My gps doesn’t yell out every 100 feet and jam up my headset with callouts during a time I should be listening for commands from tower or local traffic.

The age of the participant of that testimonial is exactly what I’d expect. if you can’t figure out how high you are on landing by looking out the window, that’s a problem. id say this is more a distraction than anything. Both at non towered environments and controlled environments.

The hdx can display a nav radio from a Garmin or Avidyne nav com in addition to gps. no need for a separate indicator.

If you have mechanic and electric abilities it’s really not difficult. I’ve done it and know several others who have done it with IA supervision. doing it yourself will result in a full glass panel for under 40k potentially depending on what you do about nav/com.

Yawn. Touch and goes are a normal part of training and staying current and proficient. There is nothing wrong either way touch and goes.

Step one hope step two pray. do a lot of waiting in between.

You don’t speak for the others following.

That’s literally what it is. yes Mike, that seems to be exactly what this is. It’s a nothing sandwich. A document with a header, and a footer, containing nothing.

That’s literally nothing. It literally says they are not aware of any issues, but if you do have issues, to please report them. nothing to see here let me ask a practical question to the 3 of you. - When all paths to a drop in replacement are exhausted and none are found, what do you think the next step is? It’s NOT “oh I guess we need to use leaded fuel forever”. You’re going to HAVE to do something to make your aircraft compliant with whatever the requirements are, or scrap it. That’s what it is. At least 1 of the 3 of you thinks this is strictly someone else’s problem to figure out financially. And it isn’t, and it never will be.

People want to talk about “the best Mooney shop this” and Don is the best Mooney mechanic that”. when you go to the shop who is turning the wrenches? I’ve had only one experience with that shop asking about log entries they made, and it was not good.

Now that this thread has wound down to 3, maybe 4 people circle talking the same thing repeatedly, surely the FAA will take notice and make change.

Before someone starts going on (incorrectly) about insurance rates, this was like - 10 years ago.

This is tiresome. how’s getting gami to pay for your tank patch working out?

Oh yeah, you’re right. The old “wood “ overlay. It’s been a minute since I’ve seen anything with that still in place.

… not sure what you’re trying to do exactly but replacing the panel is always an A&P job. All the instruments need to come out as well.
