You may want to check with a computer hardware group, but here are my comments. Hard drives fly the read/write head on the air cushion over the platters. As the air gets thinner at altitude, the head crashes. You may be able to find hardware rated for altitudes up to FL180 or even higher. ...

Quick follow up on my IFR to CLT in a Piston Single. Thanks to the group for the info - it was quite useful. Took the trip starting last Thursday - used CLT ATC's web site to time my arrival during a "slow" period. I did ask my local controller if they had any LOA's with CLT. I'm based in...

Peter, WingX is not hard-coded to any specific screen size. It runs just fine on 320x240, 240x320, 240x240, 640x480, 480x640, and 480x480. In fact, WingX even has the option to automatically change between portrait and landscape - had that for about a year now if I recall correctly. Route...

FYI I've sent the following to NACO and to Jeppesen. I'm not asking the NG for help, I'm just letting the NG know what I asked of NACO and Jepp. Anyone is welcome to comment, of course. Can you please help me reconcile the differences between the NACO and Jeppesen manifestations of this chart?...

I recently purchased an aircraft with a KLN 89B installed with VFR restrictions. Can anyone give me a "guesstimate" on the cost of adding the necessary equipment and labor to have the unit certified for IFR flight? Thanks-- Skip Guimond
