The white, blue and black 1961 IFR Cessna 210A that had been listed by me on ebay a month or so ago was wrecked by a windstorm / squall line before it could be relisted. The aircraft was flipped out of the tiedown. Engine was NOT running but prop blades are bent. It has been listed again as a...

I got my instrument rating at an accelerated school in California. Overall, I think my instruction went well, and I was very happy with the results. I passed my checkride in a Piper Lance, and had no troubles. There was one part though that never quite made sense to me. My instructor told me to...

I rent and fly 172s out of Gainesville, GA (KGVL). I used to fly out of 47A and had a number of safety pilots available there (too far to be convenient for them now), but this FBO is fairly new and doesn't have a list put together yet of pilots that can safety for me. Anyone know of a good place...

Yesterday, I was vectored for nearly 30 minutes around/through the Cleveland Class B airspace. The controller ended up taking me directly over the airport and north to the lake and then west. As I was doing this, I wondered what the lost comms procedure would be when you are on a ATC vector for...

Has anyone interfaced an M3 with a PC? I have a Motion LS-800 running Jeppview Flitedeck. I had succefully interfaced it with my previous aircraft that had a Trimble 2000 Approach. Trimble uses RS-232 w/ King aviation data format for its moving map output. I used an USB RS-232 coverter and...

Flyers, I am parting with my Garmin 296 if anyone is interested. It is on eBay at: http://tinyurl.com/cq9zl It is one year old and in excellent condition. It comes with all original accessories and also the full auto kit. It will have the latest firmware and database.

I was just reviewing the new Elmira One departure procedure. I think the government has let GPS go to their heads. Unless I'm reading it incorrectly, it specifies the initial heading out to TWO decimal places! The procedure is pretty trivial as it basically says to fly runway heading to 4000...

I had bid on a GNS430 and lost. A day after, an email stating the winner did not complete the transaction and I was being offered a "second chance offering". The email looked good, had "eBay" sort of format, but was a fraud; the buyer had completed the transaction. A week later, I won a bid on a...

When you put a flight plan into the CNX-80, you end up with a "discontinuity" before the last fix. My habit is to delete the discontinuity as soon as I finish entering the route. Another instructor in my club teaches that you should NOT delete the discontinuity. I can't see any strong arguments...

On a recent flight I could not get my 396 to download weather. I've called Garmin, given them my antenna number, and was assured I don't have a bad one. I took the magnets out so no warrenty possibilities. I thought I read a while back that there is an aftermarket antenna. If not, how much...

I can't seem to find any significant data on the web about this panel mounted GPS. Even Southeast Avionics website has very little information about the Trimble product line and they usually are an excellent reference point. Does anyone still use this GPS and are current databases still available?...
