An aircraft I just purchased has a panel mounted II Morrow Apollo 820 panel mounted GPS. The unit is fully functional and might just come in handy some day. Is there anyplace I could get an updated database? Thanks Paul

I would imagine higher fuel/insurance/operating costs will drive the trends already in motion. Namely, more shared ownership, less private (1 person) ownership, and either a shift towards owners in a higher income bracket, or fewer owners overall as the ones struggling with the expense drop...

I just got my renewal policy from AIG. In the section on War, Hi-jacking and other exclusions it this exclusion. "Any malicious act or act of sabotage" It seems to be that this means if my plane is vandalized, broken into, or even stolen that it will not be covered! Almost any act by a person...

In the continuing saga of my altimeter woes, I've discovered that my current unit has been forced into obsolecense. It's a Macleod unit, and most overhaul places say they won't touch them. The guy who did the IFR cert says, "Buy a brand name like United or Kollsman." Any thoughts on one...

My understanding is that one should lean using the "hotest" cylinder as the reference point for peak EGT. My question is on the interpretation of "hotest." Does that mean the cylinder that reaches the hotest EGTs or CHTs? On mine, they are inversely related (the hotest EGTs are on the coldest...

Peter, WingX is not hard-coded to any specific screen size. It runs just fine on 320x240, 240x320, 240x240, 640x480, 480x640, and 480x480. In fact, WingX even has the option to automatically change between portrait and landscape - had that for about a year now if I recall correctly. Route...

Need Some Advice From thoughs Who Know, Say you found a 1984 172RG that has had a 250HP powerplant put in and some extra long range fuel tanks but no STC's or any other paperwork for the aircraft except for engine airframe and prop log's. Aircraft also has some very odd instruments also that would...

Has anyone tried anti-reflective plastic film on the gpsmap or another device? Garmin says there is an anti-reflective coating on the screen but it doesn't look like it to me. With the 496 gizmo mounted on the copilot side I've been able to knock down the glare by putting a kid's black tee...

Hi! We just got the bill for our new engine.....*GASP** It should be ready and mounted in a few weeks. It's a 1968' Piper Arrow 180 hp. Great plane! Is there anything we should be aware of the first few hours running a newly installed factory overhauled engine? It's a Lycoming.

I would start by checking idle at start and at operating temp. To me, revs should not have been 500 Tony C-GICE In article , Peter wrote: IO-540-C4, Socata TB20

All I can say is, "CRAP!" The altimeter didn't quite pass the IFR certification. It had some "erratic" movement, required lots of tapping, and then would bounce back and forth between the acceptable error limits for the certification. A couple altitudes were over the limit. The guy doing...

Greetings everyone, Our club is looking into expanding its fleet. Most of the fixed costs associated with an airplane can be obtained from the insurance company and your favorite A&P. I seem to remember a website that published the operating costs associated with a great number of GA airplanes. ...

Does anyone have this setup where the 396/496 (particularly the 496) is in their panel hooked up through an RS232 cable to a 430 or 530? I saw a post by Mikem with very good specifics on the pin-outs but I have a couple of questions: 1) Does the 496 pick up the inputted flight plan/route from...
