Thanks so total of 6 k including labor ?

Does anyone know the lifetime of the amsafe system on a M20M Bravo .... controller / airbags.... Did anyone do the inspection where system needs to be overhauled? How much is the cost to overhaul the system? thanks in advance Filippo

Good evening , i have a quick question on arrival procedures with step down fix. when loaded on the G-1000 I do see the Direct Vnav botton key to activate and a magenta arrow comes out on the PFD with recommended VVI, is there on the stec55-X version 7 a way to enable the ALT GS function, like happens on GPS approaches with LPV minima? thanks

Inset when I'm lazy and don't wanna reach MFD, this is why will stay like that for a very long time, until something really breaks that will force me to change it

The switch is not broken or cracked and when you rotate it feels normal, you can feel the normal clicking like on the mfd, it just not change the zoom level of the inset. If you push it the cursor comes on normally and you can move it around, it's just the rotating function that doesn't work properly.... I thought you could clean the contact but apparently seems like that is not a solution.... so bummer bummer bummer.... I guess I will not change the zoom level on the pad for a while.... until needed to replace the unit for some other major malfunction!!! bummer

Bummer!!!

Good evening, i'm having a problem with the range knob on pfd. If you push it the arrow comes out and you can move it around, but if you try to rotate it to change the inset range, the knob rotates but no changing in zoom, is there a procedure to clean it or is one of those things that requires the change of the entire unit? thanks filippo

Thanks, I guess I will wait for now, between buying the plane, upgrading her to WAAS and ADS-B out , I spent enough.... if I do another upgrade I guess I will face a divorce

Hi Russ, actually for the pitch down problem there was an SB to apply after the WAAS upgrade M20-291A. Pretty much the 2 cables going to pitch servo needed to be inverted. If not the super nice dive was taking place.... filippo

It's interesting, because with 14.02 software I do have nexrad weather on my G1000, that is actually not an issue. Even my airplane was coming with all unlock features, but the cards where not in my package when I bought the airplane, so I 'm kind of screwed. i was able to get a replacement card for the jeppesen chart, but for SVT will be a fight, nothing was on my log books regarding the unlock of all these feature, so it's difficult to prove it was done. mooney went belly up and with new ownership , all records have not been passed along. for jeppesen was easy to proof with previous owner subscription invoices , but for SVT, except from previous owner saying it was there I have no proof . updating the software to Waas, cancelled all previously unlocked features. I called also previous avionics shop which worked on my airplane, but after 7 years there is not a requirement to keep the files and my unlock happened in 2008.... so I'm fuc..ed

Hopefully someone who did the upgrade before me will be able to answer to those few questions. I did complete the installation and it was kind of a nightmare because the previous owner didn't have the garmin unlock card so after the WAAS upgrade i was not able to use Jeppesen chart anymore. Anyway i bought the unlock card and now i will be able to get Jeppesen chart back . Is the syn vis optional and requires an additional unlock card, if so how much will cost? on my Jeppesen pilot pak they include the 4.9 terrain package which offers way more details, but my update GDU is 14.02 so not compatible with it.... any update? is there a 15.xx version? Last but not least I tried a couple approach, but G1000 and Stec went crazy and dropped me. if you are on an airway and they clear you to a direct point in the approach, when do you activate the approach and in which autopilot modes? thanks again Filippo

Can you send it to me as well please? let me know and will PM you .... thanks Filippo

I was at 1530-1570 ROP never even tried LOP as you can see from temperature and fuel flow. So I was actually running reacher than you do, but noted the 29" at cruise instead of 31. i have noticed that if I go around 1600 my cht on 1 and 6 cylinders are going over 400 at around 410 all the others are at 385 ish. thanks Filippo

Hi Mike, i was running it at about 1530-1550 is it ok? I guess map slightly lower so around 29-30? thanks
