Ryan, I never inferred you didn't understand how these AHRS unit worked. You made that inference. The point of my post is that a iced over pitot failure is not an Aspen or Garmin failure, it is a airframe failure mode that if dealt with corrects the AHRS issue. The difference between my flying...

Unfortunately, most pilots don't have a solid understanding of AHRS technology and the failure modes. And the "red-X" is one of those areas. All AHRS driven units (G500, Aspen, etc.) use a combination of inputs (pitot static, GPS, etc.) to create the AHRS depiction. And it is the reason they...

I would slow down sooner. I am working with a new Mooney owner who is transitioning from a Cherokee. He is flying the Mooney 20 knots faster than his brain can handle. There are a lot of tasks to single pilot IFR and getting a little more time pays dividends. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks Bruce for checking. I guess there will be a number of rescheduled medicals until it gets resolved. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I've been trying all day to log-in to setup a third class medical and the site keeps hour glassing and then timing out. Anyone else having problems getting into the site? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Why not use iBook and do the iOS backup? I have all my POH manuals on iBooks stored in a folder with my plane's N number. It shares across devices and is backed up with iTunes or the iCloud. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It is a great airport. It is on the list as N14. The swimming pool is shaped like an airplane.

I believe the "Nav" one is the one you are looking for. The Safe Taxi will add the runway layouts, terrain &'obstacles will update stuff on the ground like new wind farms and the FliteCharts are needed if you use it for approach plates. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/prod31378.html

PA is now exempt from taxes on aviation related services. Was passed about a year ago. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What always gets me is the airway to airway intercept without an intersection. Anyone have an idea why they do that? If it is an ATC route preference, don't you think it would make sense to throw an intersection bone out there for us "magenta line lemmings"? [emoji851] Sent from my iPad using...

I agree as well. I flew under IFR for 21 years before I switched my steam only plane to a glass cockpit. There was a transition period of weaning myself off of steam. For some reason the altimeter to altitude tape transition was easier than the ASI to airspeed tape. Now I find that I rarely look...

Bob -- what are you trying to figure out? You will need to know who flys with glass alone to get the percentages. ?? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It might be an east coast issue but it has done it from New York State to North Carolina. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks. I have reseated the antenna a few times and the battery pack as well. Nothing seems to make a difference; position, whether on aircraft power or using the reset function. Strange one. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Since you guys are the most active forum I can find on GP, have any of you who own the original GDL-39 experience a momentary dropping out of the traffic? My started doing this about 4 or 5 months ago. Flying along, the traffic indicators will momentarily show disconnect. The same thing if I...

Excellent. Keep'em coming! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I thought Tom Callahan also does exams in this area. He is based in NJ but I know he has done check rides at my airport (N57) which as you know is just north of KILG. Might want to check to see if he does CFI exams. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yes they did. It's called a C-17. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I wonder if the Sandia unit is certified yet. The same for the Bendix King unit. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
