"Perhaps", as a friend used to be fond of saying, "monkeys will fly out of my butt" :). I've been suggesting about the simplest thing in the world to implement - have the list of "nearest" airports update distance order in real time for ...hmmm... 6 - 7 years now - something that the Garmin 195...

Yeah, this is another thing that would be nice to have (although there would need to be a simple toggle to turn traffic on or off in busy airspace). There have been times on approaches where I wanted traffic situational awareness directly (not over on the other screen, and having the traffic...

This does NOT display the approach plate as an overlay on the moving map, as Foreflight does - it merely displays the geolocated approach plate in the moving map part of the display. Charly is aware of THIS functionality, but he (and others) are looking for more - the ability to see the plate...

Using airport Identifiers (KSEF, in this case) would make it a lot easier for folks at home to follow along. So yes - the approach is aligned. What's your definition of "not aligned"? Heading not 005? Track not 005? What were the winds? Are you using a Flight Director? AutoPilot? If the A/P, how...

The VNAV will become active on the GPS175 on the leg inbound to the FAF. That is normal. Well, some approaches do not line up with the runway. Look at the RNAV-04 at KMHV, for example. If you don't tell us which approach it was that you're discussing, it's going to be pretty hard for anyone to...

You mean like the SkyView Video Input Adapter described on page 15-7 of Revision AT of the Skyview Installation Guide?

Two possibilities - first, the tubing is not tight in the nylon fittings - you can easily check to see if the nuts are tight and that the "olive" is inside, gripping the tube. Second, I do not see any sealant on the 1/8" NPT threads into the ADAHRS. It's possible that it's just not visible...

This. Unless you've got the map at a scale of 5 miles or less, you won't see obstacles. I generally set stuff to 12, 20 or 30 mile scales, depending upon what it is, with some stuff set to 100 miles or more if I want a larger picture.

Yes.

Yes. Search for the word "Pirep" in the Pilot's User Guide.

I sent another email this morning to the same person (Scott Hebert), with no response. Thankfully, it looks to be VFR from CA to Syracuse, NY from Friday to Sunday, so the charts will be less critical, but that's just me. I wrote: "It is now 24 hours since you sent this message. No notification...

I emailed them yesterday. They responded and said that they're running late but that the update would be available later yesterday, which obviously it wasn't. So they either lied or were mistaken, but in any case they're still there and hopefully will have the update later today. You can always...

Just so that I can calibrate, do I actually have to: Bail out of a burning airplane TELL you that I bailed out of a burning airplane Have my propeller come off and glide to a safe landing TELL you that my propeller came off and I glided to a safe landing Something else in order for me not to...

I assume you mean that you've got a System32 EFII from FlyEFII (that's what the pics look like on your web page). Per the FlyEFII System32 6-19 installation manual: Fuel Flow signal out – blue wire. This wire provides a signal that mimics a Floscan 232 or Red Cube type fuel flow sensor. You do...

Have you reviewed the Pilot User Guide regarding the "Level" button? Here's what it says: Level Mode The Autopilot’s Level Mode (or Straight and Level Mode) will immediately attempt to reach zero vertical speed and a roll angle of zero. It will not attempt to fly the aircraft to any previous...
