    It reads to me like a spacial disorientation loss of control ending in a spiral at a serious rate of descent.

    G’day Steve. He probably means the Skyview HDX1100 display. https://shop.dynon.com/products/sv-hdx1100-b-10-skyview-hdx-display-with-harness

    Juan and Hoover (Pilot Debrief), I always watch. Recently, they both presented together for the first time. It was so good and I hope it wasn’t their last together.

    Great looking bird, including the panel. Congrats!

    Around 90% price rise in 2 years from 83 to 85 for the J & K models.

    The Department of Stupidity and Idiocy runs our lives over here as well.

    Southwest Texas Aviation (swta.net). JD is great to deal with.

    It was the same on this side of the world. I don’t know if anyone else has had this other problem, whereby MS at times is taking too long to load. It maybe my iPad, but I wonder if others are having this same issue?

    Mooney is a hot rod

    Yes.

    They are an awe inspiring, very nice couple with meticulous preparedness in their beautiful, well equipped M20K. It was a pleasure to meet and entertain them.

    Been using Fire Glaze on both the Mooney and car for 16 years. Label says for aircraft, car and other use. A US product I can thankfully buy here in Australia that I’m very happy with. https://www.restructuremarine.com/fireglaze-products-2

    A very well written post and thank you for it. Just one matter - From the AFMS Limitations section - The autopilot must be disengaged below 800 feet AGL for all operations other than approach operations. I interpret this as the AP must not be engaged until above 800 feet. The only exemption to this I believe is engaging the YD as there is nothing to say you can’t and it can be operated independent of the AP.

    Hi Scott, Do you know if Garmin eventually addressed this issue?

    Thanks for coming on the forum and letting us know what and why it happened. A valuable contribution is an understatement. Don’t be surprised if some day you’re invited to present your experience and the way you handled it at a safety seminar.

    Man those Windy maps look intense. I know you would’ve avoided the system by a wide margin, but how was the turbulence?

    Love that Chem Trail switch

    Maybe an engine or other problem following power application? "the pilot attempted a go-around. The pilot pulled the gear up, then decided to land but the gear did not fully extend. https://asn.flightsafety.org/wikibase/463977

    A mate of mine is rebuilding one here in Australia. A huge project.

    Wow. Nothing short of a miracle. Glad they survived.

    That’s a MidContinent SAM. If you want one for your own you’re looking at about 11k plus install.

    There are many older twin engine aircraft with wider than Mooney panels, such as C400 and PA350 series that are configured this way too. I consider it dangerous in the event of a primary AH failure with no autopilot and having to (even slightly) turn one’s head to the right side deviating from normal scan for even a second or two on a dark, turbulent night trying to keep straight and level or conducting an instrument approach without slope guidance. I have no idea if there are any loss of control stats in these scenarios and it’s obviously allowed, but I disagree with it.
