    I do (call briefer), when I submitted FP via Duats, it altered my routing,so I called 10 mins later to verify it modified it correctly, they still hadn't recv it, so redid it. I'm not sure if it got lost, or the duats computers have a slow connection to FAA computers.

    For planning purposes, nothing beats a paper chart for getting the big picture...for navigating in plane, electronics is way to go.

    With Firefox, you have to disable Ad blocking, not sure if chrome has this function

    Hey Trek, When are they going to add BlueTooth to the GDL-88, so it can interface with IPAD as well, I'd call it GDL-88B?

    In the real world, if you are making the mistake of stalling the plane, what do you think are the chances that you are doing it with the ball centered??

    Not quite, you will recover some of the cost of the airplane when you sell it, so you should only include the depreciation of the plane itself as a cost.

    There is already a precedent in the boat industry for this. Pacific Seacraft started doing this after the 2008 downturn, they will refit your boat, upgrade it or just make it like new again.

    Especially if it's used.

    <heat on> There is a lot of airports out there with only GPS approaches and I'll bet you your next plane with have IFS GPS <heat off>

    They don't seem to be going direct, maybe Brett is having 2nd thoughts and is taking it Canada

    I notice it doesn't have the normal Throttle-Prop-Mix controls, is this like a car, just turn the key and go? I notice what I think is the throttle control stolen off a DC-9 or something?

    The other take away is you need to upgrade

    Ah, didn't know that. thx

    I assumed they were laying down sodium salt like they do with roads, looks like they use potassium instead, although there still would be corrosion concerns: From airport-technology.com:

    Y'all do know that they will have autonomous cars, supposedly by 2020...

    For comparison, this same broker has a 84 trophy conversion with 1400 hrs, 430 WAAS + MX-200 for $98.5K http://www.controller.com/listingsdetail/aircraft-for-sale/MOONEY-M20K-252TSE/1984-MOONEY-M20K-252TSE/1293363.htm

    There is very little salt in coastal air except right on the beach where the salt water gets atomized, you should be more worried about northern climates where salt is applied to runways. There are lots of older florida cars around, none are suffering from corrosion, but many paint jobs are suffering from the exposure to the sun.

    That plane is also listed on controller.com by Scott macdonald broker. It's got 1900 hours on it so I would assume its runout, it's been stored in a private hanger Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

    A little sarcasm with a hint of truth...wasn't there someone who posted they were going to wax their firewall?

    Don't forget the cascade effect: First, you paint it, but now the interior looks really bad, so new interior (seats, etc), but now the instrument panel looks really bad, and what's the point of having a new interior/exterior with an engine with 1800 hrs on it....
  22. ArtVandelay
    Is it going to be stored in a hanger? No point painting it and then letting it sit outside.

    Why aren't you suppose to touchdown with them deployed??
  24. ArtVandelay
    I heard he was moving, not expanding, but that info was 2nd hand

    You THINK she'd tolerate it?!? There is an old saying "Happy Wife, Happy Life" . If it were me, I would have a heart to heart talk...a older mooney that you can take on short hops around and occasional short trip might serve you better. With the extra $ money you save you can upgrade it to make it your own
