    Garmin 430W issues

    My 430W popped up a error across the screen today while flying through rough turbulence, something about losing all GPS signal. Should've grabbed a pic, but was a little busy. The ABSB in from my GDL39 was still working, as it was still giving data to my tablet running Pilot. I turned around...

    Garmin Pilot weather...

    Anyone else have a problem with airport weather not appearing in the icon wheel around airports anymore? Connected to wifi, all metar info in recent. Tap on an airport, no weather icon. I've tried restarting the app, rebooting the tablet, clicking the 'Refresh Weather Text' link... no luck.

    Short and soft

    Not something that a guy would normally brag about, but had my best landing in so far this year today. Been working on my approach speeds, and today got it pretty spot on. Touch of throttle, full flaps, wings level, stall horn just starting to squawk all the way on final. Got over the trees at...

    Fog

    What's a good way to predict fog? Living on the seacoast of NH, we've had some pretty thick fog roll in during the mornings and evenings. It didn't show up on any of the forecasting tools I was using, include the NOAA GFA tool. Are there other things I can look at to try to predict when fog...

    Cessna 172 not down in NH today

    Went flying, didn't crash. Landed without incident. No one died. No one else crashed at the airport, either. Or yesterday. Thoughts and prayers and stuff. Sorry for no link to the news, since the local news didn't cover it.

    stereotypes

    I live right outside the downwind leg of a small local, but quite busy, non-towered airport. Basically under the 45 for the 20 runway. While doing yardwork today, hearing a plane at full throttle with the sound changing with airplane pitch, I look up to see a plane doing barrel rolls and other...

    Plane parts... what's it worth?

    I have an exhaust system (muffler and headers) for a Lycoming 0-320 from a Cessna 172M sitting in my garage after a switch to a Powerflow muffler. Want to sell it, but have no idea what its worth. Its in great, used condition. Hoping to cover the cost of new interior bits so my interior doesn't...

    172 replacement

    I have an offer on my plane I wasn't trying to sell, so I find myself in an odd scenario. I like the 172. Very easy to fly, 7-8 gph, and gets in and out of the 2000' home base easily enough. Has a 430w and adsb in/out. Was starting to use it as my IFR trainer. The question is what should I...
