  2. I had a five-hour mandatory transition period on my policy, but I came in with about 40 RG hours. I knocked out the five hours in two long flights over a couple days with a qualified instructor.. nbd.

  3. With 0 complex time you don't have the endorsement that is required. I started flying my J model with 0 complex time. The insurance asked for 10 hours transition training which included the complex endorsement. In addition, 10 extra hours (which could be solo flying) to get the minimum of 20 to fly with passengers. Have in mind that many insurance companies ask for time in make and model, so it your complex time is on a 182RG most likely is not going to help you much with a Mooney insurance.

  4. Why? It is almost always more expensive to pay for "X" number of hours than it is to just suck it up and pay the higher first-year premium. If you want 10 hours of complex at $250-300 an hour with a CFI, will you save the $2,500-$3,000 on that first-year premium? I sincerely doubt it.

  5. One wire for each nav light, the other goes to the annunciator panel for the dimming signal.

  6. We had this same issue. In the annual, they “cleaned the probe” and now it’s solid. Start easy and work from there maybe?

  7. There is a software bug in the G3X (v9.15 and earlier). According to the AFMS, if the GMU 11 fails the G3X is supposed to display a red X over amber HDG and display magenta GPS TRK on the HSI. But, instead, it continues to display white HDG as normal. What is happening is that the logic is not switching to TRK upon GMU failure and the ADSU 25D is continuing to compute HDG but without GMU input so the heading will drift over time. The G5 does properly switch to TRK. I don't have a GI 275, so I don't know how it behaves. I reported it to Garmin and after some back and forth, Support was able to reproduce it and passed it on to Engineering for resolution.

  8. Interesting. The VSI is one of the Aspen indicators I do follow in my scan. It is one of the things that makes intuitive sense to me on Aspen. Funny how different pilots who learned on round, steam gauges adapt differently.

  9. E. I. came out with a better resolution screen and better refresh rate around 2018 I think. @oregon87 could tell you how much it is to upgrade to the newer display.

  10. We bought an Inogen G5 and love it. I have a 12V outlet in the baggage area and just plug it in back there. With it plugged in we keep it at the highest setting, both of us on it and at 11,000' my sats are still at 98-99. Bought from Main Clinic Supply, all they need is a copy of your pilot license.

  11. It just doesn’t make sense as a simple passenger door opening. The pilot did not sound in the least bit distracted by it.
