Ovation Batteries: around 850 each. Plan ahead...they are hard to find!

I also appreciate the LHS. I orginally bought it because I thought it would help me aid in resolution of site picture of long/wide versus narrow/short runways and it did that. My experience level isnt high and wanted to be able to land at new airports consistently. I typically will also cheat using computed glide path of gtn750 if nothing more than to assist landing on the R or L runway. Goal achieved. The "check landing gear" compels a look down to ensure gear is locked. I like that. I'm considering upgrade to gear position checking but I think the habit of a look down every time for locked gear is good habit and not sure I want to not be asked each time. Freddy

Yes! VPLCP...sorry about that.

My route has been PXN AVE PMD VPLC HDF to F70. Its less busy, plus I dont have to deal with potential vectors and restrictions near KONT! Now only that, lower terrain through Cajon Pass is appreciated. You can do this at 9500 no problem. Once you get into KONT area, there is lots of traffic regardless. Continuing on, one easy way to get to KSEE from there is to go direct from HDF to RNM, underfly the Bravo 100/48 turning east 20 degrees or so, then turn to VPSLJ, then into KSEE. I too have used LHS and DARTS higher at 11,500, but coastal marine layer at the time was a concern so my Bay Area to SD area is going to be as shown on the first line. Plus those will put you into high traffic. Just more thoughts for you!

Any information here would be appreciated as this is my upgrade path as well and with A/C.

Another tip is the contacts on the card need to be exercised by ejecting and reinstalling multiple times. I thought I had a bad card but finally work through the issue.

Will plan on this as well.

I certainly stop there as it is easy to get in and out!

Thank for your write up. I do have multiple SD cards but never really had a use case till last trip which saved me stress! I really like the 510 as I always trip plan away from the airplane and have very detailed plans which quickly transfer (do not wish to tap these into the gtn750). I also wirelessly update gi275's and gtn750. I've not transferred any cards since I installed the 510 close to a year ago. Anyway, I was hoping someone also saw the "blue" continue button could chime in on their root cause. For me, I think its a data corruption issue. I've since reformatted the card and hoping this took care of the bad sectors, etc. Things do go bad over time and the operating system is supposed to be able to cure these types of issues but who knows what Garmin did. It would be interesting to know which OS they modeled after or if they started from scratch. Freddy

And you have seen similar behavior that I did? Please describe more. Thank you.

Hi Everyone, Had a situation yesterday while returning home...Flightstream 510 card was causing gtn750 to freeze after the 2nd "continue" (could not get beyond this screen with the 510). I was not presented with option to connect or update db's. At this point, the continue button turned blue and gtn750 became completely unresponsive. The DB's were up to date but I happen to notice that the last two (terrrain and charts?) were claimed to be missing all together. I should have grabbed video but was pressed for time and the sun was lowering along with increasing haze. First startup of the day did the same thing but a reboot allowed me past. This time, I rebooted 4-6 times to no avail. Normally one taps "continue" twice, but not yesterday. I was at run up area and had to return back, shutdown and fish for an older card which luckily I had. Has anyone ran into this with the flightstream 510? I'd say I have a corrupt disk but I do not want to go through this again so I really need to solve this. I suppose at this point, the lesson is that always have multiple cards on you with up to date DB's which sorta defeats my purpose of having 510 to do the updates and read in flight plans from Garmin Pilot. Technically I could have gotten home but not without operating out my norm and sweating along the way! Thoughts/Experiences? Thank you. Freddy

I'll have to look for the next one...unfortunately, I am unable to take more time off at this time. Freddy

I would like to participate weather permitting and time permitting. What are the potential dates?

@ilovecornfields good to know! Looks like a few things...check probe location, check baffles, if indeed cht 5 this pixie it, etc. Thank everyone for looking at the graphs!

This is all super helpful information. Given me ideas on how to proceed. Hopefully @kortopates can weigh in. Engine:280HP, FF: 26 (was set lower previously which presented bigger challenges) Not aware of any baffle changes. Cowl has been on and off multiple times and problem has persisted each time. I suppose the probes could be reversed which would say alot. I probably need to ID each to ensure they are installed correctly. Probably should also consider upgrading subscription to Saavy... Freddy
