    Is there an ADS-B NOTAM System?

    I was having a similar problem in Denver. I emailed the avionics check address and my report came back that everything was working great. They looked further that I was requesting AbS-in data on the uat frequencies but they were not sending it back to me. They have opened an internal ticket...

    Aviation IT

    I had a friend in Seattle that was a IT tech support guy for Paul Allen and got to fly around with him in his 757 everywhere he went making sure his systems always worked and he had secure connectivity. Don't think there are a lot of jobs like that out there though. Sent from my iPad using...

    Airplane With No Paperwork On the Avionics

    Do you have a 430 or 430w? what are the other avionics. If it is a 430w, there is an STC and many IAs could simply write up the 337 after verifying it was installed and configured per the STC. He will just need the appropriate manuals and docs. A garmin dealer would have the needed paperwork...

    Gps backup

    I had a 16 gig and it just fit everything. If you want any storage left for other things get the 32 gig. Also if you only load a 10 states or less the 16 would be fine. It depends if you want it for aviation alone or general purpose plus aviation. Also if you get the cellular version (even...

    Cherokee 140/160

    go for a 180 or 235 if you can afford it. I moved out to Denver from Seattle with a Cherokee 140 with the 160 STC. Sold it and bought a 235 the first year I was out here. Love the 235. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Tom, Thanks for monitoring the concerns of pilots regarding AOPA. I started as a giant supporter for AOPA when I became a member 10 years ago. After Phil left, my impression has been that it has become more of elitist org and less concerned with the wants and concerns of the average pilot...

    Used autopilot question

    it can be a challenge though. If the make and model of the AP you want to install was an option on the original equipment list of your aircraft and you can get the installation instructions, it can be installed without a STC. If not you Wll need an STC from the manufacturer. If you have an...

    Transponder giving incorrect pressure alt readings

    Your superclock should be connected to the same encoder lines as your transponder. It should show exactly what your transponder is transmitting. It should also read the same as your altimeter if you set the altimeter to 29.92. If it is not I would first suspect a wiring issue to the...
