    Jepp Subscription costs with Garmin vs Avidyne glass

    I searched and found nothing so... for those that fly primarily in the east/middle Atlantic states, is there a cost difference in what it takes to keep the nav and airport databases current with these two platforms? It's really hard (for me) to figure out by just looking at the Jepp website...

    What documentation to take to AME for a"healed" ulcer

    For any AME on the forum >>> Doc… I know that the FAA gets a bit concerned about certain conditions such as – in my case – an ulcer bleed. I had a surprise ulcer bleed last October (with hospitalization), as a result of my stupidly taking 2 full strength aspirins every day for several months...

    Avidyne's new IFD 550

    For anyone else, like me, considering swapping out their Garmin 430/530 pair with Avidyne "440/540" units, I just found out about Avidyne's IFD 550. It can do synthetic vision functions like their Entegra R9 big sibling. They keep adding a lot of the R9 functions to the IFD boxes...

    Android Tablets in the Cockpit

    Clearly iPads have the mind share these days but there are terrific Android tablets in the 7" to almost 10" range in price ranges that are a lot better than the Apple products. There have been a number of threads here discussing iPad choices... mini or full size. But I can't find a current...

    "Homemade ADSB" Receiver (link)

    If I am violating any forum rules, the mods can delete this post. Sorry..... There is a hot thread on the Piper Forum where folks are successfully building their own ADSB receivers. Wish they had posted it here to get more coverage. http://www.piperforum.com/showthread.php?t=7005

    Yet another Flight Planning link to save

    Always being aware that we are navigating in a river of air, here is a good link that helps us see what we're working with...:wink2: or against. :( https://www.windyty.com/K20N?700h,2015-10-18-21,41.989,-73.965,9 -- this view centered on K20N (for search you have to include the "K" prefix)...

    PORTABLE Tugs or "helpers"

    For a Piper Saratoga fixed-gear, does anyone have a recommendation for anything like a REDLINE SIDEWINDER that will work with nose gear wheel pants? Thanks,

    Head-to-head: Foreflight, Garmin Pilot, FlyQ ???

    There are references to all these EFB products all over this forum but I could not find any head-to-head comparisons. I have been using Seattle Avionics "Voyager" products for a couple of years but since they retained FlyQ when AOPA did not continue it, for that reason alone, I may get an...

    Purchasing and "Pricing"

    I hate to post dumb questions but here goes another.... As a Realtor, it is relatively easy for me to "price" a house or a commercial property -- primarily because there are "comparables" available to me. With planes, we have a couple of tools but no public records of "sold prices" to draw on...

    Lycoming TIO-540-AK1A -- Compressions

    There's just not enough info that I can find to tell me whether I am a 'worry wart' or whether cylinder-cylinder differences (above 70/80) are a non-issue. I was reviewing logs for a purchase candidate and found the following: Last year's annual was at at 142.5 hours. Compressions at that...

    Going to the dogs!!!

    Well, not really.... I am looking to purchase a Skylane this year and I want to carry my 60# Golden Retriever, Cami, in the back seat, when my wife and I travel to see the kids and grandkids. There are lots of goodies that I can buy: "earmuffs" for hearing protection; a harness to keep her...

    Garmin GTN-series PC trainer - Windows 7

    This is an awesome piece of software but on Windows 7 oooooh so sensitive. Any interrupt while it is running, like getting an e-mail and it "crashes." Has anyone else experienced this and figured out a workaround? :confused: Thanks!
