    Troubleshooting 232/429 issues on 530/430

    History: We installed the 345/430 a couple of years ago but have been experiencing the communication issue on the 530 since shortly after install. It is annoying but since we fly with iPads, the lack of traffic on the 530 isn't an issue for us. As you can see it is all Garmin so I hope we can...

    Apps helping uninformed whiners complain to the FAA?

    So I made the mistake of joining "Nextdoor" which is on par with the political/emotional debates that made me leave Facebookz. I am certain that in other areas of the county you have the same type of folks that complain about airport noise. Now we have apps like flight radar to prove that...

    Supervised TruTrak AP install questions

    We are looking to go the owner install route and under supervision of our IA. Looking through the install manual and it appears to be pretty straightforward. So far the only changes to the airframe I see are drilling out three rivets in the L-aileron. The quote was around $9K installed but the...

    Seaplane Rating Complete

    It has been a while since I took a checkride. It was a challenging rating requiring attention to detail, precision and patience, three things I lack... Also there was an inordinate amount of time spent on my weak areas, crosswinds, landings and crosswind landings. I would do it again.

    430W approach fail inside FAF RNAV 33 KFNL

    Instructing last week and we were flying approaches in the thunder turd (Arrow). On the RNAV 33, inside the FAF the 430W said to abort the approach. Anybody else have this experience at FNL? This 430 is quirky, it loses navigation during taxi, after reboot it is fine until you land, then it...

    R182 and GFC500 STC (finally)

    Our R182 "Gertie" had a little plastic surgery over the holidays, a little nip/tuck if you will. Added two G5's and removed the vacuum system. So far I am amazed, the price was right, they integrate nicely with the GMA350/GNS530/GNS430/GTX345. Now we have put parts money down for a GFC500 and...
