    G5 as a turn coordinator

    Our turn coordinator failed in our plane with a dual G5 config (replacing the old AI and HI) so I had reason to answer the same question as the OP. Our STC has this content: For installations in aircraft approved for IFR operations: If the G5 is installed as the primary attitude indicator, the...

    Garmin pilot will now play nice with Stratus 3

    Thanks. It's apparent I'm doing something wrong. :) Connect to the Stratus via wifi. Confirm it's functioning by using another aviation app and verify local ADS-B traffic appears. Close the other aviation app. Open Pilot. Go to the Traffic page. Observe message "No Traffic Device. Check Device...

    Garmin pilot will now play nice with Stratus 3

    Has anybody gotten Garmin Pilot (Android) to connect to a Stratus 3? If so, what's the magic recipe? :) Thanks.

    In our case, it's a purchase of a share in the not-for-profit corporation that owns the plane and the "refund" is the club buying back the share on the member's departure. Good question! :)

    Another airline pilot & junk problems

    From the TSA's site: "TSA uses two types of imaging technology, millimeter wave and backscatter." I don't know and haven't been able to find in what ratio the two technologies are being deployed. However, the machines do appear differently from the outside, so an educated passenger can decide...

    Another airline pilot & junk problems

    My online research shows that the millimeter wave scanners subject the passenger to less energy than a 1-minute cell phone call so I'm not concerned about health issues with that one. I'll grant there is some room for concern regarding the backscatter X-ray machine, but the risks do appear to be...

    All my Approaches are high.

    More practice. ;) Seriously, more data is needed. How are you defining "high"? Compared to what? Are your speeds good? Are you landing in the desired touchdown zone? What's a "rough" landing for you? Are you flying a similar airframe from flight to flight? I support the desire to constantly...
