    Two CDI from single nav source?

    Looking for comments and recommendations to clarify my thinking. My current setup is a GNC355 driving CDI #1 and an SL30 driving CDI #2. I just purchased an Aspen E5 that has an HSI and can receive two nav sources without a switch. Some questions: 1. Can the GNC355 drive both cdi#1 and the...

    Dual G5, GFC 500, 2 separate nav sources

    Final planning on a panel upgrade and ran into something I didn't expect - you can't tie 2 different nav sources to a G5 HSI. At least that's what Garmin support told me. There's no source switch on the G5 and you can't place an external switch. So does everyone that has a G5 HSI and 2 nav...

    Leisurely VFR XC to KFFA - logistics?

    2 BT connections on iPad or?

    Trying to figure out what's possible. Currently have an Apareo ESG transponder with the 2i for ADSB-in. This is tied via wifi to an iPad running foreflight so we get traffic. We are planning on a new PS audio panel with Bluetooth and panel mount GPS (either the 175 or 375 - depending on the...

    Why buy new VHF Nav?

    I've been planning a panel upgrade for a few months. The goal is light IFR capability. The plan includes a new audio panel, GPS, and comm plus an indicator (G5, E5, 275, 106b - not sure which). I had planned on keeping my Narco 12D that includes GS and DME. But... the Narco has gotten squirly...

    2nd NAV options?

    20th century called asking for their panel back.... Current panel: KMA 24, Narco 12 w/GS and DME, KX170 no GS, 496, Stratus ESG. The audio and both nav/comms each have a bit of wonkiness. So I'm definitely getting a new audio panel - PAR200 or PMA8000 (plus GTR225), and a GPC355 (plus a CDI...

    Our new (to us) time machine

    Flying for 20 years. Renting the whole time. Some years of really light flying. But finally pulled the trigger. Son loves planes and flying together so this is our time machine. Kids grow up quick. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

    ATC Zero ZNY

    Curious for the folks out in the northeast, what this practically means for localized GA VFR (and IFR I suppose) traffic. Imagine it's the equivalent of LA Center shutting, but even cruising through LA you rarely talk with center unless you go outside SoCal approach/departure. Sent from my...

    Odd(?) stall speeds

    So I was looking through the AMD CH2000 operating manual and found the following MTOW no flap stall speed chart: 0 degrees bank - 48 KIAS 20 degrees bank - 58 KIAS 30 degrees bank - 72 KIAS 45 degrees bank - 104 KIAS VNO is 108 KIAS and max power cruise at 4000' is 102 KTAS. Compared to a 172...
