Foreflight VFR sectional has both those waypoints. There are no VOR compass roses around them though

That copy and paste link didn’t work Google it

changes airnav list of airport identifier changes

One of my favorite things about our 97 J is the new style interior. Yours is identical. Very nice aircraft

I just replaced my EDM-700 (and Shadin Mimi-flo) with the 830. Only have 1.2 hour flight home but the display is much easier to read than the 700. The 700 had developed a sticky Step button and didn’t have MP or RPM sensors. I spent an hour yesterday in the hangar changing warning limits and customizing the horizontal bar displays. Next task is to get the K- factor dialed in.

Increased $1 over last week at home airport

But then you miss the entertainment value of those posts

@kortopates posted this in 2020: AVGAS <> 100LL, Avgas weighed ~6 lbs/Gal, but Avgas is no longer and 100LL weighs less and why modern Mooney POH's now say to use 5.82lbs/gal for 100LL But be careful, Mooney still uses or assumes the AVGAS weight in their documentation including the TCDS and POH when specifying unusable fuel weight. They only clarify with a note that says use 5.83 Lb/Gal with 100LL but otherwise pretty much uses or assumes 6lb/gal when they give weight numbers for fuel in both POH & TCDS. Of course such details are only of importance to owners/pilots wanting to get as much legal useful load as possible out of their airframes.

He posted somewhere that he’s using his vacation time to visit his son in California, first time post Covid, and will not be at Oshkosh this year

Does that come with a guaranteed 5 knot increase in indicated airspeed?

And the occasional ADFapproach

FL also has hurricanes, alligators, heat and humidity, if you like those kinds of things We did find our Mooney in FL 17 years ago. Only place further from home would have been Key West

Rotator cuff, bicep tendon and torn supraspinatas tendon all repaired at the same time about 5 years ago. (basketball with 30 year olds). I thought the other shoulder needed it a couple years later but PT has allowed normal activities since.

Our original factory new engine developed a leak at the case half seam on the top somewhere around 1500 hours since new. The through bolts had loosened up, but retightening them did not completely stop the seap. The local A&P/IA applied some kind of gray sealant to the seam from the outside which stopped the leak. (Until the engine started making some metal at 1818 hours and was replaced with factory rebuilt)

54 of 67 Caravan slots are filled to date. June 30 is cutoff date to register

#3 son surprised me a couple of months ago when he started taking flight lessons at KFFZ. He soloed today. I ordered a Stratus 3 to give him as a congratulations gift

I’m liking my legacy King ADI and HSI even more Hoping they keep working for a long time
