Misc plane stuff

[DonMuncy]

A friend of mine who was at one time a Mooney owner, but is now planeless, has a few things that someone on here may have use for. If any of these are  of interest to you, send me a PM and I will put you in touch. He would probably make you a good deal on them.

1.    A SPOT Gen3 tracker. This continuously reports your GPS position to a satellite network. You can also send an emergency SOS signal, which is sent to the GEOS Rescue Coordination Center. It's much more accurate than most ELTs. It requires an annual subscription.

 

2.    A Dual XGPS150A external GPS receiver. It connects by Bluetooth to an iPod, iPhone, or iPad. I found it useful in the Mooney where the cockpit sometimes blocked the built-in GPS receiver in my iPad. I just put it on the glare shield and never lost the signal.

 

3.    A Flight Gear Quick Charge 3.0 backup battery and charger from Sporty's. You charge it up before a flight, and if the battery on any piece of portable equipment like an iPad gets low, you plug the equipment into this backup battery.
