    How Does MoGas work?

    Eligible engines/airframes can run on both. You can mix the two gases together. Note that mogas has a significantly shorter shelf life than mogas (or so the conventional wisdom goes). Many engines and pilots prefer no lead if/when available. If it helps, I have a little runabout 150. It had...

    How Does MoGas work?

    To my knowledge, all planes that are allowed to use Mogas are authorized by STC only (i.e. no legacy aircraft allows mogas in the TCDS). There are two major STC providers, one is EAA, the other Peterson. The STC providers tested many different airframes. Those that passed generally got an STC...

    ADS-B Dilemma for Owners of Class A-Capable Airplanes

    I don't mean to imply that that the services are silly. I mean that the top of the line unit (GTN-750) is only offered with a UAT (sub-18,000 "out") ADS unit (the GDL88). Adding 1090 ES capability to the GTN-750 (for use over FL180) ads another $3,000-4,000 on top of the $4,000 GDL88. A...

    How frequently does ADS-out transmit? In/Out confusion?

    This type of question has probably been asked many times. I've spent hours searching trying to find the answers to this and other questions but am left wanting for an answer. I'm sorry if this is a FAQ... Example scenario: If I install a KT74 ADS-B "out" transponder and couple it to an approved...

    ADS-B Dilemma for Owners of Class A-Capable Airplanes

    I agree that this could be the case. If so, it would decrease the demand for ATC services, thus decreasing the govt costs for those services. I would opine that user fees are thus less likely to be implemented shortly after everyone is ADS equipped as AOPA et al can argue correctly that users...

    Garmin Connext: Can it help a GNS be a GTN?

    Thanks all for the replies. My "issue" with the GTN series is primarily that the integrated systems are fairly non-cost effective (assuming you wanted to realize the benefit of the larger display). The GTN's integrated ADS-B, transponder, audio-panel, XM weather system receiver are all more...

    Garmin Connext: Can it help a GNS be a GTN?

    Greetings, first post here. I am behind the times and have been considering finally breaking down and buying a Garmin WAAS Nav/Com. I don't have experience with either the GNS or GTN series. From what I can tell, the GNS seems to offer everything that the GTN does, except that the GTN has a...
