    G5 Question

    When my dual G5’s were installed I had that problem with the amber and VFR. It was in fact a bad GAD unit. Garmin hooked us up with a new one and has been good since thankfully.

    G5 Question

    Nah that’s normal when in GPSS mode. The heading bug is has an X on it because it’s in GPSS mode. You’re fine no failures.

    Dual G5's vs Aspen Evolution E5 vs Dual GI 275

    Honestly…in a pa28-140 I’d go the cheapest route. I’d install the dual G5’s. You won’t notice the difference between it and the higher priced garmin units if they are not side by side. It’s like 1080p vs 4k. I was at Best Buy with those side by side and still I could barely tell a difference and...

    Turns around a point in a low wing

    Put your reference point just off the wing tip. Imagine a string from your nav light the the point. Same with a S turns when your wing tips meet your line start or finish your turn. I find reference maneuvers waay easier in a low wing.

    How much wind is too much?

    I didn’t read the thread other than your OP. But I’ll say this, as long as your instructor is comfortable and you’re flying with him go in those super windy days. Get discouraged and second guess with him right there and I promise you will be waaay better for it.

    Bahamas Fly-Out Roll Call

    Nope it doesn’t. Haha Funny thing was my wife and I flew from north MS to lake okeechobee and all was good. As soon as we left and got over open water I hear a loud boom in the plane. I freaked for a second and scanned all gauges and all was fine. My wife said the popcorn bag came from together...

    Thinking about a rental property

    Most investors are buying up homes you wouldn’t buy to live in initially without having to put in significant cash for rehab. I have over 60 properties and growing, a lot of my single family homes were complete wreck messes. Buying a turnkey property rarely makes money upfront so I stay away...

    My review - IFR6 and IFLYIFR

    Sounds like a bad experience no doubt, im not discounting that, but you seem to be projecting blame on others. Did you not educate yourself prior to these accelerated course, did you read the ACS, did you have your written accomplished before you stared? Just curious. I went from zero knowledge...

    How do I become a fighter pilot?

    Latest class here nobody wanted fighters and they made a few go that track who didn’t want it. Seems like a different mindset lately…

    Inadvertent ice encounter

    Nah I’ve picked up inadvertent ice a few years back in a 172. Was not forecasted at all and as I was picking it up it got sketch. ATC asked why I stopped climbing at a good rate. I said well I’m picking up ice. Tops weren’t far off they said so I limped it up. Nothing more was ever said and...

    Yay! More beautiful scenery thanks to the world saving EV.

    We recently bought a 2020 Tesla Model X. Flipping sweet car with almost 800hp of utterly quiet acceleration. It’s amazing! Did we buy it to save the planet??? Um nope, I mean I also have a ram 2500 and a scat pack challenger followed by my bonanza so saving the planet is not in my name. But...

    FCC radio license

    Having just went to the Bahamas I can say nobody mentioned or asked for anything pertaining to FCC stuff. Not coming or going. If the OP question even had anything to do with the Bahamas. Haha

    Thoughts on accelerated Instrument training

    Back in 2013 I did the American flyers 10day instrument course. Prerequisite was having the written done. I did sheppardair for that and had that knocked out in no time. Other than the written and what was required in the private I have no other instrument time and I didn’t study anything prior...
