Rmnpilot

I like that the second page of the briefing gives me a snapshot of what I’m dealing with as planned. Then I can go through the document and see what I’m up against. . I’ve gone back and forth with pilot vs FF. For the value, GP all the way. Split screen with traffic? Oxygen saturation from my garmin d2 on the main page? Split screen with profile view? I love being able to see my route, where the icing is forecast at altitudes along my route, modify my route and make the wise decision. To get this with foreflight, I’d pay $370/year. Garmin is $210/year. In the big picture it’s a minimal difference, but it’s still something.

@Sam Judd I am interested in the sidewinder. Sent you a message Ryan

I didn’t think the G5s could control the Bendix autopilots, at least not anything with attitude? The 275s can. Either way, you should be able to remove the vacuum as long as nothing else relies on the system.

It’s the self test beeps and the solid tone when you disable the autopilot, however there is a volume adjustment that can be changed. I have been too busy with work travels to mess with it.

I recently updated my audio panel and with the update, my kfc-150 aural alert is significantly louder than before. From what I can see on the internet, there is an adustment screw for volume, but I don’t know where the box physically is in the bravo. Has anyone messed with this? I would rather not pull the glareshield if I dont have to but I am guessing it’s behind that. Thoughts?

I am planning to be there. Flying from Wisconsin to a customer in Massachusetts Thursday am, then up to Burlington, Thursday late afternoon. Was originally planning on Owensboro but had an AOG issue that I had to clean up. Sunday, I’ll be off to Maine for work then home later next week. Looking forward to it!

So I will note this. The yellow line that is shown in the photos was covered with black seal coat by the time I arrived about noon yesterday. I had taken the photo on Tuesday at 5 pm. I even commented to a friend asking if he knew what happened. The yellow line is great when you have no other aircraft parked in weird spots. Maybe the pilot was simply following the taxi lines and oblivious to his actions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Im based at ATW and outside of the grass area where the plane was taxing, its all cirrus lined up with the mains in the grass and the nose on asphalt. I was at my hangar most of the day yesterday and heard nothing about it.

John Paul said this is not for the TIO-540 (bravo). It’s for the turbos that they already have done work with and can add the clamps to their parts lists. The TIO-540 clamps would be about a year out or so.

I talked with GAMI. For our Bravos, they are saying about a year out due to them needing to get on the AML and doing testing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll be there later this morning. I will update when I am able to get over there and talk to them Ryan

If you are planning to be at Oshkosh this year, there are typically deals on databases. I’m not sure what they are or on which packages they work with but it’s something to consider.

I can only speak for Appleton as I’m based there. Regardless of what you are flying, at a minimum your mains will be in the grass. Many times they have cirrus/retractables parked with nose wheels on pavement. In my opinion, Appleton is pretty organized with parking and the ground is pretty packed down. You are parking near the other T hangars on the field which have really good drainage.

Commercially there’s Appleton or GreenBay. Both have direct flights from Atlanta via Delta. Both usually have a shuttle available to the airventure grounds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It was my understanding that this popping noise is new to both the Bose A30 and the Lightspeed Delta Zulu as these are both new generation noise reducing headsets using digital noise reduction vs analog. The Bose A20 and Lightspeed Zulu 3 don't experience this since they are analog.

While I am not 6’7”, I am 6’4” and fit just fine in a Bravo. I guess it depends on where your height is at. I am near Oshkosh and we can figure out a time where I could swing by or meet at say Battle Creek if it works for you. Shoot me a PM if you want to discuss further.

@LANCECASPER I have had a few people reach out but they have been scammers. They were clearly scammers as I ask them to voice verify and it all falls apart. Trust but verify indeed.

@Ian Jeffries, Thanks but this is the pro-x. The pro-x are designed for turboprop and jets at they are on ear headsets. The one-x is over the ear, similar to Bose a20 and lightspeed.

I received this earlier this week from Precise Flight for the older 100 series electric speed brakes

Does anyone here have the repair manual for the 100 series electric speedbrakes? I can probably figure out how to adjust the microswitches, but thought I would ask given the thread. Thanks!

I own a 1994 Bravo with TKS. It’s non FIKI. So the differences are the panel style and the number of main pumps. Mine has one pump and I was told my panels don’t come as far down on the tail. My tank is the same capacity, all the tubing is the same, I just don’t have the second pump or panel coverage. I live in the Upper Midwest and don’t fly in freezing rain or crap weather regardless. In my opinion the systems ,regardless of FIKi or non FIKI, use TKS fluid to get out of the icing not to hang out in the stuff.

I am curious if anyone has a set of David Clark One-X that’l are sitting around collecting dust that they would want to sell. I don’t care if it’s dual plugs or Lemo. Thanks!

When I needed one, I contacted most every Mooney, Piper, exhaust and turbo shop out there. The Piper shops had them but wouldn’t sell them to me because they were repair facilities. I had one on order from Textron which if I recall was due to ship soon, but since I acquired one I cancelled that order. Perhaps someone has them now, just at a very inflated price. I’ll dig around and see if anyone I know has access to one.

I’m interested and sent a PM. Ryan

Figured I’d try here first (before I bought new) to see if anyone had a set of front seat sheepskin covers that would fit a bravo that they are wanting to sell. It appears they are the same size as on the ovations as well. Send me a message!
