No Joy on Landing Gear Extension - J Model
flyboy0681 replied to Brent's topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
I had the same problem about three years ago and called around to MSC’s throughout the country to no avail. In the end I found the assembly right down the road from me at Premier. I caught hell here for paying $2,400 and not replacing the relays individually (one comment suggested using a relay from a tractor). I feel I did the right (and legal) thing. -

Or acquire $10b worth of Intel stock. -
That Piper must be pretty noisy with that huge gap in the door seal.

Was the airport/facility affected by the flooding?

I just didn’t want this to devolve and go down into the proverbial rabbit hole. I’m just inquiring on what fellow owners are paying.

Let’s try to stay on topic.

Sorry, Dual. I corrected it.

What are you guys (and gals) paying out there for an OH, and what kind of lead time have you experienced?

Seems to be the trend. One of my favorite airport spots was the 3-Zero Cafe at Half Moon Bay. Now long gone.

You have a big, beautiful 750 (like me) and don't have it hooked up to a GDL-88?

On the outside chance that this can happen due to normal use, I carry needle nose pliers in my flight bag - just in case.

I went up with my instructor yesterday and shot several approaches from under the hood while using SmartCharts. I won't lie, it is considerably better than the government charts, mostly due to the removal of so much clutter. All that is presented is the information that I need to know, and the ability to select only the frequencies, briefing and missed tab at the top, well, is the icing on the cake.

With the new version I was two releases back. When I downloaded the update it brought it up to the release prior to the new one, which I thought was odd because I too was looking for the new feature. About thirty minutes later I went back to the App Store and it downloaded the new version. I'm thinking that GP needed to be at the latest release before it could update to the current.

Most interesting. Flight orientation would have been the icing on the cake, but it appears to be an incredible leap forward for IFR flying. It's a shame that that incredible panel (including Smart Glide) has to fly at such low speeds.

Since there aren't any videos of actual flights yet, I'm wondering if the Smartchart orients itself based on position. For example, if flying a course reversal, will the map and labels be oriented for the direction of flight or is it fixed like an approach plate?
