This is a Garmin GTX-330 that was recently pulled from my plane as part of an upgrade. It is not an ES model, but is ready for the ES upgrade which would make it 100% ADS-B compliant. It does include TIS-A which shows traffic on a MFD and makes aural traffic call-outs. I have owned it since new...

This 430W was removed from my Bonanza recently as part of an upgrade. I have owned the GPS since new, and it has been in a plane that is always hangared. It was serviced by Garmin several years ago and received a new screen, complete tune, updated firmware and test. Everything works like new...

This is like new and was only used a few times by a B52 pilot. This kit converts a standard Bose X headset for military/helicopter use. It includes a dynamic mic, battery box/controller, coil cord, and single plug. It is in the factory packaging and includes very easy instructions. It is...

My Bonanza can easily take me to visit my clients landing at the major airports in style. It can also take me to some really neat places on a whim for fun. There isn't anything airport like about the Copalis airport on the Washington coast. It is an official state airport (which keeps insurance...

I have heard the phrases "wheels up time" and "flow-control" used before, but haven't paid too much attention since I assumed they wouldn't apply to me. While calling for my clearance today I was told there was flow-control in effect at my destination and asked what my wheels up time would be...

I fly IFR quite a bit, but every once in a while I get a question that stumps me. I was flying from PSC to BFI today and was given an arrival procedure in my clearance that looked like this: PSC V204 YKM V4 CHINS CHINS6 Charts: CHINS6: http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0903/00582CHINS.PDF ILS31L ...

As you may know, I have been in Beijing for a while for the Olympics. I visited the China National Aviation Museum today... I had the hotel call the museum and write down the directions in chinese for may cab driver. No one has heard of this place before (and they couldn't understand why I...

Several years ago I started taking a low dose of Mavik for mild hypertension. I went through all the reporting steps needed to get my medical when it came up. I have since reported it at each annual with no problem. Recently my insurance company insisted that I switch to the generic version...

This has probably been answered, but this system will not let me search for it... I have never used VFR on top, but from what I understand I can request and be issued a clearance for it so long as I maintain VFR at VFR altitudes. My question is this... Over mountainous terrain, can I climb...

Here is something to ponder... My airport (Boeing Field, a 100% GA airport) has recently started charging landing fees to ALL non-based aircraft. As you can imagine, this has caused quite an uproar with the pilot community (another story for another thread). I have been attending the airport...

I have some work in Orlando in March and have never been to that part of the country (I'm in Seattle). I would like to take a few extra days end perhaps explore the Bahamas from the air. Is that feasible? Any suggestions on where I could rent from? Does anyone rent a Bonanza down there...

After months of CT scans, I have finally agreed with my ENT that I need to have endoscopic sinus surgery to clear me out. This goes through the nose. Though it should be quick, I am told that I should plan to take a week off of work to recover. Hopefully this will help with my chronic ear...

I will be working in Anchorage all of October and would like to rent a plane while I am there to check things out. Since I'm only staying a month I don't want to join a club. I fly a Bonanza and it would be great to rent one, but a 182 or even a 172 would be ok. Any suggestions on where to go?

I'm planning my first flight to Alaska from Seattle during the first week in July. I plan to get to Ketchikan and maybe Sitka. I would love information from people that have done this before... - Is simply flying up the inside passage a decent route? - What should I see from the air? - What...

The naval air station at Whidbey Island now offers ASR approaches to a nearby civilian airport. I have practiced flying that approach a couple times and it is pretty interesting and fun. However, none of my instrument training books explain how to properly fly an ASR approach. Yes, they guide...

I have a new to me Garmin 430W (WAAS version) that will give course guidence through holds and proceedure turns. Yesterday I was practicing with it and loaded the VOR 16R approach to PAE with PAE as the IAF. When getting close to the PAE VOR I wanted to do a couple turns around the hold as...

I am working for the next several months in Stamford, CT. and already miss my Bonanza and flying. I am curious if there are any members in the area that might be looking for an occasional passenger for that coffee or burger. I am more than happy to pay may share, and always happy to return the...
