    magnetometer installed on inspection panel cover? ok?

    Question for A&Ps out there ... I was looking at a plane the other day which had been recently upgraded to a pair or Garmin Gi275s (for AI and DG). Heading for these displays was driven by a remote-mounted GMU11 magnetometer. Here's what surprised me ... The magnetometer was mounted to the...

    Anyone seen this problem?... I have a pair of GI275 s in the middle of my 6 pack, and a GNX375 in my avionics stack. Everything seemed to work fine before. Then the plane was in the shop for a couple months for annual. And now, the GI275 heading is reversed (i.e. if I fly 360 heading, it...

    lightspeed zulu control: 3d-printed mount?

    Cessna 172: open pilot warranty question … “make and model”?
