Your GTN either has a Flight Stream (FS) 510 SD Card in it or a FS210 behind the panel and that's what you want to look for on the Bluetooth list to connect to. The GTN does not have Bluetooth built in (don't get me started on how dumb that was when Garmin released the newer Xi version....) ForeFlight with the GTN/FS connection works great, you'll enjoy it. If this is a new installation, then all the Software should be up to date. But if you've had the GTN and ForeFlight is the new component, check with your avionics shop to see if either or both the GTN and FS need to be updated. There have been some changes this year that may or may not affect you. As for FF vs G Pilot, people like both, but I think FF is the overall leader and you'll be happy with your choice.

As for locking the door, when I first got my Mooney there was all sorts of "stories" about baggage doors popping open in flight. The more I talked to Mooney owners it became clear that people probably just didn't latch the door, it didn't "pop open" on it's own. And as @EricJ pointed out, it's a LOT easier for rescuers to open the baggage door if needed if it's NOT locked. As for the key, I would leave my keys in the baggage door lock while doing the external checks and loading. Then when it was time for me to get in the plane, I'd get my keys and make sure the door was latched (with a little tug to make sure both pins went in).

Okay... I did not try "Hangar" or "Hangar Rental" because they brought up too many posts about getting a hangar, etc. I tried multiple "Rental Agreement" "Lease" "Hangar Rental Document" and I forget what else I tried, but multiple variations that brought up a lot of stuff that was not helpful. So what exactly did you search for and is it that you instantly found 24 different leases or that out of the 300 search items you found 24 different leases? And thanks for finding the links.... Ummm.... But where are they????? ADDED: Oops!!! Okay, my bad. Read your message because it came up as a notification.... The second one with all the links I hadn't seen yet. (graveling in the corner....)

Yes, that's a given. Should have mentioned it was on the list.

Not a bad thing to put in "on request" of the tenant. Don't know that I want to just add that they send me a copy every time. But if things get questionable then it gives me an option to check, which might show my suspicions are correct. And there could be situations, like an A&P doing work in the hangar without a plane of their own. Still aviation, but no "Annual" they would have to show. Guess they could flood me and send a copy of every annual they did for all the planes!

Anyone have any Hangar Rental Agreements they wouldn't mind sharing? I tried a few different searches, but nothing came up that referenced an actual lease. (Even tried @Fly Boomer's trick with "site:mooneyspace.com xxx" but no luck. I'm looking for examples because it looks like I've got a hangar to rent and a standard Apt/Home rental agreement is probably not the best guideline. Eventually I'll run it by a local lawyer, just don't see the need to pay them to do the research. I'd rather go in with a draft for them to okay or make changes to. And I don't know if anyone else does this, but I'd like to include that the primary use of the hangar is for aviation. I've heard way too many stories about trying to find hangars when there are often a number on the airport that are full of non aviation storage. Even people that may have a non flyable plane or parts of a plane shoved in the corner, but they never have any intent on flying, but they have a hangar for storage. I'm also *assuming* they are either month to month or 1 year agreements (again, rental, not leased from the airport, FBO, etc.). But maybe a lot are longer term Leases, which might bring into play a different set of local laws. (Again the lawyer...)

I guess Tanis doesn't pull as much because they expect you to leave it plugged in vs. using it as a pre-heater (or even an occasional pre-heater). Their website does say the 4 cylinder = 240 watts/ 2.1 amps and the 6 cylinder = 460 watts/ 4.0 amps. ADDED: Interesting that the Tanis Operating Guide does not have pre-printed specs on the power consumption. There is a place at the top of the fist page for the installer to handwrite in the Voltage, Wattage & Amperage. But there are no Specs that show Max draw. However, the fuse is spec'd at 12A and they also call for "...A 12-gauge extension cord is recommended for system loads up to 12-Amps..." They also list the appropriate wire gauges for different lengths of the extension cord (e.g. you can use 16 gauge if you're only going 50ft/15m or less).

No expert, but going from memory of some engine seminar years ago... I think the old theory of turning the prop backwards has to do with single velocity oil. If, like most of us, you're using multi velocity oil (at least in the winter) then there is no need. Other issue unrelated to the oil was to pull the prop through just to hear the starter click and to make sure there wasn't a big block of ice rattling around in the spinner. (Though I never got the rattling part, if it's ice I figure its frozen to something.)

NO! Delete that!!! (You don't want the insurance company seeing that... not that you would EVER do that.... )

I know there were some issues a while ago with the Garmin Aviation Manager running on Mac iOS. I believe the issues were all resolved, but maybe it would be worth it to get the latest Aviation Manager and uninstall what you have and reinstall the fresh download. Also... Did you do Individual Update SD Cards or Sync Updates? If you did individual SD Cards maybe they got mixed up and the wrong one went in the wrong device. With the Sync Update all the S/N are there so it will update any of your devices. (Actually don't know about the G600, but I'm guessing Sync will not show up as an option if it won't work.)

I just plugged it in the G Trainer. As soon as I put in OBUCO in while loading the Approach it popped up with the Standard Course Reversal screen. So maybe it was just a fluke.

What Approach? And did the GPS175 ask if you wanted to do the PT or not? If the system is new to you, is it possible you said No when it asked? You can also always check the Flight Plan screen to see if there is a PT/Hold programmed in there or not.

It could be as simple as a loose connector at either the FreeFlight or the GPS end. Next could be a pin the finally vibrated out or the FreeFlight actually failed. The loose connector you should be able to check yourself. After that I'm guessing a avionics shop is in your future. I guess one other thought would be if you can install any kind of Software updates to the FreeFlight. Even if it's the same SW version, just reloading it might resolve the issue. But again, I'm guessing that too is a shop item.

Or I believe you can install a GI 275 which is a much more robust unit. Yes, pricier than the G5, but you should be able to drop it in where your AeroCruze 230 currently is located and get a lot more out of the required upgrade. And I really haven't done much research on autopilots, but seems like a lot of people have S-Tec. Is that an option for you?

I'd go with the LEDs. But if for some reason you do not want to, my 14v recognition bulbs are about to come out when I put in the LEDs I got from @OSUAV8TER.

I'm not sure of the current cost of the Aspen EA-100 adapter, but that should work with the KFC150 - assuming all the other variables are there. Check with your Avionics Shop, it might be the easiest way to go. Also check that the electrical AI is or can be the backup to the Aspen and that your old vacuum AI isn't (currently) required. I'm assuming the two AIs were there before the Aspen, so it is possible the vacuum AI is the required one and the electrical on might just be there. Doesn't mean there are not other option, just make sure that's not a "gotcha" you were not expecting.

There are also a few videos of at least one plane (I'm sure more) landing with the tow-bar hanging from the gear.

More or less the mantra I was taught. My modification is I don't mind leaving it by the front of the plane if it is NOT attached and NOT in a location I would just climb in and start up.

Just to toss this out there and there is another thread on this.... If the GFC500 looses GPS data, it will go into level flight mode (forget the actual term). So it still could be a connector/pin issue, but loss of GPS signal may have been your issue.

So another curiosity has gotten the better of me... What are people's thoughts on what they do with the tow-bar after they've pushed back at the restaurant, after getting fuel, in your hangar, etc.? Someplace where the planes not going to be parked outside for hours or days while you're not near by? I'm asking because for a while now I keep seeing people post photos of their plane or other planes sitting on the ramp with the tow-bar connected to the gear with the handle on the ground. (Not here, mostly FB.) Back in the day I was taught NEVER to leave the tow-bar attached to the plane if I was not actually moving it. If I'm going to walk away or just let the plane sit for a little while on a level ramp, I'll pull it out and use it as a mini chock hooked either around the back of the wheel or in front to make sure the plane doesn't roll whichever would be a "bad" direction. So is it training, culture, just the people that do it are the same personality to always be posting images of their plane??? Am I just seeing this or have others noticed it as well?

That actually should be your GTN that makes that determination. And yes, Enroute the Wpt are "Fly-By" so you just need to be close and the GTN (and other Navigators) will anticipate and start the turn early. Then there are "Fly-Over" Wpts where you actually have to cross the Wpt before you turn. There are a few of these in the Enroute system and certainly on Approaches. You can tell a Fly-Over Wpt by the Circle around the typical Wpt ballooned cross or star. A Missed Approach Point is and example of a Fly-Over Wpt with the Circle.

Which version of FF do you have? Not positive, but I think you can create the list of items on the Flights page in the W&B. That's where I do it in my Performance Plus version.

Excellent!

Should have added in the OP that I was just curious if there was something different with the KFC150 and the KFC200.

What year M? The 1990 POH shows "Gross Weight" and Max. Landing Weight. I don't see a Takeoff Weight.
