Sold.

I'm Lance's son and this is my plane. It's time for me to either move on or keep it forever, so I've deeply discounted the price for a quick sale. The mods didn't like me updating this thread, but the TAP link in the first post has been updated with current info including pricing and my contact...

I'm betting when you loaded the approach you selected WALON as the IAF. After the box flew the last direct leg with no further inputs, its next step would be to sequence you to the approach you had loaded, so it was telling you it was going to turn hard right direct WALON after ILOPY, which it...

United ordered Concordes too. I won’t be holding my breath just yet.

Don't know about the previous owner, but the shop does have a repair station certificate. It's possible that "it can't be made legal" meant "it would take more time, money, and/or hassle than we think it's worth". For my purposes I decided I'd rather just leave the battery minder in the hangar...

Not that I saw, but I asked the shop if the install could be made legal and the IA said no.

Is this a special aviation-specific unit? My plane had a battery minder installed next to the battery when I bought it. Seemed like a convenient feature (the factory ground power port apparently doesn't charge the battery) but current IA said it had to be removed for him to sign off an annual...

You mean a Comanche?

Description sounds like Brookhaven. Safe (it's its own city with its own police force), walkable shops/dining/nightlife if you're in or near the Town Brookhaven development, MARTA to KATL or Atlantic Station, and close to PDK, which does have tie down space available. Some parts of Chamblee...

I did contact both Aspen and uAvionix and both told me in writing they believed an AV-30C would meet the Aspen STC requirements for backup attitude information in my installation. Right after that is when the shop doing the annual found lots of ferrous metal in both oil screens, so obviously...

Having to put this on the back burner for a little bit. It’s looking like I need to OH both engines :(

Dual Aspens can back each other up for airspeed and altitude. I don't have any AS/altitude indicators in my cockpit except for the Aspens. (So if I were to lose both Aspens, I would have no airspeed or altitude indications, which is one reason I want to replace the mechanical AI with an electric...

I just had my vacuum AI fail in flight. It’s the only vacuum driven instrument I have left and I’d like to get rid of the vacuum system. I currently have dual Aspen 1000 PFD/MFD with the backup batteries. They are the older non-MAX versions for which the STC requires a backup AI. I don’t have...

You may want to reach out to @Kristin if you're shopping for Comanches. She's based in the Twin Cities and did the prepurchase inspection and initial transition training when I bought my Twin Comanche in Minnesota a few months ago.

Nice to meet everyone today.
