    avionics upgrade

    I think I read somewhere online that it is not officially TSO even though they exceed the requirement for it. And you are the first person that might seems to be suggesting otherwise. I was looking at their stuff for a while there and seems to be good products. Was actually considering buying it...

    avionics upgrade

    Say if I was going to try to sell my plane to find something else. What do you guys think I can get out of it? basically I have the mx12 that works with indicator that needs to be calibrate. Audio works fine I just thought that since I am doing all this, might as well upgrade that too. DME works...

    avionics upgrade

    i think with all the adsb going on all the shops are way booked. luckily i found a&p i can work this with and ill be helping him out a lot so hopefully the labor won't kill me. the thing about going with the 255 is that i would need to find a garmin dealer and prices around here are not very...

    avionics upgrade

    So Should I just not do the adsb yet and get a cheaper audio panel instead like a KMA24?

    avionics upgrade

    I did read it and it sounds like they are saying "you will be fine, but you didn't hear it from us". again, being fairly new to the game makes me not want to interpret this kind of thing myself very much.

    avionics upgrade

    That's why I don't know if I should just put it the bare minimum on this and try to sell it while I'm working on my ifr or I should get it somewhat decent nd keep it for a couple years.

    avionics upgrade

    I hear you, that's why I'm not even going to get close to 430. the unit alone is already over the top then I have labor too. I keep hearing people telling me don't do old gps so I guess I didn't really look into it. So If I were to go that route, looking at the price of kln94, would it be better...

    avionics upgrade

    that's a tough question that i have yet be able to answer. so im trying not to go nuts on this upgrade. that is why i ruled out the 430 and anything higher since they are quite expensive. on the other hand i still would like to be able to do gps approach if i could do it with reasonable$$$...

    avionics upgrade

    in that case. do you think 480w would be a good option considering garmin will stop supporting it in less than half a year? if it is i would jist skip the sl30 since 480 is a gps/nav/com then get indicator for it

    avionics upgrade

    I am planning on removing all the adf related stuff anyway. I was actually looking at Val's stuff but I thought I can't use it since it's not TSO. If I go this route I'd still need to get a com unit and the VOR I have 1 is not working(not sure if it's because of the nav/com being down or not)...

    avionics upgrade

    I usually get notification to my email when someone reply to the post but for some reason I didn't see so I thought this post was dead for a while. So, my plane being 160hp is not so bad. I flew her back from tennesse to KLGB and climbed to 120FL at one point in august which was quite...

    avionics upgrade

    That's my concern too. Trying to ffind the right balance between too much and too little. I won't be trying to put g1000 in there that's for sure. But at the same time this plane will stay with me for quite a while so I'd like to put something in that would be practical for my mission, which...

    Looking for a trainer

    Yea me too but I in order to fly a lot using my own money I’d have to work full time to be able to afford it for 2 years. Planning on minimum 6 but I think I can hit 10-12 pretty easily if I just do xcountry a few days a week. Good excuse to get away from everything too lol

    Looking for a trainer

    Even if I plan on getting a tail wheel, citabria would be way out of budget. The reason I don’t want to buy tw is because most of them comes with vfr panel and if I buy them I can only use it for my ppl and time building. Right now I’m about to solo so I don’t see much send into buying one now...

    Looking for a trainer

    That’s why I am budgeting my cost for the plane real low so I have reserve for if something happen right as soon as I sign the paper. I could get a low time plane but I would have no reserve for emergency. If something happen I’d have to wait a couple months before I can get it up and running...
