    Garmin FlightStream 510 questions

    @Steamflyer is correct, ForeFlight cannot upload databases via FlightStream. A basic Garmin Pilot subscription is necessary...my only rub with my FS-510. I still like that wireless update capability and it is worth the additional $ for me. The ability for flightplan synchronization between...

    Garmin Aera 760 released

    A GTX345 will BT connect to devices and pass ADSB information (WX/NEXRAD/Traffic) and AHRS which can be used by software. It cannot receive information from the device, such as flight plans, and pass it to a navigator. The IFly site does not specifically list the GTX345 as a compatible device...

    Unleaded Fuel update: GAMI Says It Has 1 million Gallons of “Conforming” G100UL

    Yup. I did an overflight of the facility and took those aerial photos on behest of George prior to his presentation at S'n'F. Cheap bastard stiffed me! When I asked for a tip he said "On your deathbed you will receive total enlightenment". So I have that going for me...which is nice...

    Citing Valve Damage, UND Drops Unleaded Fuel And Returns To 100LL

    Exactly. Anecdotal information is not a 'study'. Running a twin with a different fuel on each engine and operating the engines identically, such as GAMI is doing, would provide a single better data point. Doing this on multiple identical aircraft provides the basis for a proper study and...

    HIMS process hell

    There is much accuracy in your statement but a blatant error. I'll excuse your ignorance (please do not take offence as I am implying a lack of knowledge in the area). No one chooses to become an alcoholic; there are many factors involved as to why it happens to some who drink and not to...

    What kept you going through training?

    Fly a few more 'solo' flights....with your CFI being a silent partner who is there only if there is a safety issue. There were times I had self doubt but at one point it all clicked into place. I'm with you on the protracted medical process. I had over 202hrs total/35 solo by the time I was...

    Selling seats fiberglass sandwich

    That seat has a very similar shape to ones that I put in my racing karts back in the day. Brings back memories.

    Gold Seal IFR course- anything else needed?

    Complete the Gold Seal course while also cross referencing the lessons in the IFH and FAR/AIM. Then a few weeks before the test take the Sheppard test prep course. You should score well into the 90’s on the test.

    April solar eclipse

    The director at our local science museum, on the local TV news broadcast, stated that we were seeing "the moon's shadow on the sun". Really??? The director of the science museum? Unbelievable.

    US submarines leap forward in quietness

    The movie Das Boot, the original in germanic with subtitles, is an excellent movie and seems to accurately depict life on a WWII diesel-electric sub. Great acting as well. I saw the Americanized remake, The Boat, and was disappointed. Strong recommendations to see the original.
