which had only a flight director and no electronic autopilot (the voice activated autopilot sitting to my right usually was operational though). While I do not have much experience with Garmin products, the general architecture of these things is one or more...

The firearms discussion is seriously misleading because it has to do with a criminal law. Is there a criminal law that says that an agent cannot purchase an aircraft for an undisclosed principal? I don't claim to be an expert so I'll just say that it seems highly unlikely. Absent a criminal...
