Installing instruments and avionics in small aircraft

Folks, is there an emoticon depicting a shaking head?

You might wish to review the state of simulation before shaking your head.
For some of the instruments I'm using, the accuracy is such that there is no
documentation from the developer of the simulation, because you can just
download the real documentation for the instrument and consult that.

This is very useful to people who need to train themselves in the use of a
specific flight instrument before actually buying and installing it.

If you recall, the subject in INSTALLING instruments, not USING them.
Do they properly simulate improper antenna placement?
How do you map the skin of the aircraft for a Strikefinder Install. I've
seen mechanics use an old am radio. Does someone make an old am radio add-on
for your simulator?

Yes, I'm using those now. I find it amusing that it parallels similar
procedures in real life. Only it's much less expensive, of course. I
just replaced a KFC225 with a S-TEC 55X. I'm not sure which one I
like better, but at least the latter is an accurate simulation,
whereas the former does involve a few compromises.


Good grief.

Wouldn't it be funny if MX is in reality a high time well qualified
ATP and he's just playing around and seeing who really knows what in
here?

Heh...heh...

I thought of the same possibility a few months ago.....

We have to allow for the possibility that anyone here may be very
different in real life than our "on line" personalities...

It would not be the first time..

Great entertainment tho....

Hey William, why the sudden cross post to include the whole world?

Hmm, possible, but unlikely. He'd have been spotted, I think .

Good idea, though!

If he ever really did have a snowball's chance of getting an airline job, he would have
applied to become a mechanic, not a pilot.
