  1. The part alone is $2795 http://aspenavionics.com/pricing
  2. Declaring an emergency usually equals no paperwork and gets you top priority and handling. Not declaring an emergency and then having an incident or accident is what usually ends up in a mound of paperwork.
  3. Please . . no pictures!!
  4. http://newsroom.garmin.com/news-releases/all/all/Aviation
  5. It does not inspire confidence when they can't spell "alternator"
  6. With your Stratus on and your iPad connected to the Stratus Wifi, please take a screen shot of your Fing page.
  7. My airplane is in for maintenance right now, but if I remember correctly on Fing the IFD didn't show up as "Avidyne", but maybe "Texas instruments" (maybe that's the WiFi chip in the Avidyne) Take a picture of your Config page in the Avidyne and the Fing page.
  8. Download a free app on your iPad called Fing to see if your Avidyne is joining your Stratus network. If it is you'll see it on the Fing app. Then look on Foreflight up near the top you'll see a little box near the AHRS selector that will allow you to transfer flight plans back and firth betwen the Avidyne and Forellight.
  9. If you don't need the AHRS, this announcement today may kill the Stratux: http://flywithscout.com
  10. Thanks for the clarification Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I certainly never claimed that - just that the one I talked to Saturday (at an FAA class I took) said controllers much prefer to get people off of the airways since it makes for better separation. But if you prefer to stack people up on the 1950's airways and cause people to burn more fuel than letting them go direct more power to you. By the way is there anyone on mooneyspace you haven't argued with yet . . Lol? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. That's strange, an air traffic controller told me that two days ago
  13. They love it when you can go direct and free up the airways - makes separation a lot easier for them.
  14. You can still file /G as long as you have an enroute approved IFR GPS without current databases as long as you have current paper or electronic charts. You just cannot shoot a GPS approach without a current database. from the Garmin 400/430W manual: Yes, you may file your flight plan as /G if your 400W-series unit is an authorized IFR installation. The 400W series is a TSO C146a Gamma-3 (Class 3) authorized GPS navigator. If you are flying en route, you may file /G with an expired database only after you have verified all route waypoints. Approaches may not be flown with an expired database. See your approved Airplane Flight Manual Supplement for more information.
  15. I've done it with a Stratus.
  16. Foreflight 9.1 and beyond definitely supports it. Go to this post and read through it and it will walk you through it http://forums.avidyne.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1319&title=foreflight-91
  17. My mistake I thought we were talking about this thread: The soon to be approved nav lights alone don't allow you to remove the strobe power supplies - you have to go with the 6502 Whelens to do that.
  18. Power Supplies in the wings and tail can go. Oops . . . corrected below.
  19. Please tell us more about the $5 bulb and how to get it to pulse.
  20. Never heard of it. Only Aspen has it as a software add-on.
  21. Yes I have. Do you have WiFi enabled on your 440? If so you can use local WiFi from the IFD440 to connect directly to the ipad and then transfer flightplans back and forth. If you have a Stratus 2 or 2s you can put the IFD440 in Remote WiFi using the Stratus as a hotspot. I came over from Garmin Pilot to Foreflight recently so I use my bluetooth to connect Foreflight to my Garmin GDL 39 3D for AHRS, weather and traffic (I also have the Skytrax 100 connected to the IFD 550). Then I use the WiFi Local connection as described above. This may help: http://forums.avidyne.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1319&title=foreflight-91
  22. You may be right, it could be a replacement for the G500, maybe touchscreen like the G3X, but their GDU software on the G500/600 is into the 7's now (7.12 is the last I've seen).
