ACCEPTING OFFERS - Mooney M20J "Super"
chriscalandro replied to Offito's topic in Aircraft Classifieds
It’s too bad all the links of the airplanes you can buy for the same money or less is gone… -
I like the new layout and modernized gui. It takes a minute to relearn where things are but the web app based approach helps filter and provide more useful information instead of going through a bunch of different web pages. Im sure this approach is WAY easier to keep updated and relevant as weather and time change.

If you’ve built a 360 it seems like you have the knowledge to take advantage of going the experimental route again. Seems like a 4p or even an RV10 would have fit the bill pretty well. id be very nervous about spending that kind of money on an airplane that’s very difficult to get factory support and parts from, and which barely exists.

Advice welcome - Avionics upgrade
chriscalandro replied to blaine beaven's topic in Avionics/Panel Discussion
It’s likely too late now but for the money you’re spending I’m wondering if it’s worth looking at a g3x. for the price of the G5s and the JPI, plus the other stuff, I really don’t think you’re far enough off to at least consider it. -
He was probably going through checklists on his navigator and got lost. Seems like people here think that’s a major issue (getting lost because you covered your Nav with checklists)
-
If you’re a new pilot planning to use or has interest in using modern equipment, you should train with someone capable of using that modern equipment and who is not afraid of it. There are many devices that you can buy that increase safety and ADSB is absolutely one of them. A good CO monitor is another, and so is a satellite based tracker.
-
So we’ve gone from hank thinking you can’t use ASSB traffic and look out the window at the same time to using an electronic checklist in a display or navigator will get you lost? I’m not sure how this guy manages to stand up and brush his teeth at the same time.
-
For the record ADSB traffic for properly equipped aircraft is air to air with very minimal latency and delay. If you are using ADSB from air to air you can pretty much watch the target fly by in real time out the window and on the display. it’s nice to be able to easily correct wrong information posted here without the misinformed interjecting nonsense.
-
The newer generation of ADSB in devices like the Sentry include CO sensors and integrates directly with ForeFlight providing visible and audible alerts. you would be crazy to fly in the modern day without using these technologies to be always watching a display of your choice for things like weather, traffic, CO, TFRs or notams you may have missed, and other hazards and information.
-
Again, incorrect. I’ve never said that you shouldn’t look out the window while also watching an ADSB in device. no rational person would think that and no rational person would interpret my comments that way. you have repeatedly proven you aren’t capable of rational thought. Also, let’s look at this example you mentioned. If looking out the window is so effective as a sole source of information, why didn’t the pilot in the back seat spot the incoming airplane with plenty of time to warn the PIC of the incoming traffic?
-
facts, not opinions. ADSB has proven to increase situational awareness, inform decision making, and reduce incidents like mid air collisions. you mean like the Stone Age, where it appears you developed most of your (factually incorrect) knowledge? My feelings they’re so hurt. This will surely have a major impact on the thoughts I have on all the data and analytics you’re wrong about. You’ve shown that no matter how much you’re wrong, you’re going to be a CB and force those around you to have to deal with your arrogance. Perfect. Stay over there.
-
You are correct in that it’s very clearly laid out. And it doesn’t say what you think it says. In fact it says the exact opposite. If you are in fact entering airspace where ADSB is required in the manner you state above, you are doing so against the FAR and is a violation. Also, ADAPT is NOT a way to circumvent the regulation and using it for such (as you described) is also against the FAR. Please note: The FAA will not issue in-flight authorizations to operators of non-equipped aircraft, nor will air traffic control (ATC) facilities accept requests for these types of authorizations by telephone. An ATCclearance to operate in airspace where ADS-B is required is NOT an authorization to operate without compliant ADS-B. Can I get a one-time deviation from the requirement? Pilots/operators using aircraft that do not meet ADS-BOut equipage or performance requirements may request an authorization to deviate from the rule to access ADS-B Out rule airspace. The FAA has developed the ADS-B Deviation Authorization Preflight Tool (ADAPT) to manage these authorization requests. ADAPT is the only FAArecognized method for making these requests. ADAPTis intended for non-routine and non-scheduled, single flights. In order to be considered for an ADS-B deviation authorization with ADAPT, requests must meet the following criteria: Aircraft must be equipped with an operational transponder and operational altitude encoder (i.e. Mode C) Request submitted no more than 24 hours before flight Request submitted no less than 1 hour before flight

If you think a screen showing the traffic in your general vicinity is information overload, you have just proven my point. If you think you shouldn’t install ADSB because it’s information overload for everyone else and you want everyone else to look out the window, THATS arrogant egotistical and moronic. ADSB out isn’t for you. It’s for everyone else. the current generation of pilots is doing just fine with their screens and their windows. You can either join the program or stick to your Stone Age logic.
-
It is NOT that hard to pay attention to ADSB display and look out the window. Anybody under 80 has been doing it the last 15 years. if you can’t manage to get your brain to understand that more information is better than no information, that’s a problem with logic and judgement. if you are not using ADSB out, you are not telling everyone else where you are. If you aren’t using ADSB in, you don’t know where everyone is who is actively telling you where everyone is. and that’s stupid, especially in a high traffic area no where did I say you should stare only at the screen.
-
Not in or above C/B they aren’t. which pretty much means you aren’t getting into the LA area, and you certainly aren’t flying your nordo cub very many places at all. Not installing ADSB to an aircraft capable of having it installed (inexpensively I might add) is an increase to risk for you and those around you. Without question.
-
I fly a 200kt plus airplane in SoCal. It’s very busy here and you would be stupid to not be watching the ADSB traffic at all times. When you’re looking out the window for the one guy they told you about, you’re probably not going to see the 2 others near you that they didn’t call about. it’s a lot easier and benefit to see something in a screen miles off than something outside a half mile away. If you even see it.

First annual inspection approaching - seeking guidance
chriscalandro replied to CChris's topic in Florida Mooney Flyers
If your airplane is in Florida just follow the advice of everyone on here and plan for your airplane to be scrapped due to all the corrosion in Florida. It’s repeatedly said that nobody here has interest in Florida planes. Might as well just throw it out now.
