This has been sold. Thanks folks.

That is unfortunate. Looks like the 653337 is superseded by 670105, the 653332 isn't.

I also went with SoundEx, bought it directly from them. I feel like I hear a difference between these new ones compared to the factory installed fiberglass version. I replaced everything inside the cabin. And agree with @LANCECASPER, there is clearly a difference in temperature compared to the previous one. SoundEx ships with all the necessary certificates.

I bought extras not knowing which one will show up when, but I now have an extra at the shop if anyone wants to buy one. This is the 670105 Rev A (riveted). This one pictured is from Textron, the other one is from AirPowerInc where the 8130 doesn't have my tail number in it. $950 ($854 + taxes and free shipping).

I recommend it if you already have your IFR rating. Or wait to get it and then go get it. The basics are easily picked up by practice and reading the manual. The training class is mostly around using the GTNs for IFR with a compatible PFD and GFC. They go through various IFR scenarios. GTN is a powerful system. There’s online version as well for those who don’t want to do the in-person class. The in-person training asks you to complete the online course prior to class.

Looks great! Enjoy it

You can remove the address on the airmen information page through this site: https://www.faa.gov/pilots/lic_cert/change/releasability See the "If you address appears in the database and you would like to remove it, or does not and you would like to add it, you can change the releasability status online" portion of the page.

During a recent avionics upgrade, I received two Garmin GI 275 units that were factory overhauled by Garmin as part of an exchange. To speed up my installation timeline, I purchased brand-new units instead, so these are now available for sale. What does “newly overhauled” mean? These units were sent to Garmin, fully inspected, tested, and brought to like-new condition per FAA-approved procedures. They come with the same functional performance as new units and are typically issued with a fresh warranty when installed by a Garmin dealer (check with your shop for details). Units for Sale: GI 275 ADAHRS (no autopilot) – $3,900 (Retail: $4,595) GI 275 ADAHRS + Autopilot Support – $4,900 (Retail: $5,595) See attached pictures, ask questions. If the title of the post doesn't say sold, it's still available. Local pick up option available to save shipping costs. We can meet at my Garmin avionics shop if interested to test prior to purchase. Thanks, Shawn

That's an amazing effort from Eagle to be transparent. Also has data that most of public don't have easy access to.

My adapter had failed, one of the springs inside broke. While it was being serviced, figured it was a good time to get the starter taken care of too. It hadn’t been serviced since install.

Though I think they may have the wrong part number listed in the 8130. They inspected, repaired and sent mine back.

@Ragsf15e Looks like I had one OH’ed at Western Skyways. Here’s the part number:

@hammdo was able to restrict information on the FAA site for his LLC. FlightAware still shows city, state and the owner name but no address. Maybe this will change in the future.

ChatGPT looks like is using FAA’s source and not revealing owner information. I like the text surrounding it… If the owner’s information is withheld, as permitted by law, you may consider submitting a formal request to the FAA for access to the aircraft’s registration records. This process may involve submitting a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request and paying any applicable fees. For more information on this process, visit the FAA’s Aircraft Registration Branch page. Additionally, third-party websites like FlightAware and RegoSearch aggregate FAA data and may provide ownership information, unless it has been withheld. Please note that accessing or using personal information obtained through these means should comply with all applicable privacy laws and regulations.

.. cause it does!

Probably a good reference for you would be the factory bulletin on the topic : Service Instruction No. 1427 C Lycoming Reciprocating Engine Break-In and Oil Consumption https://www.lycoming.com/content/service-instruction-no-1427c

+1 on this, more likely than oil cooler lines installed in reverse order. Lines are typically of specific lengths and hard to orient in a different way. But agree with the rest - more information will be useful to get a better perspective.

Since it's a pre-buy, make sure the aircraft wasn't previously serviced by the same shop you pick for your pre-buy. You may also want to check with Spanaflight if they are willing to do the pre-buy. https://spanaflight.com/maintenance/. Mike Schuerman was honest about my previous inquiries. They also have a shop at KOLM so may be beneficial to establish a relationship.

I agree, tracking flights is not a problem. My beef is with folks using the owner data to send warning “notices” incorrectly to pilots. A thing that has magnified recently here in the Pacific Northwest.

My hope is legislation will dictate that these sites can’t expose the data so they will have to scrub historical data.

There’s separate legislation that is supposedly being worked on to limit that as well. I will have to look up the article in one of the aviation magazines. Like I said, small victory

Quick update: although I didn't receive any email from FAA, I decided to randomly check this evening and my aircraft ownership information was hidden on the FAA N-Number registry site. Small victory.

@Parker_Woodruff any thoughts on this? If it drops insurance rates, I would be up for flying to FL for this :-)

Congrats @Ragsf15e - now cross the mountains and get over to the west side for lunch :-)

Nevermind, I take that back. The Maps and Charts section of the menu is located at the bottom of the menu. I am used that section being at the top in Foreflight and you know the UI here vaguely resembles some other app's UI ...
