What's downright hilarious is that imagine if Congress could do this one thing: Remove the requirement to have at least one Class 3 to be eligible for Basic Med No increase in dangerous pilots flying airplanes No need for millions to be spent on developing MOSAIC Heck, no need for LSA and...

What's in my mind is about 3 years ago flying VFR with flight following in a Tiger with a GNS 430. The screen went dark because of a malfunctioning auto display dimming piece of hardware. I could get it back for a bit by covering up the light sensor. If it was IMC and I had to fly an an...

Time to sacrifice someone?

Or me from making and using a duplicate part in my basement?

So how can the company not then sell that $1 switch to anyone except Piper?

Does that apply to using after market parts for repair? And fixing Garmin instrument?

Need “Right to Repair” for GA.

For reference, this is what I compare things to. https://www.tripltek.com/ 1300 continuous nits in summer direct sunlight, 2 hour battery life running I fly, and I can’t get it to over heat even here in Atlanta.

Note on Apple Nit claims. An Apple table now can have in some occasions a brief high Nit output. But not continuous. So read carefully what exactly they mean by the new Apple having 1000 Nits.

I did not know that.

None. And they were both touch and goes. Yeah, he’s that good.

So would a back up / independent power source be more likely to be needed vs a 2nd nav radio or 2nd gps navigator? Planned usage would be mostly flying IFR x country in a skylane.

Love the tiger. A few thoughts though. It likes long runways. Travel light and don’t go with full fuel. Would never go to a shorter runway, would never consider a grass strip. It is a ton of fun to fly. It’s a Miata to a Cardinal / Skylane “SUV”. But that also means it gets...

Sounds like your latest installs are then just a primary GPS navigator and a primary Nav radio, with no 2nd Nav radios or 2nd GPS units. Nice data point you have there.

Every plane I've flown in for the past 8 years has had 2 Nav radios, but only 1 GPS (either a GNS 430 or a GTN 650). So even though 95% of flying is with GPS, planned / thought out or not we've seemed to have arrived at a common panel design that has no back up to what we use most of the time...

Don't know what Brendon (the OP) ended up doing, but IMHO it also depends on how long you'll own the plane. If it's your "last plane", then get the most advanced you can, as you'll appreciate the extra years of not being obsolete. In other words, get the G 275s.

It's the American Way!

It sounds like a nice feature, but if I had to guess I'd say it's not going to be an outstanding upgrade. Even if it takes away 100% of all reflections, IMHO if it doesn't have the sunlight readable brightness needed number of continuous nits (1100 at the minimum) it's just not going to be...

There is a almost cult Cardinal Flyers group out there if you haven't looked at it yet. Everything you wanted to know about a Cardinal but was afraid to ask. https://www.cardinalflyers.com/home/_home.php IF the fixed gear Cardinal could get up to 130 - 135 knots / had they put the big engine...

Ever sneeze so loud that it sets off you're Apple Watch loud noise exposure warning?
