LANCECASPER

That's a long flight from Luxembourg.

I used the blue fluorosilicone ones on my previous Mooneys. The Acclaim uses different fuel caps.

Aspen has nothing to do with Avidyne. https://aspenavionics.com/ https://www.avidyne.com/ It might be preferable to trade it in for an Aspen Max than to repair it.

I know that there is no rudder trim on an Aerocruze 100, but was there anything during the recent installation that was moved out of the way and put back that could be binding?

In years past there were a lot of field approvals. But that would be one brave FSDO employee to be the first one to do that in today's FAA. Even if it is legal I don't see anyone putting their career on the line with that signature. I also don't see what there would be to gain as the aircraft owner. It is always the people that are shopping or don't have G1000s that discuss this and are concerned about it. Would the installed GFC700 be part of the G1000 removal? I love the integration of the G1000 and have to admit that until I flew with it I wasn't a fan. Since I've flown with it I wouldn't think about taking it out.

The G1000 is on the Type Certificate for all G1000 Mooneys, so wouldn't you need a Supplemental Type Certificate?

As @Schllc mentioned a few days ago on this post, he just recently added them to his Acclaim, so yes they are still available from Mooney through a Mooney Service Center.

Another benefit is that all of our airplanes will get sold someday. G1000 airplanes without WAAS linger on the market for many months and many times the seller ends up having to discount more than the WAAS upgrade price since the perception of the buyer is, "What else have they cut corners on?". Also if there are no WAAS units available down the road the discount might be a fire sale price. My thinking would be: "If you're going to end up "paying" for the upgrade when you sell it, in the form of a discount, why not upgrade it now and get some benefit out of the upgrade while you own it? Then when it does go on the market someday down the road it should sell a lot sooner."

How new? The large black outer o-rings can develop cracks in a year. The blue flourosilicone o-rings are much better. However it's the internal small o-ring that gets missed on the fuel cap. It's harder to change and you can't see the condition without taking the fuel cap apart. If there is water sitting in the cap and that o-ring is old it will get by there and you will have water in the tank. As me how I know. It only took me once to learn that lesson. https://www.csobeech.com/fuel-caps.html

I can think of a few reasons why I wouldn't want to do that. 1 Why would you want to be out of balance that far with all of the fuel on one side? 2 If the engine runs rough on the fuel from one side you could suspect water in that side and you would know that after your first tank change over. If the good side is now empty and it starts running rough you don't have any options other than perhaps an off field landing 3 There have been instances on Mooneyspace where the pilot said that the fuel selector was very difficult or impossible to turn. If I have stayed on one tank and run it dry and now I am unable to select the other tank I'm going to be landing wherever I can in the next couple minutes. If I have been switching tanks every 30-60 minutes, I know the selector works and even if it malfunctions at that point at least I have time to find a place to land by staying on the tank I am on.

Perhaps, but it's not available as an upgrade for a legacy Mooney G1000. If it was available, what you would gain would be a somewhat better resolution screen, a faster processor and the ability to transfer flight plans via Connext. Recently some owners and techs have made it possible to use a Garmin Flightstream 210 with the legacy G1000 to transfer flight plans via Connext. This upgrade is less than 10% of what it would cost to upgrade to an NXi if it was available.

Search for whatever you're looking for. Here's are 133 pages searching for "G1000": https://mooneyspace.com/search/?q=G1000&quick=1 Here are the results for "G1000 NXi": https://mooneyspace.com/search/?q="G1000 Nxi"&quick=1&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy

Only the GIA63W with an -01 or a -20 suffix are compatible with the system in the Mooney. There has been much discussion on here about the G1000 NXi. Mooney has to initiate it and pay for it. Figures have been thrown around as far as what Mooney would have to invest. I've heard $200,000 plus whatever outstanding money that Mooney already owes Garmin.

I Have only one landing and take-off at the Edinburg airport
