    Garmin com - low voltage / high temp warning

    Hi, I'm part owner in a C-172N where we installed new avionics. The radio is a Garmin GTR 225A and the transponder is a Garmin 335 with ADS-B out. After a half an hours flight a warning will appear on the radio stating something along the lines of "low voltage or high temp - reducing output...

    Thanks for all your help!

    He's still loving it, so think he'll be hanging on to it for the foreseeable future. In December '24 we're planning to go on a new trip, hopefully it will be just as successful.

    Flying chopper in Manhattan

    Yeah, it would have been fantastic. But insurance and permits were very specific to owner and ferry pilot and by the looks of it they needed all the backseat space for fuel and other stuff. I would have been a waste of payload and space I'm afraid.

    Flying chopper in Manhattan

    Hi Tom, Just wanted to thank you for the Linden tip and add a few pointers for others who may want to do the Hudson trip, but are terrified of doing so. First of all we both did the mandatory FAA course & exam in the morning and studied the reporting points. In the evening we arrived at Monmouth...

    Flying chopper in Manhattan

    They are as far North as Hudson Bay now. Hard to believe that this trip began in Guatemala and will end in Norway. They saw grizzlies from the air, so the tent he bought is up for sale, unused

    Trip along East coast US - Suggestions to land with chopper

    Yeah, I'm so happy that I mustered some courage and went along for this. After a day or two the ATC stuff was a no-brainer thankfully, before I left I thought it would be hell. Flight following is a beautiful thing, the frequency they pass you onto is rarely the one I think it will be. But once...

    Trip along East coast US - Suggestions to land with chopper

    Thanks for tip! Plan changed a little bit. We decided for Toronto instead of Montreal for point of entry. Will look up Catskills, after a week along the coast we just assume that everything will be flat

    Trip along East coast US - Suggestions to land with chopper

    Thanks, once we did it was it seems easy, but that's like everything else in life. Niagara falls tomorrow and then the ferry legs to Norway are back on track! The geese have started their ferrying, so it's getting late.

    Trip along East coast US - Suggestions to land with chopper

    Prepping for NYC SFRA now, done course. We'll fly to Monmouth and fuel, take a dump and brief before doing the Hudson river. Am I correct to assume that since we'll be looping we are to be considered local and not transient, hence 1000 feet and below? Also no clearance required to enter I...
