JPI EDM700 v EI UBG16 - comments? by
Stan Prevost
Hi, Peter -
I used an EI 16-channel non-graphic monitor for five years (don't remember
the model number, but they still sell it) and found it and the probes to be
reliable. There was some occasional problem with the inline connectors, but
they were old when I started using them. That airplane...

Playing with the Garmin GNS430/530 WAAS simulator by
Peter R.
As an owner of a Garmin GNS430 who will most likely upgrade to the WAAS
capability, I downloaded and installed the Garmin GNSxxx WAAS simulator
last night, then "flew" a couple of RNAV/GPS approaches with LPV minimums.

Dreaming STARS by
[email protected]
Was I dreaming? Or did I once hear that RNP 1 and 2 stars/sids had
been published in the USA? I see type A and B, but these are RNAV,
and so must have no RNP requirement whatsoever, and can be flown by
any /G aircraft. Anyone provide some info?

More Garmin Gripes by
Viperdoc
I just installed a GDL69A data link with my 530, which works great. It gives
Nexrad radar as well as graphical METARs, and superimposes the information
on the basic map pages.
It is also supposed to provide text metars, but this will not be available
until "sometime in the future"
Worst, I have...

Chris G.
Worldwide, the 121.5/243.0 MHz ELT signals will no longer be detected by

Yes, I would think that responding, even to a false alarm, would be a

Sometimes when I phone the FSS for a wx briefing, I get a long-winded

Fast forward to the futu WAAS 200 minimums by
scott moore
Now that the WAAS minimums are going to be 200, same as
ILS, and the first WAAS approaches are going to be
overlaid over standard ILS approaches, the question
arises:
Which approach makes more sense to an ILS runway, use
of the ILS, or the WAAS?
Before you say "good ole ILS", consider: WAAS is...

430W/When does the glideslope register by
scott moore
Keep in mind I tried out my new 430W install for
the first time today.
I tried a few sample approaches, really outstanding.
The 430W makes you want to try full (not vectored)
approaches because it essentially automates everything.
It will hold on the approach hold, start the approach
on its own...

Any advice...

GNS 430 simple question by
MJC
I have just one question for you Garmin GNS 430 owners:
The 430, of course, can output both GPS and VOR data to a CDI indicator.
However, what I'm wondering, is if you have two CDI's, can the 430 run both
of them at the SAME TIME.. one CDI set to GPS output and the other CDI set
to VOR...
