Are you doing it on 64 gallon tanks? The planned 7:45 would mean you got your fuel flow down below 8gph but you’re still making good speed, nice! What power setting? Curious why you didn’t choose higher than 8500? Weather? fatigue without O2?

Ha! I took a picture of my wife (upper half) peeing in a piddle pack in our front seat. The contortions required were surprising, but she nailed the target! Now with my 6 year old daughter, we use a different technique… she stands up inside a lawn/leaf bag in the backseat (on the floor) and then goes for the piddle pack. My wife holds the trash bag up around her middle. The lawn/leaf bag is backup, but she’s been solid so far!

You’re just full of good news!

My airport repaved all the taxiways between hangars. They published timelines well in advance, provided tiedown areas for people blocked in, updated us during the work and had an email list if you wanted extra updates. It really isn’t that hard to make people aware and it saves a lot of asspain in the end. That being said, I’d probably drop it (but I wouldn’t apologize for being pissed!). Clearly you’re at the airport a lot, they didn’t even have to try hard to make it known to you unlike the guy who lives out of state and shows up once every two months.

Western skyways is another option but it’s further west.

So I looked today and my throttle says don’t lube, the other 2 don’t say anything. Throttle is a 2 year old mcfarlane cable from Mooney.

So my -930 does both cht and egt. Seems they have several different software versions for the -900s and-930s. It even puts “nrm” next to them.

Typically angle valve cylinders are more expensive. I want to say I paid $1800 to buy a first run OH last year for my A1A (my cylinder was chrome, flaking, and trash). That being said, it depends on how much work they need to do to your cylinder to OH it. Also, there are only Lycoming cylinders for an A1A, I don’t think you can get superior cylinders…

Only curious because you mentioned it… mine say not to apply lubricant, are there different versions that do need lubed?

But it’s not that you just need a “sporadic” feed… aren’t they using it for actual atc up there? They’re gonna want a continuous high quality track.

The turboprop I fly for work (2015 PA-46T) is not diversity and we do fly it into Canada. No way we could stay low. This could get expensive. Funny thing is the company is Canadian, although this airplane is based in the US.

Honestly, Garmin should be paying him for figuring all this out and then posting it for all of us! He’s saving them tons on fixing their documentation and future tech support.

Also, there’s a shortage of good mechanics and there are more than enough airplanes to keep good shops busy. Unless you do it yourself, I’m surprised we’re still getting the $3k annuals.

Guys, any chance this can go all the way back to an issue with the gascolator? Does it seem the same no matter which tank you’ve selected? I guess I’m thinking about large air bubbles being pulled through.

Your g5s are on a charger? That wouldn’t be normal unless you leave the master on?

Ha! Glad you made that. I was 99.9% sure my 930 normalizes the chts too but I was too scared to post it and then be wrong! Nice job Skates!

Wowza, I got lucky on that one! Mine were installed 2/14/2020 and they aren't affected... or at least they're not in that batch of serial numbers. I haven't had any issues with the batteries either.

I wonder if the FAA starting to approve formerly experimental avionics (eg G5s) spooked TC?

It’s ACF’s job to migrate everywhere. If it’s coming out thick and is a big mess, perhaps they used too much, but you should definitely see some leaking out.

So nothing “undesirable” about not having it, more relaxing to have it. It helps smooth out the bumps in light turbulence and will keep the airplane coordinated for you in most conditions. Basically just freeing you up even more to focus on bigger picture tasks. Since we don’t have rudder trim, it may or may not alleviate all your right rudder during climb , but it will keep you coordinated at all your cruise airspeeds and during descent. My F (without yaw damper) requires a little right rudder in cruise depending on IAS and it requires left rudder in decent. Yaw damper takes care of that and helps in turbulence. Seems worth it to me if you’re getting the gfc500.

Necessary, no, but I also don’t think you’ll regret it. Price seems reasonable too, especially considering 2xG5s by themselves (installed) is typically 10-12k. Are you getting the oat sensor for Tas and winds? I’d include that as well.

https://www.wagaero.com/instruments/g-meters/2-1-4-g-meter.html or https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/abu-4a-aircraft-accelerometer-meter-3844524813 military surplus from a T-37 would be good.

Did the shop wire it correctly? Maybe the shop put the cb between your electric trim switch and it was meant to be on the trim motor?

It’s really similar to the g1000 gfc700 in a lot of ways! Glad you guys got a nice day to fly over there, this side of the state was nice too and we went for $100 hamburgers in idaho. Bouncy fuel pressure and all.

Don’t thank me when you see the bill… the cables aren’t cheap and the mechanic is going to have to take their time to get them both just right. Probably have a switch on the throttle for the gear warning horn too.
