There are a few Cheetahs at Aspen at Centennial. Maybe inquire with the instructors there and get their opinion. Better yet, go fly them and see for yourself?

I used to own a Cirrus w G1000. I had the GTX345R and a FS210 installed. Worked great. No surprises. No complaints. I am aware that the FS510 will work with the G1000 NXi so the upgrade path is simpler than with a legacy G1000.

When first landing, you may not have enough weight on the nose to depress the squat switch. I assume you are using aerodynamic braking, pulling yoke back. A couple things to experiment with is to hold aircraft off a bit longer and touch down with less airspeed so the elevator has less...

Agree with this. Great culture there. Lots of folks actually hanging out at the airport anytime the sun is shining, which seems to happen a lot in Denver. It doesn’t seem to matter whether it is a weekend or weekday. If the sun is shining, the place opens up. The long timers there had...

Thanks for the advice. I actually ended up over at CFO. I spent some time trying to understand the personality of KAPA and decided that CFO fit my expectations a bit better. What I did at CFO was to print up about 200 letters and had my kids run around and slide them under the hangar doors...

Hello! I have a Glasair (low wing) that needs a hangar and I am interested in finding something at APA or CFO. We ended up moving from Dallas this summer and live south of Denver by about 20 miles. Anticipating this move, I put my name on the hangar wait list last year at Centennial only to...

Hi folks, I pulled the trigger on this a few months ago, but it looks like we are now going to be moving houses --- my wife and I and our kids are no longer going to be able to attend Sun 'n Fun this year. We had originally booked our reservation to attend from Wed, April 1st, checking out on...

Walboy, they seem to be one of the more cost efficient accelerated programs out there. Any feedback on the experience there? I’m happy to message you directly if you’d prefer.

The guy was going to fly but then changed his mind after he was confronted stating he was not in the right state of mind. That could have been a bad outcome for all involved.

Would be great to get a hold of a book like that. It is definitely a world of confusion. It took me a while to understand “Garmin” boxes when I took on the challenge of installing a full Garmin suite in my experimental. What may be useful is to look over the CANBUS layout in the G3x Touch...

If it is a Flightstream, just pull it out. You don’t need it if you have a GDL88 or the GTX345.

I hangar at Addison and agree with Salty — don’t land here. It isn’t GA friendly. The only thing it has going for it is its proximity to my house. If I was going cross-country anyway, I would look for an airport away from the Bravo airspace — Hotel/motels/fuel will all be cheaper. I’ve...

Got it. It must be a BT issue if you have had this working before. Are both 750s showing traffic? Or just one? When you connect your BT now, what is the name of the device you are connecting to in BT settings — is is GTX345jdnmk-838, or Flightstream blah,blah?

You have weather (and traffic?) on the GTN already? I believe there are only two devices currently that will show traffic on the GTN: the GDL88 or the GTX345 (or if exp aircraft then also the GTX45R). If it is a GTX345, it should work out of the box. You’d need to connect to if over BT...

I think I have an Ameriking unit in my hangar collecting dust. I will check tomorrow and let you know.

Mike, nice RV-14A. Great looking bird. Another point for your friend -- the full DB update in a "onepak bundle" is priced at $799 per year and this is US + geo-referenced plates on the 750 and G3x. Without geo-referenced plates, it is $648. If you already are using Foreflight/GPilot for...

Interesting question for sure. Given that the AoA essentially reads from 0 to X pressure, I'd assume any configuration can be flown assuming that the position of the pitot is per guidance. They give a range in their installation guide of something like no further back than 1/3 of the chord...

The AoA from GAP26 does require an AoA pressure line. It will have 3 ports that are plumbed (one additional on top of your existing static and pitot lines). For me, it wasn’t a straight forward replacement because of this, which is why I am mentioning it. Also, it may not be clear from the...

The only DB that needs to be current at a min for IFR flight should be the GTN750. As also said by a prior poster, the G3x map screens are for situational awareness (VFR) and whether they are current or not, doesn’t matter for VFR. For VFR, frankly, altitude, airspeed, and heading are really...

No one used to have any negative feedback about packaging back in the day either. Maybe this is the solution?
