    Robert, You have to ask yourself how realistic practicing stalls under you conditions is, and hence how useful. I'm sure if someone accidentally stalls the plane, it won't be at a 1 mph/sec, partial break, and coordinated. Chances are it will be none of the above.

    I would say it's a bad connection between the voltage regulator and alternator ( I had this problem, turn out to be a bad Alt Field circuit breaker), or it's a problem with the VR itself, especially if it's the mechanical type.

    This handles LED or regular lights: https://preciseflight.com/general-aviation/shop/product/pulselite-general-aviation/

    I'm amazed they use the same color wire for everything.

    I was told by my agent when I put in request that insurance company will do an appraisal and will not insure the plane for more than its worth.

    Never heard of it [emoji1], you got a lot of airports, any specific recommendations ?
  7. ArtVandelay
    Not necessary, just add a tax,fee to the medical. And another to registration (FYI, they did this to boats last year). I be more worried about local jurisdictions trying to charge landing fees, but as soon as the word got out, that would put an end to that unless they were looking for a reason to close the airport.

    I have a boat as well [emoji24] , the Mooney goes into the hangar as always, I will block the wheels and hope for the best.

    Electric assist would add to the empty weight and decrease useful load.

    Houman, your 650 has a vertical descent calculator, no need for the E6B
  11. ArtVandelay
    Agreed, that was my strategy, I use my mini iPad as my MFD

    Not if you fly cross country, especially IFR. WAAS insures integrity and availability of the GPS signal, not that your GPS navigator doesn't fail. I can't imagine flying IFR without a secondary way of navigating, no way do I want my life depending on 1 electronic box.

    Actually it suppose to benefit ATC, allow more automation. Because electronics fail, unless you want them to mandate a 2nd WAAS GPS. I would imagine a lot of them for owners of Mooneys, a Mooney is a cross country machine. Depends on where you fly, here in south Florida, that are airports all down the coast, and lots of traffic especially on the beaches. No, it means is more like a credit card debt as oppose to a regular mortgage, car load, etc

    This is what I use, you can get them from spruce: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/pspages/deluxe_towbars2.php?clickkey=66882

    New version became available, I just downloaded it and it fixes the problem [emoji1]

    But notice KSUA has disappeared when you turn off medium airports, where in mine you see it. It's almost like there is a grass runway setting, I know there is one for nearest function which I have set to all.
  18. ArtVandelay
    It looks like it's not showing airports with grass runways, same behavior with GA2
  19. ArtVandelay
    Here is my settings, maxed out
  20. ArtVandelay
    How did you do that? And can you do it for just the X58, in my case I still see the private airports
  21. ArtVandelay
    I mounted it vertically, just attached it to the kick panel.
  22. ArtVandelay
    I love how that fact is displayed in small font.
  23. ArtVandelay
    The code base between apple products and Samsung are probably different
  24. ArtVandelay
    Both my iPhone and iPad act the same, latest software and charts are up to date.
  25. ArtVandelay
    Notice private airport shows up but no x58
