Re: G1000 Direct-To Weirdness
For vertical guidance, only once I have been cleared for the approach, I use APR to arm the system to intercept the vertical guidance which may be GPS or ILS. And of course it will only intercept from the below the GP/GS. Regarding "will only intercept from the below"... not completely tr...

Re: Comm Gremlins
So it doesn't matter what frequency you are tuned to at all? Also, does "don't get reception" mean that you can't hear anybody else transmitting on frequency (when tuned to a known-busy frequency) while the Rx it lit up? Once the static clears up, the radio behaves normally after that? Ca...

Re: Comm Gremlins
FWIW I find all sorts of stuff (including COMMs) really suck in the hangar. Whenever I want to test something regarding any external RF I pull the plane out in front of the hangar. (I have the luxury of being at the end of the row and don’t block anyone needing to taxi. I could sit there all day.) ...

Comm Gremlins
First flight after annual... Main battery was R&R'd for desulfation. HIRF box not opened. Massive static on the radio. I'll skip the story, here's what my diagnosis in the hangar has determined: 1) Limited to COM2. NAV2 seems OK (or at least successfully tuned the ILS at my airport). 2) Acts lik...

Re: Tango airways?
Back to the OPs question. If he entered ODDEL and then Load Airway, he should have been presented with T336 since ODDEL is an intersection on T336. So what happened?

Re: G1000 Direct-To Weirdness
Since you're clearly an instrument rated pilot flying with a CFII, this may be somewhat redundant. I think the G1000 responds differently to an arbitrary waypoint, than to a waypoint which is part of a procedure. Your description is an excellent example of the importance of situational awareness and...

Re: Tango airways?
There are a couple of references to T Routes in the NXi Pilot's Guide so it seems like they might be there. Perhaps there is a different entry method. I'll try this next time I'm in hangar on the GPU. They can definitely be loaded in Foreflight. If that doesn't transfer to the panel, the next step i...

Re: GFC700 Disconnect
I haven't had it disconnect with no warning. However, I do know that if you you hit the disconnect button on the stick, and then hit it again, it will mute the disconnect warning.
