It can’t. One of the many reasons I went G500 TXI

As of right now I don’t like it. It’s not where I normally look and use to looking. I have it on my PFD. Got more time up in it yesterday, getting more comfortable. I really like the AOA. Gear inspection camera

Wow, I went running in those hills Saturday and Sunday. Walked outside when I left in the AM Sunday and went back in for my beanie, it was COLD and around 32*. I’m surprised we didn’t have more accidents this year, weather has been very not SoCalish weather.

I got my PPL in a complex airplane I bought. Everyone said I was crazy. 3 months later I bought a PA-32R-301T and flew it from Michigan to Southern California. Now have almost 700 hours. Weekend after I got my PPL we flew 300nm trips regularly. Understand the dangers. Understand the...

I change tanks when I start my descent and don’t touch it again until I’ve landed in my PA32. I never understood why people do this minutes from landing.

Whelp, Garmin says ship date of March 26th [emoji1787] Shop feels horrible, they goofed. But they want to do my annual for free.

I had TWO of those racks full of my stuff lol. It’s amazing to me how much stuff is shoved behind our panels.

Should have, live and learn. Up until this point the shop was very forward and up front. They had 2 PA32s in prior to me and they were done on time. I think someone just screwed up and assumed it was all ordered.

At 6 weeks all work was done minus the PlaneSync and wing tip LED addition. I paid up front for all equipment and wanted it in, bench tested and techs ready to work on it. It would have been done at 7 weeks if the G500s were ordered and in.

Neal Aviation in El Cajon. Their director emailed me right now and deeply apologized, took responsibility and point blank said he has no idea why the screen were not ordered and he should have caught that. Looks like someone made a big mistake. He took responsibility and said hopefully an answer...

Well, I am really ticked off now. I told this shop I didn’t want to bring plane in till all hardware was received. I confirmed prior to dropping plane off all hardware received. Was even told they started bench testing. I confirmed at drop off all hardware good to go. Each time I visited...

I’ve had the deny landing clearance at KSNA a few times as they will try and squeeze me on 20L with big traffic coming. Sometimes telling me to turn direct the numbers when my comfort level of wake turbulence isn’t met. Unable, I’ll extend downwind.
