This might be a peculiarity with my (somewhat dated) GNS480 - but it's a stellar unit that I love. When I am crossing our local B to or from my home airport, about 50% of the time I'll get vectors through the B and the other 50% I'll get "proceed direct XXX" with XXX being a DME only fix. The...

I have a couple of questions about database updates for this combination. New to me plane (and avionics). I surprisingly like the GNS480 interface and the GMX200 feels shockingly modern for how old it is. I'm pretty sure there are several versions of the GMX200, but mine has traffic, XM...

Have a deal looking likely in the Seattle area (north side of town) on a really nice M20F. Aircraft has a fresh annual, good pedigree, and no red flags in the logs. Ideally looking for a mechanic with some Mooney experience, but just about any A&P will do that can focus on corrosion, tanks, and...

Flew my wife and I down to Nashville for a great weekend of music and landed at KJWN. SUPER busy airport for a Friday arrival. Was told to expect the RNAV2 early on by Nashville Approach. Wound up playing the vector game for 20 mins while a bunch of PJs landed. There were 3-4 GA aircraft in the...

I can't believe I don't know this - or can even find a discussion on the topic. With a NEW avionics purchase of a Garmin GTN (in the USA), does Garmin include/ship the units with *any* data? By data, I mean, a basemap, navigation data, obstacle, safe taxi, or terrain. I'm lining up install now...

Gauging folks here that do this for a living - or have experience installing a Garmin GTN in an "all Garmin" panel. My S-LSA Tecnam is all Garmin (twin G3X Touch, Garmin autopilot, com, nav, audio panel, etc.). I have the legal docs I need from the manufacturer for the installation, which can be...

I *almost* called Center today when I got home - but figured I'd check in with the braintrust here at POA. Flew IFR into an uncontrolled airport (uneventful). Dropped a family member off. Pretty rural area, so I called bluetooth on the ramp and got my clearance for my trip back home. Easy...

Calling any avionics experts for help/clarification. I have a Tecnam P2008T (factory built S-LSA). I've been having trouble with avionics companies - in my opinion, just unfamiliarity with S-LSAs. I *DO* have the factory provided Letter of Authorization (LOA) from Tecnam headquarters...
