Without having a backup AI in my panel, I won't fly IMC more than going thru a layer. I don't trust it. And that's sad for a $7k (installed) piece Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

If he removed the vac system as I did, and the E5 allows, the single max wouldn't qualify without a backup, right? I'd go for it otherwise TBH. Probably even would spring for a mfd1000 max to make it legal. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

My guess is most people with Garmin navigators will install the G5s, or the g3x, etc. The ifd and aspen combo is likely what the anti G crowd goes for. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I had an E5 installed into my E model back at annual in May. First long xc I was on after install was with my IFR instructor. The E5 crashed and reset on me in flight about 5 hrs I to that trip. I brought it to my installer and said take it back, give me the G5s for redundancy. He laughed, pulled some logs and it went nowhere. I'll probably sell it at a loss and install dual G5s on my dime when the GFC500 is available for short bodies. I've put probably 80 ish hrs on it since that first crash and it's been just fine. Sad to see it appears to be a systemic issue. Edit, if it matters mine is also paired to an ifd440 Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

My airplane improvement account is growing and it made me wonder where my autopilot STC is? Anyone want to make bets as to who is first for our short bodies? Trutrak or GFC500? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

19 new posts and you all got me excited thinking the STC approval was contained in the news here. Still enjoying my IFD 440 and E5 and still waiting for my trutrak Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Bringing this old thread back up. If the factory is closed, what's the likelihood of getting the 310 hp upgrade STC? I flew with another who had this on his O and said you also got a gross weight increase with this too?

At first they furloughed roughly 2/3 of their staff. This quote says all. Is all meaning 3/3 or just the same 2/3? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Yep. And both those brands have gotten free product placement starring in many YouTube videos I've watched. Steveo in FL seems to be the best at getting the reps to let him fly their demos. Cirrus many times with their FL rep and Mindy with textron. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

On the Mooney Facebook group they said 2 of the 4 delivered acclaim Ultras were in fatal accidents. If that's true, it would make one wonder if the correlation is there. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I don’t have the desire to exercise the plane like I used to. It doesn’t even have to do with chores at the home either. We don’t travel a lot but when we do, I’d like to make the trip in the plane. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I've got my E owned outright. Don't need to sell or partner for the money. Engine is in great health. Love the plane. Have it outfitted just the way I want. Typically love flying. Looking ahead over next 24-36 months I really won't have enough time to fly it as much as it should be. I'd like to keep the plane for traveling on fun trips with wife and pending newborn but can't see burning holes in the sky just for fun like I have been. Want to bring in one, possibly 2 partners so it keeps flying routinely. Any pointers from those who have done so successfully? Anyone want to join in with me at KDAY?

I saw the topic and was hopeful they got their stc. Guess I’ll keep waiting Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

How do the new ones look? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I ordered a set after Oshkosh and they came in 2 days. Love them. My zulu3 is now a spare. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I’d like to be able to afford a new m600, even if it’s used in a few years. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I emailed the factory with my serial number and they emailed mine to me. You can import the PDF from there. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Is IAS climb a feature that is coming? How about flying an ILS or approaches in general? If the ILS goes from my IFD box to my Aspen as a digital signal, can't you all use it then? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Good luck with your entrepreneurial endeavors! Nothing like taking a huge leap of faith and betting your money on something you believe in. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

What is your fuel flow in that scenario? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

What do you get for KTAS in your ovation? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Was looking at flight aware for a listing of All Americans, N123BB, and they filed at 197 mph / 171 ktas at 13,000. Anyone care to comment on that performance? Im asking since it frankly seems a little slow for a bravo. Anyone know anything more regarding that plane in particular? I'm considering upgrading my E and this one was suggested to me for it's FIKI. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

We're expecting our first and I have my wife on board moving up to a long body. Love your pics! Oh, and totally agree Brian is a great guy. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Kudos for docking the iPad vertically. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
