Thanks for the inputs everyone… I have some things to mull over. @Mongoose Aviator I’m still undecided… I flew in a plane with an Aspen and I liked the functionality of it. Originally I was going to go all in with the GFC-600 and dual GI-275’s but decided to just hold on to the Century a little...

Hello everyone… Just doing some research into a future panel upgrade and I’ve seen and heard ALOT of negative stuff about the EA100 interface into legacy autopilots. I’m aware of the EA100 reliability issues and the display failures I’m wondering if these are a thing of the past now or if it’s...

I was a former a member before I decided to buy my own airplane. I never did find availability limited… that could be different now. There was some rule in the system where you could only have three active reservations and one active RON reservation so I believe that cut down on someone just...

Brad.. If you’re looking to get back into the game and plan on doing it regularly I’d look into the Northeast Florida Aero Club in St Augustine… They have a Cherokee 180, Cessna 172, and Cessna 182.. all have decent avionics and haven’t been beat up by student pilots. It helps that you have to...

Did you check and see if you might have a clogged fuel injector? If one of the cylinders isnt firing it would run rough and not make full power either… just something to think about. Obviously easier to diagnose if you have an engine monitor.

I used US Aircraft Finance… specifically Alex Dubra. Pretty happy with them as it was a fairly painless process and they had the best rates at the time. https://www.usaircraftfinance.com/

Hah! I’m not going to lie… I looked it up to double check the spelling… :D

Dumb question… I have a GTX330ES… with the ADB-B requirements I take it the Extended Squitter meets the requirements for flying into the Bahamas? I had trouble finding the terminology verbatim.

SOLD

Gently used Flight Outfitters iPad Flight Desk… It worked great for me when I was flying club aircraft and now that I moved onto ownership I no longer need it. Retails for $99.95 at Sporty’s. All info about it can be found here… https://www.sportys.com/flight-outfitters-ipad-flight-desk.html...

Totally agree! I picked up my plane on Tuesday afternoon during a break between the rain bands in Daytona and moved it to Ormond and it was a sporty 5 min flight… couldn’t imagine doing it in a 172 the next day!

Same here… still no luck on JDM or Milplanner

Yeah.. even Milplanner which is a Jeppesen product that the military relies on is down. Foreflight works though!

Suburban had character though! :)

Are diversity ADS-B mandates being discussed anywhere else other than Canada? Like the Caribbean or Bahamas?
