PIREP on this headlamp absolutely love it. It has built in prevention for preserving your night vision. It has only one button. Push it and you get a dim red light good for most nighttime cockpit needs. Push it again and it turns off. You have to double press the button to get high intensity red, an...

I tried to press the A/P disconnect button yesterday during an instructional flight and it wouldn't disconnect the autopilot. Not a big deal at that moment since there are several other ways to shut down the autopilot. I fiddled with it for a few minutes and got it working again. After reading this ...

In 2018 I paid $425 + a $45 travel Expense for the biannual IFR Cert for our 2004. It is lined up with the annual.

After talking to Garmin, it would appear that the "upgrade" path for the non-WAAS G1000 owners does not exist at this time. While GIA63W owners can buy new screens for a mere $28k (whenever Garmin provides the software), us GIA63 owners are pretty much hosed. The Gamrin rep said that there is no pa...

The Honeywell B/K manual tells you to press APR to intercept the localizer. This usually works but my KAP 140 seems lazy to me. Sometimes it will overshoot or wander and I use CWS to nudge it back on course. Other times my APR indication will start flashing on the display, no idea why. If I push APR...

Thanks Paul - I will check out the videos.

The G1000 adds an extra waypoint on some approaches 2 miles before the IF. (D10.9 in the example photo) Does anyone know the reason for this? My only guess is that it's a 2 mile warning before grabbing the localizer. It seems to show for some approaches but not others. S/W version 321.23 WAAS KAP 14...

Thanks for reply but I was specifically interested in Colin’s reply because I understood he did it on DA42. But now when I rethink it comes to my mind that he has GFC700 in his DA42.

Whoops, sorry - I just realized my mistake.

I did it years and years ago. Maybe you answered this question before but I don’t remember I saw it: What’s G1000 software version do you have - is it the same that all legacy owners have or you got some upgrade when installing WAAS upgrade? Ours is a 2004 upgraded to WAAS. Not sure what rev you ar...

I think there is a math problem in the article.
144 units to 150; is not even close to double.
