    Mine is the same. I, as well, have always found it interesting that there are still inline fuses. I suspect they are carryovers from earlier models. The inst light breakers are 10A and the inline fuse is 5A. The only thing I can come up with is they were there to protect the transistors from current spikes and the breaker is only there to handle a dead short condition. Now they protect the PWM from damage. That was my 2013 project: Before: After: Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Since you added a JPI afterwards, what did you do with your FF gauge?

    And what features does Avidyne have that Garmin doesn't?

    They need to update airnav, it shows "none" for oxygen.

    When I see PFM I think of the the Mooneys with Porsche engines: Porsche-Flugmotoren was the official name, maybe we can use PFE?

    There is more to oil than just some gasoline or diesel, we found out synthetic oil wasn't good for our engines, and there is other by products like plastics, nylon, solvents...to name a few.

    I lost several segments, ended up upgrading to 830, new color display much easier to read.

    I found out yesterday that the IFR portion of Garmin Pilot is included as part of the one OnePak. I'm confused, whats the difference between one paks and pilot paks? There descriptions are identical?
  8. ArtVandelay
    Which is why I would add GP subscription and free iPad simulator (they charge $25) to the pilot paks...and the Full version of GP is $150

    They could make gas engines far more efficient if they upped the compression and added electronic ignition...of course the FAA certification would be the problem

    Pfft, 15NM/gal! i can do better than that at 150 knots, my next flight I'll see what I can do at Carson's speed

    That's the biggest font used for a interior placard I've ever seen on a small GA plane, I'd make it smaller and white font on black so it blends in better.

    I use King, between PP and IR writtens I got one question wrong, they do a great job of teaching you what you need to know. Presentation is not the best, but content is there. One of these days I'll retake a practice test to see how much I have forgotten (ADF etc)

    There are speed mods for the J too, unless you have 205 version. My J has them, installed by PO, I wouldn't have. Anyone install the PF on a IO-390, that combo might give 10 knots.

    No errors? Are you sure the databases are newer than installed? There is a system info page IIRC, what does it show for databases installed?

    I read through this, I'm not a lawyer, but I don't see where it says someone with a special issuance cannot use this, as was discussed in another thread?

    My shop handled the seat belts, and repairs. I'll I had to do was write a check.

    My POH (from 1975) doesn't give that info. That would be great, though. Since the OP has a J, he will have it, other IO360 models probably pretty close, FYI:
  18. ArtVandelay
    Or just get the numbers from the POH...

    It's suppose to be 94, accuweather real feel temp is 116....I'll never figure out why they schedule fly-ins for middle of the day; hot, choppy, and thunderstorms.

    If you are perfectly trimmed, try adjusting trim slightly one way or another.

    Helps to have a good copilot and autopilot, I assume your son has his PP as well.

    On landing I just keep it the target EGT On startup I lean aggressively as always, then at runup I go rich until till it stops complaining, do the runup as normal, then throttle back up, wait for EGTs to stabilize and then enrich until EGTs drop 150 degrees, that should put me comfortably on the rich side but close to max power. I departed Albuquerque using this method and it worked well.

    +1 Between the tube and the marker beacon antenna probably more that 2 knots, my antenna is internal beneath my 1 piece belly. And I don't like the idea of sharing my relief tube... I'll stick with a gatorade bottle.

    Nope, problem is I was diagnosed with ADHD about 8 years ago right after starting college. I'm only 26 and in perfect health other than that stupid diagnosis. Fortunately my AME has most of the regional flight surgeons on speed dial and we basically were told that I'd get a 1-year special issuance the first time around and be set after that. If I read the AOPA FAQ correctly, the special issuance means you'll need to do the normal 3rd class medical process for 10 years. I'm in the same situation, I had special issuance the first time.

    My guess I was trying to impress some girl I was dating. Some of those 8 tracks I can't remember playing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Sure sure, that's what you want us to believe...are you a politician? [emoji1]
