    GMA245 vs GMA350 vs GMA35c

    I recently installed a GMA350C to replace a GMA345. I would have gone with a PAR200B, but I wanted push to command. I added 4 buttons to the right side of my pilot yoke. They are 1) Play button - repeats up to 2 minutes of audio. 2) PTC - Allows me to voice control many functions. 3) Com...

    GFC600 Aural Alerts

    With just a 345 and gtn650xi I get a 500 ft call out. You should at least get that one. My understanding was that a g500 (EFIS) was required to get more granular altitude callouts

    GTN Xi series new features in upcoming sw release

    I just got my 350c in yesterday and got the latest 650xi updates. The 20.11 difference is pretty incredible. You mentioned the scroll between pages change, but the one I found more profound was the find frequency change. Previously if I found a frequency for an airport and told it to load, it...

    Checking a Piper Stabilator

    To be clear, this is not accurate for to all Pipers that have stabilators. It is correct that none should move. On a PA24, the stabilator bearing block is held on with 4 large bolts (2 per side) and the stabilator is mounted to the torque tube using 2 1/4" stainless bolts on each side.

    JPI EDM 830 & GTN 650xi

    Here are the settings I use on my 650xi (and previously 650) connected to my JPI830. Make sure you have 1) The wires corrected right. 2) The GTN settings to below (for your serial port) and 3) the JPI settings to format 7. If these settings don't work, something is wired wrong.

    How necessary is iPad GPS for ForeFlight?

    I still have a foreflight sentry ads-b from when I rented. Its only got about 30 hours of use. Send me a PM if you are interested in a used one. The GPS moving map is nice, but the ADSB-In is a huge safety enhancement.

    What do you use your plane for?

    Just as a note, the useful load of a plane is passengers + luggage + fuel (6 lbs x N gallons). Most 172s would give you approximately 900 lbs of useful load. They have 40-50 gallon tanks so thats 300 lbs@50 gallons right off the bat. So now you are left with 600 lbs available for passengers...

    What do you use your plane for?

    I just recently got my PPL (08/19) and bought a PA24 (09/19). It was on my bucket list to get done so at 40 it seemed like a good time. I plan to use it extensively to travel when I retire, and I figure this gives me enough runway (no pun intended) to get good with it. My mission now it to...

    Single GI-275 and G5 stack

    This is an older thread, but I thought I'd chime in with my experience. I just installed two G5s and upgraded my GTN635 to a GTN650xi w/fs510. My plane also has a GTX345 transponder. Previously I would fly with foreflight connected to the 345. I could use the map on the 635, but it never...

    GTN Xi series new features in upcoming sw release

    I agree that there should be an option to swap frequencies and turn on monitoring. I do know that you can wire another pushbutton to swap the frequencies. Its a bit clunkier, but it would work. Thanks for your pirep. I'm about to replace a 340 with a 350c and I'm excited to see other users...
