    G5 as a turn coordinator

    Our turn coordinator failed in our plane with a dual G5 config (replacing the old AI and HI) so I had reason to answer the same question as the OP. Our STC has this content: For installations in aircraft approved for IFR operations: If the G5 is installed as the primary attitude indicator, the...

    Garmin pilot will now play nice with Stratus 3

    Garmin Support confirmed this morning that the Android version does not yet support Stratus. :mad2:

    Garmin pilot will now play nice with Stratus 3

    Thanks. It's apparent I'm doing something wrong. :) Connect to the Stratus via wifi. Confirm it's functioning by using another aviation app and verify local ADS-B traffic appears. Close the other aviation app. Open Pilot. Go to the Traffic page. Observe message "No Traffic Device. Check Device...

    Garmin pilot will now play nice with Stratus 3

    Has anybody gotten Garmin Pilot (Android) to connect to a Stratus 3? If so, what's the magic recipe? :) Thanks.

    Flying Club Openings - KJYO (Leesburg, VA - DC Metro)

    In our case, it's a purchase of a share in the not-for-profit corporation that owns the plane and the "refund" is the club buying back the share on the member's departure. Good question! :)

    Another airline pilot & junk problems

    From the TSA's site: "TSA uses two types of imaging technology, millimeter wave and backscatter." I don't know and haven't been able to find in what ratio the two technologies are being deployed. However, the machines do appear differently from the outside, so an educated passenger can decide...

    Another airline pilot & junk problems

    My online research shows that the millimeter wave scanners subject the passenger to less energy than a 1-minute cell phone call so I'm not concerned about health issues with that one. I'll grant there is some room for concern regarding the backscatter X-ray machine, but the risks do appear to be...

    All my Approaches are high.

    More practice. ;) Seriously, more data is needed. How are you defining "high"? Compared to what? Are your speeds good? Are you landing in the desired touchdown zone? What's a "rough" landing for you? Are you flying a similar airframe from flight to flight? I support the desire to constantly...

    "check gear down"

    I've heard it from time to time at civilian fields. One notable occasion was "Speedbird 1223" landing at Dulles (KIAD). But it's definitely something I expect to hear from controllers at fields with a military presence.

    Job change 401k questions

    I've switched jobs more than a few times over the last couple decades. ;) I've had no issues transferring any of the old 401(k)s - even ones that had been dormant for many years. I'm not aware of any penalties for transferring years old accounts. There were fees for former employees keeping the...

    Flying to DC

    KJYO has this, too (118.55). :wink2: ...but public transportation options from there to DC are limited to rush hour buses and cabs. Car rental is the best option and Enterprise will have the car waiting for you there. That holds for KHEF, too (though the VRE train running one way during rush...

    Flying to DC

    As others have said, KGAI is the best option if you want to use public transportation. If you're willing to spend the money for an inexpensive car rental (really, it's about as much as some cab rides), W00, KJYO, and KHEF are all good options (with W00 being the closer one and more challenging...

    Most Extreme Airports on the History Channel

    And I'm sure his reaction was similar to mine: "Yes." This isn't a comparison of skill. It's simply my most challenging landing. :rolleyes2:
