Plane is overdue for pitot static check. Leave transponder off, stay out of the mode C vail etc. Turn Tailbeacon on but it won’t work without transponder. Legal to fly anywhere a transponder/ADSB is NOT required. Or turn off Tailbeacon and placard inop. Going to go make popcorn now.

Anyone have a source for tolerances? Used ISO 1940 G40 for balancing. It comes out to a little less than an oz in for an 11lb tire wheel assembly @ 120 MPH. Can’t find any spec for runout.

Suppose you loose the CDI tied to your 430. How do you set the OBS in the 430? There is supposed to be a OBS page but I can’t find it.

Need a new watch. Had a the original D2 Air but didn’t like it for the reasons below. Been running a Vivoactive 3 for the last three years. X10 questions: Can it be set for the display to be always on? They are supposed to turn on when you roll your wrist to read them but the original never...

ForeFlight Checklist Is there a way to convert the binary to text or XML to edit in notepad++ or something? I have a large custom set of checklists and an iPad sucks for data entry.

Anyone who owns a GFC500 take this course and recommend it?

AITA to make a deal about this? Shop has run an extension cord across the taxiway to heat a diesel truck parked across from the hangers. The taxiway is the short way for me to get out. The other way can be blocked at times too. Strung out at the airport.

Snap on ACR’s are $4.50 each but back ordered. I got to open up my 182 for her IA, only about 2,000 screws to pull and bag. Any recommendations?

Does anyone know of a device to replay ACT instantly as needed? Something like what PSE and Garmin offer in their audio panels. I’ve tried Stratus Horizon Pro and Lightspeed FlightLink but the both are a POS and don’t wok with iPad Air 2, 4, or iPhone 12. I’d be open to an app too. Thanks

A few loops of the roll servo cable on a GFC500 has come off the pulley. Cable is crossed over itself in a few places, looks pretty ugly. If the cable gets hung up the ailerons travel will be limited or frozen. Shop is going to fix it but I doubt they’ll report it. I’ll ask them to, but if...

But does record me when I speak. Audio cable from headset to iPad. No Bluetooth connection. iPad mini 4 with lighting adapter. iPad Air 4 with USB-C adapter. (one at a time) I can hear and speak with headset. FlightLink will record my voice but not audio from plane. Any Lightspeed experts out...

Once or twice a week. Two or three approaches, hour plus, per flight. I’ll stay under the hood most of the flight. Cessna 182. Will be willing to safety pilot for you in your plane/rental. Must be at least private, basic med ok, I’m basic med. Zero cost, just you time. PM me to start. Matt

Is it normal/acceptable for a GFC 500 to disconnect in moderate to heavy turbulence? AP was really nice on a long turbulent flight. It did well and my shoulders weren’t in knots after the flight. Once though after a good upset the ap disconnected with the abnormal disconnect indication. It...

Primary ADI, Primary HSI backup ADI. FSM preflight says to switch the backup switch to on and the back to auto to check the HSI switching to ADI and back to HSI. On my install the HSI stays on ADI when switch is set back to the auto position. If I go into the HSI’s display settings I can select...

Plane 430W GTX 330 ES TIS-A no ADSB in. iPad with Stratus (w/AHRS) If I add a FS210 can the iPad get ADSB info from the Stratus and flight plan info from the FS210/430 at the same time? Plane is going in the shop for a GFC 500 next month and was thinking of adding to the project. Plan is to...

Looking for something for my wife and I to get into town/hotel from the local airport. 2-6 mile trip. Uber/Lyft/Taxi/rental are all possibilities but 6 miles would be a huge radius from so many airports. Any actual experiences with the current offerings? <- Key part of the question.

182P primary AI is vacuum, secondary is electric. Electric HSI. Putting in a GFC500 w/275. Keeping the vacuum AI would give me redundant AI’s on redundant power sources. Keeping the electric AI would give me the redundant AI’s only, but let me get rid of the vacuum system. Originally...

Any issue substituting argon for nitrogen in a strut? I’m set up with argon for my tig welder and don’t want to set up another gas. I just run air for tires but can see the value of moisture free gas for a strut.

Looking at a plane that had a avionics upgrade less than two years ago. Does there need to be a IFR pitot static check signed off in the logs after the installation for IFR flight? For any flight with the transponder on? Thanks

Is there any way to export Stratus data beyond Lat, Long, and height? I want to track takeoff roll and 50’ heights from my flights. Thanks
