1. I can not get the traffic to display on my IPAD on foreflight even though I have the GNX375 paired via bluetooth. Traffic shows on moving map on GNX375 but not on my ipad. Everything else (weather etc) is showing on my ipad.
I will check that next time I fly it.If you go into devices in ForeFlight do you see the 375 connected?
Personally, for IFR, I’d swap the AI and altimeter locations. Lose the DG since it has no value with a slaved HSI, move the VSI to the DG location and put an AV30 as a backup AI in the current VSI location. Or similar. Ideally you have two AI is the key.
If the LOC makes sense but the VOR does not, may have an issue with whatever passes for a resolver these days. LOC doesn’t care what course you set whereas VOR does.
An EFIS HSI must control the main box not the other way around. Since the 375 is gps + txp, somehow hitting the CDI button from gps to VLOC on the 275 has to tell it to talk to the number 1 king Nav/com.
overall a very nice setup in my opinion.
Before and after.
Feels like lipstick on a pig but I needed it to have a transponder and IFR capability.
I dont know AMU but i have some bitcoin. ha~5 AMU in 2019.
That's not a rock ding. Looks like someone whacked it with a tool or went at it with a file.
My guess is no way, but the FAA provides specs for that decision. Try checking AC 43.13-1BCan something like that be repaired?
Same. And that stuff appears to be preparing for takeoff... (pun intended)I dont know AMU but i have some bitcoin. ha
This is the way.Send it to a prop shop for overhaul. Let them tell you it cannot be salvaged.
Let them also tell you what could have done that? It does look strange. Doesn't look like filing, etc. Probably just a very odd rock hit. Good thing you caught that.Send it to a prop shop for overhaul. Let them tell you it cannot be salvaged.
Yeah - besides, you’d had known if you hit something / someone .The ding in the prop is not copnsistent with a prop strike. Beyond that, I dunno.
I know I didn't cause it. I worry about how it happened. obviously the fbo won't admit to anything.Yeah - besides, you’d had known if you hit something / someone .
re. Item #1, make sure it's absolutely cracked. For my last annual the shop found the same "issue" and pointed it out to me prior to replacement approval. After getting the plane and old replaced caliper back I looked more closely at the "crack" and discovered it was just the paint that was cracked, the underlying caliper was fine. Now I have a spare caliper and one AMU less in my wallet.View attachment 126426
This is the findings from the annual. I am kind of clueless when it comes to repairs and mechanical stuff. I am pretty positive the ding on the prop was deliberate and intentional. They think they can dress it and repair it but the ding looks large enough that it worries me.
Another thing I am worried about is not knowing if it was a prop strike which to my understanding requires a major engine inspection?!?.
I guess I am asking how significant are these other findings. I am planning on selling it after Christmas.
