Could be the unit is not reading the 32gb card? IIRC, When I wanted another backup card a few years ago for a 650, a tech at Garmin told me the max size card that could be read in the 650 was 16G. I found a SanDisk in Best Buy, formatted it FAT32 and it works fine. Following the link for the...

Cessna Pilot Association sells a very comprehensive book on the 210 series by the late John Frank that would be a worthwhile read before buying an early model 210. Another reason for the low prices on the early models is the availability and cost of parts and requires more complex maintenance...

Your car survival kit is a good start. Throw in a down bag, ski hat, warm mittens, warm coat, more simple food, plenty of water, basic first aid kit, portable vhf.... you could be over gross if you included everything on some of the lists out there. :biggrin: Your route looks good and follows...

....I rest my case. :cheers:

Anthony, if you're still here, welcome to the wide world of aviation!...along with a glimpse of the personalities that make up the pilot community. ;) Don't let the subtle mix of sarcasm with good info turn you away from a dream. I'm betting that most of the long time flyers here started out...

As "wax", I use Rejex polymer on the plane. After landing, I spray the leading edges, nose and windshield with water. Give it a minute and the bugs wipe off effortlessly with a rag. The key is to clean them immediately after you land. Let them dry and harden for a few days, then it takes a...

For everyone who woke up this morning and said to themselves..."I'm not going to admit it, but I think I'll give this a try..."

Count me as undecided, but leaning toward BasicMed. I presently hold a 3rd Class, flying for the past 13 years on a SI due to lifetime anticoagulation subsequent to unexplained DVT/PE in 2004. Due to my medical/SI exam/report date being at the beginning of the summer flying season, I lost 6...

What he said. Class B=always, I don't ever recall a Class C where it wasn't required or a Class D where it was required. Technically the Class D tower guys CAN arrange FF, but I think it depends on workload whether they WILL. Most of the time at less busy towers, I'll request FF on ground...

Hey guys, FYI.....New AWOS under construction written up in the latest Co Pilots Assoc newsletter called Dakota Hill, S and E of Rollins/Corona Pass. Identifier will be C99. Hopefully full blown winter will hold off long enough for completion. Combined with Berthoud, this station will fill a...

+1 on Mosca Nate! Most always open when Hayden Ps and LaVeta Ps are obscured and offers a quick, benign transition from the Wet Mountain Valley to the San Luis Valley. Another one that I use when LaVeta Ps is down is North LaVeta. It's a little longer transition, but if weather is the issue...

Can't argue with stunning scenery on that route...I just returned from Powell and Monument.:) On the way home he could complete the tour with a great circle swing to Jackson Hole and Yellowstone :cheers:

Dr J....i know the request was for routes, but more info needed here for useful advice. Is your 6 a 260 or 300? Heavy or light load? Long one day or RON? Leg lengths planned? As noted above, amount of mtn experience is unknown. Are you familiar with mixture management for high DA takeoffs...

I have one that was working perfectly when removed a month ago for a GTX345 install with a tray and connector. I would also take 700 also, so put me in line as a backup to gismo if you want to purchase one sooner. Please post if you have already acquired one as I am ready to post on eBay and...

I had a 345 installed this summer and your quote was spot on for what I paid. Integrated with a GTN 650. I have the XM weather on my handheld Garmin, but the ability to have metars alive on Foreflight is handy. The traffic was my main objective for pulling the trigger now. I've already had a...

Has anyone else had problems getting into the "automatic site" to check ADS-B performance linked earlier in this thread? On iDevices and laptop I am unable to get in. I had a GTX345 installed earlier this summer and was just curious....I notice when I power up the avionics in the hangar on...
