    337 or STC for non-primary and/or non-required instruments?

    I'm a relatively green pilot (~150hrs) and new plane owner and my plane is just getting buttoned up from an Avionics install that's been in the works for a bit. Now I'm wishing I had had an engine management system installed (at least CHT's/EGT's) but I'm not going to throw that wrench into the...

    New Garmin Instrumentation - Look Good!

    Considering we're having the same reaction, perhaps our installation isn't the target demographic. Considering the 375 has a reasonable display and interfaces with an IPad, that makes some of the MFD functionality (map, traffic, etc.) less relevant. I'd also be curious to know what the sensor...

    New Garmin Instrumentation - Look Good!

    I was getting a quote on a gnx 375 and dual G5's, but last night my avionics guy let me know he was holding off on the quote until this was released since he thought it was definitely worth considering. Price-wise, it doesn't seem like as much of a slam-dunk as the G5. Maybe if you want to...

    Oil filter adapter kit for Grumman AA5 (Traveler)

    Thanks, Chris. This is extremely helpful. It's a bit of a trek to where I'm currently keeping my plane and I wanted to have a viable part in-hand the next time I headed out there.

    Oil filter adapter kit for Grumman AA5 (Traveler)

    Curious if there's anyone out there has any experience with swapping the oil screen for an oil filter adapter on the (1975) Grumman AA5 (O-320 E2G). Basically my question is around clearances, and with the plane not nearby I was wondering if anyone had installed the "11:00 vertical" style...

    Dynon Certified with GFC 500 experience?

    Thanks. This is some great feedback/insight I'll need to take into consideration.

    Dynon Certified with GFC 500 experience?

    Interesting. I've only had a very initial discussion with the avionics guy, but he was the one who suggested replacing the D10A with the G5 to get the AHRS input for the autopilot. He said the G5 would make the D10A unnecessary in the install. I had the same initial reaction, but he seemed...

    Dynon Certified with GFC 500 experience?

    I'm kicking around avionics upgrades for a Grumman AA5 and right now I'm bouncing back and forth between a full Garmin suite (G3x, GNX 375, G5, GFC 500) or the Dynon Skyview HDX suite with a G5 replacing the D10, a GPS 175 as the IFR navigator, and the GFC 500 (going this route because the Dynon...
