Does anyone have any more recent purchase/install experiences with a GFC500, and order wait times? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Coincidentally yesterday I heard a pilot discussing with the FBO manager the Amex card issue he was having at our pumps. Seems that the actual hardware at the pump won’t read his “metal” card, but he can come inside and the manager will process it for him if he’s there. Manager said it costs...

A Bo has always been what I wanted to step up to, and possibly could afford one. However, since it’s complex/high performance and I’m about to turn 70 it’ll be off limits due to how the insurance companies are upping fees for them now. I’ll be sticking to my fixed gear Sundowner. Sent from...

I use the aera660 and 760, and they are far superior displays than the iPad mini I use. The 660 is hardwired to power and the GTX345, so it’s getting all the adsb data from the 345.. I like the iPad mini a lot , but as many have discussed above the screen is a handicap in flight, and the new...

Basic Med does not work for any professional and commercial flying endeavors. Nor does the 3rd class either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Les, I’ve never had that problem with my Sundowner! I can do slow flight with 1 notch of flaps as low as 56 kts and it’s only losing altitude at <100 fpm. No tendency to roll, but obviously high angle of attach. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I agree about the dynamic balancing, if it’s available. I’ll add that I recently had what I thought was shimmy ( on my Beechcraft), I jacked the nose wheel up enough to spin the tire, and it turned out to be about 3/8” out of round. The tire was almost new. Installed a new tire and problem...

Try that and make a slide out 2x4 on top of the bolted ones to extend beyond the door during use. Then slide them back in to close door. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Does that include the Garmin 430w? Or just the more recent Garmin radios? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
