Hard to pick one but I have two in 2022 that really stick out. 1) I flew my Bonanza to Sun N Fun. A lot of fun and great experience. 2) Bought a Baron in California and flew it cross country back to Little Rock Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jesse I checked AP disconnect and it does not show a TX when pressed. I did take too plate off yoke and on the ptt there are 3 male connectors and the bottom 2 were being used and top one was open with wires crammed on top of it. Not sure if it was already broke or I broke it but the ptt switch...

What do you mean plug into copilot side ptt? I have one on the yoke for pilot and one one panel in front of the copilot. Also, after a little ground testing with autopilot on it only seems to do it with com 1 as I could not get it to replicate on com 2 KFC200 PMA450a Garmin 430w KX165 ADF...

Just bought a Baron and on the flight home the autopilot started to disconnect when the ptt button was used. Happened with ptt on yoke and panel. Does not do it every time but maybe 7 out of 10 times. Any ideas where to start looking? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

One more thing, the signal issue seems to be a non issue now since I now have a 5g phone and was told my iPhone X and the XR’s had known issues. If you don’t already have a 5g phone it is definitely worth the upgrade. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I ended up staying with Apple and got the 14pro max so I have a little bigger screen for a backup. I tried the others recommended here but it made me realize how good foreflight really is however there are some good features I saw that I wish foreflight had. Anyway, thx for the suggestions...

Nope, had both carriers for both Apple and Android phones. Androids worked and IPhones couldn’t get a signal. Not a huge deal but thought it was interesting Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

No need. I’m not a fanboy of anything so don’t matter either way to me. Don’t like being dependent on one system where you are trapped to the point you pay whatever they want to charge. Just looking at options. Hell I would like to have my old star tac flip phone back for just a phone however I...

Ok adding wingx to my list to review. I have a Garmin 430w and transponder but it is ADSB out only. I use a Sentry for weather and traffic Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What does FF have that others don’t? I have not used anything except FF. Can you log and track flight time? I just recently quit using paper logs and have been doing everything in FF. I had thought about just keeping an iPhone for backup in case IPad died as I could use the hotspot if needed...

I have been using ForeFlight since 2019. Use it for planning and briefing, radar and traffic through a sentry. My iPhone and IPad are synced with each other so will miss that. I played with a new Android and like it and it gets better signal for phone calls in weak areas but I suppose keeping...

Thinking of switching from iPhone to Android so Foreflight won’t work. What is the best EFB for Android? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a Skybound but Jeppesen prices are a lot higher than Garmin so I’m switching. The way I understand it is I can still get Nav through Garmin since mine is waas but a regular 430 has to go through Jeppesen. Is that not right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking for a Garmin programmer to update my 430w if someone has one they want to sell. Thx Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
