    Garmin GTN 750 remote audio panel issue

    I've got an identical setup in my Cirrus (Sarasota Avionics did my install). Did you call your shop that did the work and ask them for support with this? If you don't get what you need I can get you in touch with the guys that installed my setup .

    Learning the "old way"

    I got my ticket 1 year ago last month, and I did it all in a steam gauge Cessna 172. Paper maps instead of digital, etc. Fast forward 1 year: Those items you listed are now things I consider important for flights into unknown areas and busy terminal areas. being able to know without...

    Incident at Tampa International

    Flying over Tampa International today my wife noticed the emergency responders out on the runway. Did anyone hear anything about what had happened? I've not seen anything on the local news... she snapped a picture from 3500. Looks like there was foam out on the runway, maybe a gear up landing?

    Cirrus v. Bonanza

    Yeah, I was in a similar situation. I ended up purchasing an early model SR20, just over $100k. I opted for the SR20 as most of my flying right now is in Florida, though going out of state isn't a huge deal (I'd save about 30-45 minutes flying from Tampa to Texas in an SR22) but I'm also...

    Let's talk about flying in the mountains.

    I flew from Florida to Vegas with about 100 hours, dragging an experienced pilot along with me as a safety-chute in my SR20. Flying over the mountains in Arizona wasn't an issue, but coming back it got really scary as we started to not only pickup ice that wasn't forecasted, we hit rapidly...

    For those who don't fly for a living...

    I've done this. I'll call ahead before traveling to the area, schedule a flight with a local flight school and just enjoy learning something new from the area. I've yet to go up with an instructor and not learn something, nor feel like I didn't get my money worth of the time in the...

    Just some questions

    A few super conservative numbers as i found them last year getting my PPL. - Budget at least $15k to get this done. If you fly more frequently and have aptitude it could be as cheap as $7-10k if you fly something that's relatively inexpensive like a C172. - Give yourself 6-9 months to...

    Local area Tampa Flying

    Playing around with my GoPro camera I strapped it to the bottom of my Cirrus. I love watching videos of people flying, but just be warned... there is nothing exciting nor overly interesting about this flight... just the under-wing of my very old (in Cirrus Years) and a view of a great area to...
