Good evening, I have a Cessna 182P and for the second time in 9 months, the alternator circuit breaker popped after having the pitot heat turned on. The 15amp pitot heat breaker did not pop. The alternator breaker is a 60amp breaker and it popped after having the pitot heat on for about 20...

So, Here I am at 3500’ MSL in my 182P, at cruise, just a hair rich of peak, on a day where the OAT is +3c, and the oil cooler has been “taped over”. Why is the oil temp so low? I’m assuming the pressure is high because of the low oil temp. I’ve been told it may be a bad vernatherm. Has...

I would think that a glideslope antenna from 1977 wouldn’t work as well as something more modern?

Greetings, In the very near future, I’m going to be swapping out the old MAC 1700 navcomms for a 430W and a KX-155 (w/ gs) on my Arrow III. It is during that time I plan on replacing the old comm and nav antennas with new ones. My question is what specific model should I replace the comm...

I’m definitely interested in a fly-in! I’m based at KMGJ (Orange County Airport, NY).

Kent, Thank you for your post! That is exactly what I was looking for, as far as info for the two! I pretty much did have my mind made up for a Garmin package but now you’ve piqued my interest in the Dynon stuff. Thanks again for your great post!

I currently have the standard round dials with Mac Nav/comms, Century IIb autopilot, older King audio panel, KT76a, inop GX55 GPS. My budget is about 40k. I’d like to get a new Garmin package to include audio panel, GTN650, new nav/comm, new ADSB transponder, and G5 stay ADI. Also, once the...

Thanks Raymo. Unfortunately I have to go with the certified stuff in my Piper Arrow. It looks like both the Dynon and Garmin certified are priced roughly the same. John

Greetings all, I’m in the market to upgrade my ‘77 Arrow III outdated avionics/round-dials. What’s the general consensus as to one over the other? Looking forward to any advice. Thanks! John
