  1. I had one experience years ago where my GTN froze, went blank and then rebooted. The whole thing probably took 20 seconds but it felt much longer. The avionics shop couldn’t find a problem with it and it’s never happened again. I chalked it up to a bad software release.

  3. Geez, a successful hydrogen engine for single-engine piston aircraft is really hard to imagine, and it sounds like hydrogen is their long-term plan? The gasoline market seems pretty saturated, and it feels like you need to sell states on military drone applications if you want to make money today. Selling a V-12 piston in the PT-6 market is interesting, but there would have to be really serious cost advantages if you’re going to convince people to give up the reliability of the turboprop.
  4. There’s a MS thread on Vector https://mooneyspace.com/topic/50237-backlash-against-vector-airport-systems/
  5. Yeah, dunno - I haven’t updated yet but it’s definitely available.
  6. Cool, thank you. I hadn’t seen the 18.5 notice yet. I’m not sure whether it’s possible to see “old” iOS validation notices.
  7. Yeah I’m seeing 18.5 available too. I haven’t seen a note from Garmin yet that they have verified compatibility with 18.5, but they usually verify within a few days.
  8. For whatever it’s worth, I think the process is a lot easier with the SD cards than it is with the proprietary card writers. I used both the Jepp version and the later Garmin version with GNS navdata, and they were both pretty painful. It was not at all unusual to have driver issues that required plugging and unplugging the device or even rebooting the machine in order to complete a single update cycle Writing SD cards using the Garmin database manager has been largely problem-free (for me), though I admit it still feels a bit fragile and old-timey.
  9. The GTN uses standard SD cards, so any SD card reader will work. Newer Macs don’t come with SD card slots, but I have a dongle for my Mac that works fine and plugs into the USB-C port. I’ve been a Garmin Pilot user for many years, and it’s been mostly trouble-free. I haven’t found an EFB yet that doesn’t have a quirk or two, so I’m hopeful that you can get past this issue and move on to more trouble-free navdata updates from your iPad.
  10. Do you have the latest iOS version? Might be worth updating if not. I did see a notice that they have verified compatibility with 18.4.1.
  11. This may be an obvious question, but is your iPad out of storage? If you go to Settings - General - Storage, does it show plenty of space available?
  12. I have no idea whether @HolyMicro has a similar deal, but @Microkit worked a deal with Craig where they sponsored the site and they can post in other forums. https://mooneyspace.com/topic/36596-landing-height-system-for-mooney/
  13. I had this happen one time in the plane and it was super frustrating. Apparently the app had auto-updated overnight and required a new set of required downloads before it would work. Once it downloads the required files it should be fine - looks like you’re in WiFi range now. If the app is hung, just kill it with a double click on your home button followed by a swipe up on the app tile. Or just reboot the iPad.
  14. The problem is that by definition you’ve forgotten your pre-landing brief if you’re scraping the prop on the ground with the wheels in the wells. If you would remember to do a pre-landing brief, you wouldn’t need the pre-landing brief
  15. Kind of surprised that you found safety wire at all Some of the experimental folks are notorious for skipping the safety wire on oil filters.
