    MOS - Garmin Pilot versus Foreflight Discrepancy?

    As I was trying out GP, I observed the following discrepancies between the MOS information displayed by each app. Foreflight paints a picture of severe weather (thunderstorms and cumulonimbus), while Garmin Pilot reports a low chance of precip. I also notice that the wind and cloud information...

    Weird things with Lightspeed Sierra on pilot jacks

    I usually fly with a Bose A20, but being curious I decided to try out my wife's Lightspeed Sierra. I have noticed two things that I are specific to the Lightspeed Sierra hooked up to the pilot jacks. 1) There is a high-pitched electrical sound in the background at all times. 2) On takeoff, I...

    Foreflight vs FlyQ radar on Map page

    I am a FlyQ user giving Foreflight a shot (tired of waiting for aural traffic alerts). I have to say that I was displeased with the quality of the radar composite and low tilt graphics in Foreflight. I tried using this layer with and without the “4 color” radar option, but it just looks cartoony...

    KI-209 - calibrations only last about 4 months

    I have had my KI-209 calibrated 3 times in the last two years. Each time, the calibrations are good for only 3-4 months before I start getting 10-18 degree deviations only of the VOR. The ILS and glideslope indications are good. Does anyone have any insight or guesses as to why this is...

    Stratus ESG did not squawk altitude yesterday

    Just wondering if anyone has experience this, too. Yesterday, I took off from KMCO, and the controller asked me to recycle my transponder. Sure enough, my transponder was on the ON mode but not squawking altitude. When I pressed the ALT button, it stayed on the ON mode. I then cycled the...

    PIREP: If you have a broken King KCS-55 / KI-525 / KG-102, Robert Bramble is the man!

    The compass card on my King HSI had started to fail over the last year. I would have to toggle it from “slave” to “free” to “slave” multiple times after startup to get it to point to the correct magnetic heading. As I taxied, it would get stuck, requiring me to repeat the sequence. In the...

    @Steve P This is an idea for Steve who works for BK and started a thread a while back stating that they want to attempt to make a comeback. I inherited a KLN94 during my airplane purchase. The truth is that I really like this GPS. Knowing me, I would have picked it over the 430 back in the...

    What’s this white stuff on the spark plugs?

    This white residue was on all of my spark plugs at annual. Is this lead bromide from LOP operations? These plugs were installed after major overhaul and were not changed or cleaned for 100 hours. The first fifty hours consisted of ROP fly-it-like you-stole-it for break-in. The next 50 hours I...

    Any advice on Charlotte area GA?
