Here's FF response to the issue: https://support.foreflight.com/hc/en-us/articles/207086037-Why-do-I-see-a-ghost-aircraft-mirroring-me-while-using-my-Stratus-receiver-?mobile_site=true

Here are all the GPS failure messages you can get on a GTN 650, they're 'mildly' descriptive which I think was something lacking on the GNS series. You'll get a generic flashing message icon on both the GTN and G5 (unless a complete GPS failure) which you'll have to tap on to read, (which is why...

There are some nice RG'S under 90k. Mine had mid time airframe and half time engine GTN650 okay paint/interior for high 70's. Cardnials seem to be priced pretty low for what they are

Due to your light weight pretty much any 4 seater is going to be able to fit into your mission. Like others have said an: Archer, Warrior, Cardnial, the entire tiger line, 172 or at the low end of the budget a: Cardnial RG, Arrow, E F C Mooney, RV10 (veryyy hard to find them for sale sadly) If...

I know the sr22's and 20's can caster greater than that but thats just what out tow guide says :/ we use tugs for everything. You get good at fitting a 38' wingspan airplane into a 40' hanger with no room to backup after you do it scores of times. Across all types I tow ~10-30 aircraft per day...

We don't have towbars for small GA tail wheels (just large fighters) so either taxi to the hanger and I'll help push it in like you're an old RAF fighter or enjoy the element's. (Hopefully no frost or hail forecasted)

Cirrus are awefuly annoying to push back with that castering nose wheel. Our book lists the limits as 15° but does anyone know what they really are? Also the old Grumman's have magnesium(?) brakes and in between the old timers at my work 5 have been burnt to the ground. So everything's a...

Believe me if that was an option then some of the guys I read about would do it. Atleast at my work you can break anything and as long as you report it you won't be fired. You lie about something as small as a static wick and you'd best pack up your stuff. Still sometimes people wont report...

The newer Mooneys have a highly visible limit indicator and I believe the stops like you're talking about. We use the same tugs on the G550's as we do the pistons, so any mistake and it's conceivable that you'd rip the nose off. This 1996 M20Rs indicator would snap if you went past limits would...

Having worked with and as line service and towed aircraft, I'm always surprised when pilots depart without preflight and just hope nothing has been broken while they were away. My question is what would happen to a GA aircraft if the turn limits were exceeded, and if there are any generic...

Saint Louis approache at night while the aircraft was going KSUS. Saint louis sometimes gets damn lazy at night (or perhaps busy) and drops the ball on aircraft that aren't theirs. Not saying they're always bad, I've had some super helpful controllers

Worst I've seen is a customer's global got dumped to tower at FL250 as soon as he hit the IAF. They were more than a little upset and ended up doing convoluted circles before entering the hold.

I've been told to fly headings as well as tracks and I fly what they tell me, when they tell me. If they keep giving me different headings on a windy day I might ask if a track would help them. They really just want to hand me off to the Delta. It's just an option

I feel like sometimes its best just to ask them what ground track they want you to fly as opposed to heading. The controllers have enough work on their hands without having to worry about giving me vectors while I fly over a class bravo trying to intercept the ILS.

NTSB FAA and Philips cleared 100LL Truck 14 and it was put back into service I believe two days after the incident. Collins like everyother warbird I've worked with fuels their own aircraft. You merely hand them the hose and write down the numbers.
