    Stratus EDG/3i Cutting Out

    They had me take it out and update/reboot it essentially. Worked for a while, but acting up again. It seems to be an issue with intermittent power, so need to look at the wiring to make sure nothing got chafed or pinched. Also, need to get a more secure mounting solution for it - the...

    Stratus EDG/3i Cutting Out

    Anyone else in here have the Appareo Stratus ESG/3i combo for ADS-B In/Out and have an issue with the Stratus 3i dropping off? Some flights it's fine the whole time, but at other times the WiFi signal just goes away (and the EFB disconnects losing traffic & weather). It will come back on at...

    3rd annual Waterbury Airport N41 in CT Fall Fly In

    Forecast is looking great and it is looking like we should have a great turnout. One of the great things about this event is we've gotten a wide variety of aircraft showing up - taildraggers galore, but plenty of nosewheel guys too (me included...) and even helicopters. Vintage, newer...

    Want To Buy Southwest New England Aircraft

    Hi Jamie, I ended up buying my own plane - a 55 TriPacer - last October. There is a club with a decently equipped 172 at BDR if you are looking for something like that. Check out 21 Flyers at 21flyers.org.

    TKM/Michael MX12 Issue

    So it's not the radio - either wiring or indicator issue. Guess I can test for wiring continuity relatively easy enough. A replacement indicator I'm up in the air about. From what I am hearing, it has to be one of the compatible Narco VOA indicators (-4, -8, etc.) and the King, Mid-Continent...

    TKM/Michael MX12 Issue

    Thanks. Bennett Avionics is renting me a loaner so I can do just that - will check to see if it is the radio or the indicator. They said that it is most often an issue with the radio getting the signal out to the indicator. So even though I can tune and identify the signal, it is not then...

    Garmin pilot will now play nice with Stratus 3

    Garmin Pilot needs the Stratus 3 output in GDL90 mode. They typically default to lock on ForeFlight - so you need the Apparel app to be able to unlock ForeFlight mode and have it outputting the raw GDL90 signal. I believe - I don't have GP yet, but this is how it was for me to connect it to...

    Garmin 396/496 Glare Shield Mount

    Thanks. I just bought what looks to be a complete kit on eBay - will see what it comes with when I get it. That one you show there looks good if it doesn't come with something usable. Wish I had the panel space for a Gizmo mount to get it in there, but space is at a premium.

    Garmin 396/496 Glare Shield Mount

    Hi all, Anyone have any photos or ideas for mounting a Garmin 396 GPS up on the glare shield? Looking for a semi-permanent method as I aim to hardwire it for power and to feed an AV-30C DG/HSI as well. Going in an older TriPacer with limited space in the panel, hence the need to have up on...

    TKM/Michael MX12 Issue

    Yes, I know it's old. However, the plane I bought recently seems to be receiving Nav signals fine as I can hear the morse code identifiers if I turn the volume up. The CDI (Narco VOA-8), however, doesn't budget at all regardless of where I am in relation to the VOR. 1st step is checking wire...

    TKM KX-12 Issue

    Hi all, Recently bought a plane and the TKM MX-12 navcom has since given up the ghost. Worked when I got it but not for long. The LEDs still light up strong as can be, but none of the buttons work now. Can't change frequencies, the 25hz button doesn't work, flip-flop doesn't work, etc...

    Flying in South Korea

    From what I've found online, it looks like Osan closed back in 2016 due to rising costs and there is little to no GA in Korea, so guess I'm out of luck. Bummer.

    Flying in South Korea

    I'm a veteran, but I assume you need to be currently serving to get access to the Osan AB club?

    Flying in South Korea

    Does anyone know if I would be able to fly in South Korea (dual) with my FAA license? On vacation in Australia at the beginning of this year I was able to go up, dual, in a Cessna 140 for a couple of hours. I was able to be in the left seat and do all the flying - all I had to do was pay $10...

    Shutting down NDBs

    Assuming he means there's no approaches based on it - just used as the homing navaid.
