Yes, that is what I thought...

wtf?

Did you do the IO 360 conversion?

The question I have is if the FD and altitude preselect works on the G3x, like on the Aspen in combination with the stec55x

Really nice! But on the other hand sad....

Same with me. I called CiES and they advised me based on the age of my JPI900 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Nice Mooney and video. Welcome on board!

Hi there! My name is Oscar Avalle. My home base is KGAI, Gaithersburg MD, close to DC. I own an M20C N9341V. Because of my work I spend some times abroad. So I took my Mooney to Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador. I hope to be back in DC soon and join you guys for some flight inns. In the meantime you can watch my flights on my YouTube channel. This is a great side!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yes, I saw his videos. Amazing videos. There is one where he lands on a field that you could hardly define as a road... Although I land often on grass fields, I am still scared of landing my Mooney on fields that are not "perfect". I also think that our Mooneys are not well suited for those bushflying fields. We stand simply too slow. A small ditch, or a hole.... and you get a prop strike. So lets be careful

San Salvador, Central America...

Today I flew for the first time with my kids again. It was great fun... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Really nice job

I fly internationally, so Jepp charts are a must. After three days of back and forth between Garmin and Jeppesen, they were able to make it work. I must have talked to all sales rep at Jeppesen. Some very nice and competent like Amanda and William. It seems that Boeing is downsizing customer services and sales even more. So lets brace for LONG WAIT TIMES. Garmin on the other hand was really amazing! After I told them that Jeppesen said said that it was their fault and I told them that I needed really them to help, they stepped up and solved the issue in a question of two hours. They even called me back! Price, the cost was around US$ 100 for the chart service for a year. So now I am a happier camper and will be able to give you a better PIREP for the unit. Oscar

I tried it does not work.A 795 is not considered a mobile device Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I am a gadget guy and I like Garmin's portable units. So I ordered the new AREA 760 as soon as I heard it had been issued. I was really excited and when I saw the unit I thought: this is it. Better and brighter screen than my ipad and a sturdier build. This is exactly what I needed. The capacity to download via WIFI the updates was also great. So I was a happy camper until... I tried to get the approach plates... from Jeppesen (have used jepp charts for so long...). I went on the www side shop.jeppesen.com and looked for the unit. It was not listed. So I called Jepp customer service. Waited for about 30 minutes and was told Garmin had not send the unit over so they didn't support it. So I called Garmin and they told me that Jeppesen did support the unit. I called Jepp and they told me no. Called Garmin (waited and got a call back) told them that Jepp did not support the 760, so they shared with me a notice on the Jepp www side stating that indeed they did support the unit. Called Jepp was told first yes it is supported and then they backtracked and said NO. So I called Garmin and they told me I could order the plates for the 796 and they should work. I called Jepp and tried to purchase the approach plates for Northamerica for a 796. I was quoted 1300.- just for the plates!!!! I asked them if that was the price? And that I thought that this was simply too much, considering that it was portable unit! They basically said yes that is it. There is no bundle available. Long story short... I have a nice unit, but the plates cost each year about the same as the unit... so instead of a nice unit, I have a nice paper weight until Garmin and Jepp figure out what to do and what their pricing should be. So if you want to use the Garmin unit with your Jepp approach charts... call them and evaluate if it is right for you. I had I known all this I would have not bought it.

hank Just wanted to make sure that you didn't think I was hiding something...

This is the second part... with a landing at the end...

I was told that if I landed I had to stop, pay a landing fee. The process would take around 1 hour, I would need to be disinfected and my plane too... So I decided to fly the missed. But I will post a video later today of the missed.

Nothing special, but finally I was able to do a maintenance flight to check that everything was working well. Oscar Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thank you! Now let’s hope that they agree to send the information over to jepp Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

But how do you activate the function...

I thought that the option would only be available if you connect the unit to your panel mounted GTN?

I just got the Garmin Aerea 760. I like it. It. The size is perfect. It fits perfectly well on the Yoke. The screen is amazing, much better than Garmin Pilot on the ipad. Now having said that, I still think that the Garmin Pilot software is still superior to the 760 software. For example the WB function on the 760 can not be adjusted to show the limits and if the WB is out of range. The one on the ipad can. Also, on the ipad I can download the database update for my GTN 750 and then transfer. I don't know if on the 760 I can... But what really upset me was that I have no option to use Jepp charts on the Aerea 760. I called jepessen and asked them and they said that for the time being Garmin had not given them the green light to use their charts on the unit. I hope it is a question of time... but in the meantime the unit's use is rather limited if you have the GTN system linked to your Jepp account.
