OK - so I can switch the navigator to which the G275 is listening, and thus driving the auto pilot. As well cross full can be turned off. Am I correct that a navigator can’t send a signal to two separate CDIs ( an analogue and the G275 HSI) at the same time?

Thanks for the confirmation. I wonder if you could also send the GTN signal to two different CDIs. But I’m fairly certain you can’t.

Doing some planning, and it includes getting a new GTN 650xi. Would leave the current GNS 430 as second Nav/Com. Would also be getting dual G275 to feed a GFC 500 auto pilot. I understand the GTN and/or GNS feeds the G275, which feeds the AP. I had thought that one can control which one...

Back to the OP Nothing about this hobby is inexpensive. If you can't find a good used LightSpeed/Bose/DC whatever your ultimate pick is, just buy new and get on with the lessons with the benefit of a good ANR head set. Worse case scenario? You quit flying for whatever reason? Sell it on...

FIFY

I also have a portable Stratus ADSB In 3i, which would let me get the ADSB out only version of the Stratus transponder, and just have them used an adaptor kit to install my portable unit

The plane I’m currently looking at has an old 327. I need something with ADSB, preferably one that will play nice with a GTN 650xi. Ironically my IFly can’t talk to Garmin. On second thought, maybe I’ll just get a Stratus transponder which can talk to both ForeFlight and IFly. I’d...

Off day I guess. That deserves to have its own Band of Brothers series ( done right ) .

I'm pricing out a new transponder. I know Canada will require ADSB Diversity (Canada unlike the US won't have ground stations for coverage), but it's rather pricy. I can guarantee I'll never fly into Canada, and I can't imagine it will degrade the value of the plane if I don't have a...

I started with David Clark passive. Didn’t work for me / too loud. Then in-ear Clarity Aloft. Actually turned out to be a hassle sticking those things in the ears, and they occasionally fell out, and the head set kept breaking. That’s when I switched to the Lightspeed headset.

IMHO - yes, absolutely get the the best headset you can. As a student you're learning a lot quickly. Being distracted by noise and vibration will get in the way of your learning process. As a student I started off with a passive headset, and I should have had an ANR day 1. Even if it...

Yeah - it's different than 10 years ago. IMHO - where he / she actually is sitting is irrellevent. What is the pilot accomplishing? How is the mission being managed? The fact the pilot isn't pulling G's or might be shot down doesn't make his/her flying any less noteworthy.

Down right stubbornness.

And transport political candidates. Which I find a bit odd. Political candidates are more "expendable"???? Back to original post. No, you can't. Any hint of holding out - per my review of material for commercial oral - is not allowed. I keep thinking of that kid who wanted to build...
