I’m still waiting on the call from my avionics shop. So l’ve been trying to find some information as to how exactly these two units are going to work together. Anyone have any experience with a GTN750 (already installed) and a GNC355 ? Maybe point me in the right direction so I can know what...

Has anyone installed one of these yet? I’m on a waiting list with my avionics guy to have a GNC 355 installed and was considering having an AV-20 installed also while it’s in. Seems like a pretty interesting pice of equipment! My clock is on its way out anyway so this is an interesting option...

Well, here we go! This will be my first annual on the 182. I’ve owned the plane for almost exactly a year now (bought it right out of annual last February). I’m hoping for the best but prepared for anything. I took it to a shop that’s highly respected and known to be little on the expensive...

I’m going to have a new engine pre heater installed on my 182 while it’s in annual next week. I live in Michigan so winters are cold and pre heating is a must. I’m looking for any advice on which brand. Is this a Ford - Chevy thing or is one of them actually better? I did notice the Tanis is...

I know this has been discussed before but I'm getting close to decision time. I already have a GTN 750 with 2 G5s so I have a primary GPS and VHF nav. This will be for my com 2 and backup nav system using a GI-106. What's your opinion? GPS or ground based nav for backup?

This is a question related to the plane that crashed in South Lyon MI last Saturday. It looks like the pilot was flying VFR back to MI from GA. It appears he picked up an IFR clearance somewhere over Ohio. If you look the pilot up on the FAA it does not show him as having an IR. My question...

I’ve been replacing all my lights with LEDs as they fail. I’m all LED now except for the wingtip strobes. Wile flying in the clouds Saturday I noticed my right wing strobe was sticking on and off. The flasher is probably going bad and I would like to switch them over to LEDs. I did the tail...

Has anyone tried using these https://www.amazon.com/Oxygen-Supplement-Increases-Endurance-Performance/dp/B077NLSBXD/ref=sr_1_2?_encoding=UTF8&c=ts&dchild=1&keywords=Oxygen+Therapy+Products&qid=1600952721&s=hpc&sr=1-2&ts_id=13052971 Might be a good option for flying under 12500 and still...

These gentlemen were nice enough to hold short for me while I shot an approach into Toledo yesterday. Pretty cool hearing Skylane clear for the option, F16’s hold short rw7 for a Cessna on short final. LOL

This is my current panel. I just bought this plane last March and the previous owner did a really good job upgrading the panel, but he neglected the Nav / Com 2. It’s an old kx 170 (not a 170a or 17b). The nav side of the radio isn’t hooked to anything and the com side is almost useless...

Anyone know why they are issuing TFRs for baseball games even though there are no fans at the parks? I thought it had to be 30k people or something like that?

I keep my 182 in a large open hanger. My spot is way in the back and with full fuel (80 gal) I struggle pushing and pulling that PIG! I'm looking at electric tugs, I’ve read a bit on line about a few different brands. Does anyone have any experience with AircraftCaddy 4K Jr? or any other...

Well like most people I’ve got some extra time on my hands. It’s probably a great time to switch over to digital logs. I’ve got about 130 hours all in paper logs. Do I really need to go back and enter everything one by one or can I just add one entry with everything to date? What digital log...

Hi everyone. I’m a new owner of a Cessna 182. I’m looking for some advice on what type of tie downs everyone likes. I’m a 120 hour pilot and to be honest I’ve never had to tie a plane down. My 182 is in a hanger but I expect now that I have my own plan I’ll be making some longer overnight...
