    Garmin 750 and Flight Stream 510

    Ah okay i figured this might be a solution but I was afraid to put the flight stream SD card in my computer. Thought I'd break it. EDIT: Did some research. Sounds like I can use the 510 wifi to upload the charts directly to the 510. Assuming if I want to switch my wifi over to my stratus the...

    Garmin 750 and Flight Stream 510

    Okay thanks. I'll have to look into that. So you use garmin pilot and all the charts etc show up on your Garmin gps?

    Best Instrument Checkride Questions

    I may have written that confusingly. ILS's wouldn't have a defined MAP, but I was trying to equate reaching the DA to reaching a charted MAP. The question essentially is whether or not you are allowed to transition to the missed approach course early.

    Cirrus jet damaged....

    So the LLC would just go bankrupt in that case?

    Bill of sale & Registration ?

    I would highly recommend using an Escrow like Aerospace reports. Not only did they handle all the documents for me but were able to clear a lien before I purchased my plane. Anyways if you have adobe you can use it to create an electronic signature that's valid.

    Flying Magazine - newsletter and website are poor

    I've never googled "xxxx definition" as much as I just did after reading this lol. But yes it seems as if Flying Magazine has been condemning small pistons, outside of training, to death for years now. Doesn't seem like it when I'm stuck on a shade hangar waiting list for over a year.

    Best Instrument Checkride Questions

    You're flying with the DPE on an ILS. After the FAF and before the DA he instructs you (acting as ATC) to go missed. The MAP is a VOR about 15* left of course. Do you follow the ILS to the DA and then go missed or do you go direct the VOR and climb right away?

    Best Instrument Checkride Questions

    I believe it's mostly a military taught thing. Very useful to repeat it to yourself while flying an approach to make sure you didn't forget anything. I actually put 'time' first so I don't forget to start a timer, but with moving map GPS nowadays forgetting isn't as consequential.

    Garmin 750 and Flight Stream 510

    I fly IFR quite a bit so when updating my Garmin 750's nav database I was tempted into buying the 12 month package that contained everything. Nav datbase, charts, terrain, etc etc. I really don't need this information since I fly with foreflight on my iPad, but I figured since the bundle saved...

    Flying Magazine - newsletter and website are poor

    I still keep my subscription because I think there are a few good tidbits of information in there and I get bored at work sometimes. It does seem they cater quite a bit to business aviation with their constant articles about 3 mil + jets. I think the AOPA magazine is far better if you haven't...

    Credit card rewards for fuel

    This is another reason I'm afraid to buy a gas specific card.

    Credit card rewards for fuel

    Assuming I spend at least 500$ a month on gas (easy to do) that'd save me around 275 dollars a year. I'd rather keep using my Amex. 300 points a fill up, two fill ups a year, enough points for a round trip ticket to Europe every 6 years. But I put everything on the Amex, annuals, maintenance...

    Supplemental Oxygen changed our flying...

    Do you have a link for a good one? I don't have any issues up to 12k but I wanna see if it reduces the potential of getting a headache after landing.

    Cirrus into the drink, 1/13, South Carolina

    Okay so insurance doesn't cover normal wear and tear. So say that engine went out before take off on run up. The insurance would not have covered it?? But since it failed later in the flight and the plane ended up at the bottom of the lake they cover the damage. Makes no sense to me.
