I can’t think of page that takes more than 3 taps to get to with Garmin Pilot. Generally is a tap on the map (like an airport), then tap on one of the pages in a radial menu (like weather, directto, information), then for information tap on a submenu (frequencies, procedures, fuel). If you have...

Or they may use vref or some other appraisal tool that may not accurately reflect the value of your plane. I would recommend getting an AP or two to give you a detailed estimate of how much it would take to repair the plane.

There wasn’t any avionics work done recently?

Get a king size bed.

You can also expand the plate to full screen and zoom in, I use it for situational awareness. If wired to a garmin radio (like the 255), you can use it to transfer frequencies. And the 660 can only connect to 1 Bluetooth device at a time.

You’re doing something wrong if 10 inches isn’t enough.

Can GNS handle airways? I vaguely remember they couldn’t and if GTN has an airway how would GNS handle it?

I don’t have the room for 12”, would be nice to have a faster processor to improve the database loading times.

There’s 2 kind of audio BT connections, 1 is a phone connection and the other is a plain audio connection. I can’t see having 2 phone connections but you might be able to have 2 audio connections.

First decide if you prefer ear plug style or classic ear muff style. Everyone has a different head shape/size, if you go to an air show you can probably try most of the models out. I chose A20s way back when ANR was relatively new, they work for me even on 12 hour days, but they are pricey...

As mentioned database updates will fail, but many if not most GPS units are not acting in isolation, they’re interconnected to transponders(ADSB), engine monitors, etc, and assuming they don’t take the time to copy the configuration files from one to the other, the owner is going quickly see...

For boats, they had to take sights using a sextant. Okay, I’ll get off your lawn now.

I don’t want to brag (I’m kidding, sure I do [emoji2]), but not only can a Mooney do 150+ kts, but it will do it on 8.5 gph without tailwinds. But it’s wingspan is 37’, so no extra room and is a tight fit for some hangars. I don’t desire more speed because I can travel a 1000 miles in 8 hours...

I thought he was also a (executive) producer which means he had a lot more responsibility than just an actor reading some lines.

The GFC AP disconnect button should stop runaway trim, I don’t see why this should be a big deal. Your first instinct if AP is doing something should be to disconnect it, stabilize the plane, and check for any annunciations and if flying VFR at high altitudes, only then engage the AP.
