Is there a iPad mini 5 holder that magnetically attaches to a suction cup mount? I currently have a RAM roller mount on a RAM suction cup mounted to the center of my Navion’s windscreen. I want something that I can just grab the iPad and pull it down in front of me to change a setting or bring...

Yes I have a mini with GP as well This last we weren’t using the mini to see if we could use just the panel mounted boxes. We were just curious as to how it was supposed to work.I can pull up approach plates on the Aspen or the iPad so that’s not a real issue.

I have that feature but you have to bring up the chart by pushing buttons and zooming in. It doesn’t come up automatically as far as I can tell. And you only get the AFD diagram of the airport from what I have seen.

I have some questions on the Garmin safe taxi feature. Does it show up on a 650xi screen or is it just a Garmin Pilot feature? If it does come on the 650 are there any user settings that control when it comes on and how large or zoomed in does the screen automatically go to or do you have to...

I actually got a pair of a foggle type of glasses on Amazon that work well over my eyeglasses. They even come with the handy IFR cheat card. So far they are working well for me.

Very possible there are 2 systems. I was told to look for a golden hockey puck thing that had a static line and a single wire coming out of it. I did not find that under my panel so it may be in the aft fuselage. The Navion has 2 static ports on either side of the fuselage about half way back on...

Was flying with my CFII to shoot some AP coupled approaches yesterday. While cruising down to the airport we were shooting the approaches we leveled off at 2000’ and engaged the HDG and then the ALT modes. Heading seemed to be steady but the plane immediately pitched over and startied diving. We...

Thx for the response. We wondered about a reception hole. I just had a comm antenna and coax ending replaced last month. Last month I had no issue talking on 134.45. I will try again this week to see if it’s still an issue. I got new radios coming next year but I want to be able to continue my...

Is it possible for an old MK-12D to lose Xmit capability in a certain frequency range? Last week on a IFR training flight we tried to contact Houston Approach on 134.45 several times on both of my MK-12Ds and got crickets. Not even a standby even though we could hear them chatting away with...

Good point. I see many planes with a 750 & 650 setups so I figured a backup GPS would be a good option. Currently the top Narco is connected to the Aspens and the lower unit is connected to its original CDI to the left of the Aspens. The Aspen can take 2 digital Nav inputs but only 1 analog...

I was considering another GPS/ Navcom just to have a backup GPS and a replacement Navcom with GS for ILS when and if the other Narco craps out. Since I have the Garmin 375 GPS navigator and know it’s buttonology I didn’t think adding a Avidyne would make sense. Do most folks think having a...

Well one of mymold Narco MK-12Ds is finally biting the dust. The orange displays are failing fast. This just started in the past 3 weeks. It’s still useable for AWOS but I need to look for replacement options. I recently upgraded the panel in my Navion with Aspen 2000 Pro Max displays and GNX...

Thx. I will see if they have one they can install.

My avionics shop will probably tell me to quit Xmitting on #2 or buy a new radio. But I will see if they can install a notch filter. If that just a install on the bayonet fittings or do they have to measure and adjust some sort of a pot to clear up the frequencies?

This response nailed it. On my Comm2 radio between 120-122 frequencies when I push the PTT it completely kills the GPS. All of them like a light switch. It didn’t occur on Comm 1 but we could see some slight decrease in some of the green bars. So with old Narco MK12D is the solution new radios...

On my Navion the GPS antenna is a few inches aft of the closed canopy on the R side. The VHF com antenna is a few inches farther aft on the L side. The ELT antenna (old school 121.5 only) is slightly behind that on the R side and further aft on the R side are the 2 RSMs for the Aspen 2000 Pro...

I will try that. Never heard of that before. Thx.

That’s good to know. Hopefully it is just the antenna. My avionics shop can replace that easy enough.

I got the GNX 375 installed a year ago and I am seeing more and more random GPS dropout failures as I fly around near Houston, TX. I usually notice it when the SYN Vis and magenta line on my Aspen displays goes away. I noticed it again a few days ago shooting approaches into Galveston...

I was wondering if the dimming was heat or sunlight related. I can just walk out of my house i to the sun light and the screen goes dark. I was trying to avoid buying a xnaut cooling mount if possible but that may be the only real solution.
