I object. Having flown SR20ies I always found myself uncomfortable with it. The SR20 is quite low powered for its wings and there is not much forgiving in riding the envelope. The SR22 is much better due to the more power. Biggest trouble for me was to keep an eye on speed in the SR20, if I remember correctly the stall at bank was horror due to the clean laminar profile, something like 99 knots for 45 or 60 bank correct? You can get the SR20 slow, but only in quite stable wings level - once you bank, the stall speed goes through the roof. Maybe nice for airliner training, but definitely not for the ordinary private pilot. A 172 or warrior will be worlds more forgiving when you don't hit the correct speed, in contrast you have to fly the numbers rather correct to hit THE single speed spot on a SR20.

My G5 does show GS, but it is only a tiny marker. You need good vision ;-) and - I went back to the big indicator.

Just a small remark, you should not update the G5 while moving - neither while taxiing nor flying. After systems updates the G5 runs a couple of check routine, which will bust if it is confused by ordinary in-movement sensor readings. The G5 may have stayed in system check mode on battery after it got confused.

Thank you ! And sorry for not introducing myself in this forum. I'll do that when I am finished with my current Mooney purchase :-).

And beware, every airfield in Europe does have the freedom to do their landing fee schemes by themselves. It is most common in Europe now to not accept any noise certificate if you are flying on N-reg - bad trap !

In most cases there is no longer any need for a separate EASA STC, you can use the FAA STC under the new EASA regime. Doing the paperworks and dealing with authorities ranges from very easy in some cases to extensively complicated (especially when national AAs become involved), but there are a few very good consultants now in Europe to assist these processes!

Didn't you tell'em you bring your own Mooney?
