    IFR departure KSMO

    There's more than 1 clearance on that clip. Another is at 5:22 and one more at 25:40. And there's more than 1 clip on LiveATC. ;)

    Will Garmin up their game to 12” displays?

    But then how would they be able to upsell you on a G500Txi?

    Not a local, but have you tried consulting LiveATC.net? https://archive.liveatc.net/ksmo/KSMO3-Gnd-Apr-23-2024-1630Z.mp3

    New Transponder - Diversity?

    So you're saying Garmin has diversity but not equity and inclusion?

    Headset Evaluation

    15 minutes with rubbing alcohol will get that rubberized coating off. I hate rubberized plastic coating. Behind the copilot seat is where I keep mine. If there's a passenger there, I always brief on keeping stuff (including spare batteries) handy.

    Garmin 215

    Nice! It goes so well with the GNX375 that I almost didn't see it. My only concern is that the menu button is squeezed in pretty tight between the two knobs. I suppose that isn't really something that is pressed all that often, though.

    A barbecue adventure, the saga unfolds.

    Sounds like the equivalent of an ATP in the BBQ world.

    the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

    That's gotta be one heck of a pothole.

    Second GPS Unit

    GTN650 + INS429 is probably the most cost effective way of fulfilling the requirement and still have a complete panel. I don't know how Canada feels about non-TSO equipment, though (USA is OK with it as long as the installer is OK with it).

    A new panel with only GPS navigation for IFR flying

    What make/model are the existing radios? Would be helpful to know if they are NAV/COM versus separate NAV+COM.

    A new panel with only GPS navigation for IFR flying

    Why would you want to remove the old NAV/COMs? You'll still need COM radios, so why not leave them in? What would you replace them with?

    Garmin Aera 760 released

    That's my difference between updates over WiFi vs updates while tethered to a computer. When tethered to a computer, the download only takes a few seconds but then the transfer (over USB) takes several minutes, followed by the actual installation. Over WiFi, it downloads, verifies and then...

    Why are Rotax engines limited to 150/160hp?

    MQ-9 Reaper has a 900hp turboprop, so maybe not.

    New paint scheme - opinions

    :yeahthat: :yeahthat: Side note, I'm not a fan of red on horizontal surfaces (top of cowl). Sometimes fades at a different rate than vertical surfaces. I suppose that can be mitigated somewhat by taking good care of the paint.

    Upgrading Saratoga panel

    I can understand a few cases. One in particular: 1. Someone put in a GNX375 during the 2020 ADS-B mandate. Satisfies the requirement, adds traffic/weather and enables LPV approaches 2. Legacy autopilot goes kaput and owner decides to replace it with a GFC500 3. However, GNX375 doesn't do VPATH...

    Which torque wrench?

    My rear brakes wanted a torque value plus 90 degrees. I used my bendy-beam torque wrench, marked the bolt with a Sharpie and then finished by lining up the marks with my ratchet. I wonder if this car is going to kill me now.

    Which torque wrench?

    That sort of race day usage sounds like a good fit for the split beam type: Get a torque reading quickly and without looking, unlike a bendy beam type. Don't have to reset to zero to avoid coil spring memory, unlike a clicky micrometer type. Don't have to worry about the weather, unlike a...

    Which torque wrench?

    This one from 2 years ago? Looks like he only reviewed the coil spring type and not the bendy beam, split beam or digital.

    Garmin Aera 760 released

    The 660 takes about an hour to do a monthly update over WiFi and about 12 minutes when tethered to a computer. How long does the 760 take to do a monthly database update?
