About every 6 months or so, my aircraft is 'spotted' by FlightAware in California. It happened again today. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N4306F/history/20220219/2141Z/ How can I find any communications or ADSB information for this flight. I would like to at least verify that they don't...

I really like my Sandel 3308 EHSI. (I know it is no longer serviced, but they are still available on the used market.) Currently, it is connected to a GNS430W. This is in a PA32R-300 (Lance). I am contemplating some upgrades. It looks like the G5 is just a simple digital version of a basic...

Garmin has an upcoming webinar titled "Affordable Database Solutions" which was advertised as explaining how their different subscriptions really work. The problem is that the registration link takes you to the registration for "Garmin Pilot 101: Aircraft Setup". Its at...

I know this may be a stupid question, but are there specific zip-ties to be used in aircraft? Or, can we go down to the local big-box and get some to use?

Has anyone recently sent in a GNS430W for repair of a de-laminated screen? And, if so, what what was the final cost?

I just wish AirNav had a main item under Airport Services that said: Airport Landing Fee: Yes|No FBO Ramp Fee: Yes|No|Some While I understand these fees are sometimes needed, I just don't like the surprises. And especially the double wammy when I got charged by the FBO for both an airport...

Aircraft: PA32R-300, GNS430W, Sandel SN3308, CenturyIII. When I first purchased the aircraft in 2005, it had a non-WAAS GNS430 and the autopilot tracked the course well in all selected options (NAV, OMNI, HDG, etc). When I had the GNS430 upgraded to a GNS430 (2009), I started seeing...

My aircraft has had multiple radio replacements. I know the loran and dme are long gone. I want to identify any antenna removal candidates. All but one top antenna is identified. The one unknown antenna on top is connected to a bnc connector in the rear passenger area. It's been there a long...

I have a question on the GDL52R. For the ADS-B/In antenna, can I temporally (6-months) use an existing VHF antenna that is installed to a bulk-head BNC labeled 'hand-held'? The best location for a new, dedicated antenna is under the back seat, but I would rather run the new coax when I have the...

Planing a flight to an airport where the procedure is N/A at night. I will be arriving about 'sunset'. If 'sunset' is defined as 16:39, 'civil twilight' as 17:06 and assuming that the approach would take 5 minutes to fly, what is the latest time that I can be 'cleared for the approach' by ATC?

Ok, just thought I would throw this out there. We all have sig lines with abbreviation that everybody understands, like: SEL, MEL, CFI, CFI, CSEL, ATP, etc So, now that I have added RPC to my certificate, I have started thinking about how I might put it in my signature line. Or, if it even...

Along with my normal logs, I have a folder of all the 337's and STCs ever installed on my aircraft. Some have since been removed, but the 337's and STC paperwork still exists in the folder. Is there any point in keeping those STC documents as some of them are bulky? (IIMorrow Loran, DME...

Long, long, story. Many things should have been done differently: In January of 2017, I was going though some financial issues due to having to move for a new job and having two house payments. I took on good friend (we worked for same company) as a minor partner for my aircraft. Let's call him...

I just had a 52R installed. I have Garmin Pilot running on Android. It appears that it pairs, but I can't connect. The installer can connect using an iPad or an iPhone. The installer does not have any experience with Android. Before I start a support issue with Garmin, I thought I would ask here...

My brother recently closed out a corporate flight department and found two Bose X headsets in working, but rough condition, which he gave to me. While a google search easily finds the Bose X trade-in web page (at boseaviation.com), I though it was terminated. And, I can't find it when I go to...

I own a '76 Lance (PA32R-300) that is a good IFR platform. 430W, Sandel EHSI, etc. My daughter (age 26) is ready to get her license. I see a couple of valid options: 1) Have her rent the cheapest aircraft available until she gets her private. While she is trainging, let her handle the radio and...

Anybody using a GLO2 with Pilot on an Android. I just have some basic questions to see if my set-up is right. Maybe we could schedule a chat.

After 4 years out of flying, I am back in and moving toward full digital charts. My tablet is a 9" Samsung with Garmin Pilot. (No iPads for me, ever.) How are you mounting it? On the yoke? On a goose-neck? Strapped to your leg? Personally, I have never liked to mount plates to my yoke as it...

Are there any tools or web sites available that would make it easy to find a list of specific approaches closest to a specific airport? Say I want to see where the closest NDB or BC or DME Arc approach is so that I can go practice. Tony T.

Just getting back into flying after about 5 years and the databases and software pricing from Garmin has my head spinning. I have never used an EFB before. I am IFR and plan on flying IFR. My aircraft does have a GTX330ES and one GNS430W. I am an android user and I like the looks for Garmin...
