    Yeah, that makes sense.

    Insurance is desired, but not required. Your instructor is gonna want to be protected somehow. A bank will require it if you finance the airplane.
  3. Ragsf15e
    Liability only for now maybe? Parker will have ideas. what about insuring your instructor, then you just fly without it on your solos? no matter what, it’s gonna be expensive to insure for training.

    I’m not exactly sure what you mean above, but a G5 cannot provide a certified waas source for an adsb transponder. Now if that transponder has its own Waas gps,that would be fine (ie gtx345 with gps). Can a gtx 335 have its own waas gps in it?

    There’s a leveling procedure in the install manual to set it, but otherwise it’s not adjustable... unless you go into the setup mode and adjust what they did or didn’t do during installation.
  6. Ragsf15e
    G5 is not an approved waas source. Got an ifr waas navigator in the panel?

    As Mike said, either/or. I use Garmin’s service now too as it’s slightly cheaper and I get the whole US instead of just the western US for that slightly cheaper price. Expect the data card transfer device to cost $60ish. If you want a Jepp transfer device, pm me, I’ll send it to you half price, however, I’d recommend just buying the garmin one. The garmin transfer device only works with garmin, the jepp only works with jepp. It’s pretty silly.

    Not sure if it’s wired differently, but even with the master off, you can have a hot mag(s) with the key in. I would think that mag switch is the same. I.e. you could turn off the master in flight and the engine will keep running. We have a similar but less elegant setup on a trainer that I teach in sometimes and it’s pretty easy to miss the mag switches. I have seen the airplane moved with a towbar with them on.
  9. Ragsf15e
    Honestly, I’d have one more concern... not getting them both off after shutdown. I really like the idea of the mag switches and push to start, but a hot mag scares me. I think it’s just slightly more difficult to forget to turn the key off and remove it. Even with that, you could still end up with a hot mag if they aren’t grounded. Be careful with the prop when you’re moving the airplane!

    My input is close to useless because I’ve got a jpi 930 not the original gauge like yours, but generally, voltage is reading at the bus.
  11. Ragsf15e
    The guys above nailed it. You likely have voltage drop at an old and/or corroded connection. Start with the battery, then bus, then voltage reg, etc. Move through the system and find the drops. Also, this should be tested with master on, but engine off. I’m really curious how you got 14v at the battery? Should be like 12.5ish. Maybe a bit higher for the first few minutes after turning on the master, but it shouldn’t read 14v.

    Oat and tas are on the adi. I believe winds are shown on the hsi.
  13. Ragsf15e
    Awesome article. However, @M20Doc isn’t gonna like this from page 59....
  14. Ragsf15e
    Yeah, that's real nice. I do like the OAT, wind and TAS display right there. Just can't bring myself to stick another OAT probe on the airplane. Look like a porcupine. You must have a GFC500 autopilot? The display at the top looks like a mini G1000 autopilot bar.

    So did you get the DER to approve an Ovation cowling on there or is that from a J? Im really hoping The new “Sabre Cowl” works out because I’d eventually like to spruce up my 68F too. The rest of it can be done with the right people and enough $$, but the cowl seems like an easy place to get stuck trying to find a salvage J and then get it approved.

    Unfortunately it doesn’t “flow through” to the G5. That would be nice and seems possible, but no such luck. I will have the same situation as you where the data is consolidated on my gns430.
  17. Ragsf15e
    Needs a GAD13 and a temperature probe. I am getting my 2xG5s next month, but opted not to do the gad 13 for now. Already have a temp probe for my JPI and can manually enter data in the gns430 to get the tas & winds. That being said, it would be a nice thing to have displayed. The GAD and temp probe is on the order of $400. Install gotta be a few hours. Call it $600-$800 installed but just a guess.
  18. Ragsf15e
    Thanks! It does look brass colored, but much better to be precise in your words!
  19. Ragsf15e
    Big brass thing right behind your airspeed indicator. Pitot lines attached.
  20. Ragsf15e
    And if it doesn’t, it will narrow down the culprits. And for only a few AMUs, a relative bargain! Old electrical systems can have weird problems where resistance builds.
  21. Ragsf15e
    Have you had any software “updates” done recently?
  22. Ragsf15e
    That’s what I do as there are often temps in the 30s or 40s in the morning followed by 80s in the afternoon in the higher elevations out west.
  23. Ragsf15e
    Ha, I’m about to have Western do my 2 x G5s next month. It looks awesome, were you happy with their work? They have had a couple managerial changes recently... Was that Highland upholstery? I’ve heard good things about them.
  24. Ragsf15e
    Jeez, at least it’s not cramped between the engine and firewall!! Mine looks even worse with vac and standby vac!

    I’m pretty happy with a ram ball mount on the right side. In my opinion it gives you lots of options - iPad size, orientation, angle, etc. it’s also easy to remove, and it’s close to the cig lighter for power if required. It may also give you a bigger iPad in less panel space. It’s not obtrusive to the copilot at all as it stays pretty close to the panel. It gives you a really simple upgrade path too as technology changes, and if someone doesn’t like an iPad mounted there, it pops off in about 10”. Pictured is an old mini.
