Did you check the contacts in the S-Nav? Maybe they have some corrosion on them, causing the vario to see lower backup battery voltage. Steve Leonard 2 S-Navs, 3 L-Navs.

I have given up on PDA's. For $100.00 you can have 3 1550's and 1 IPAQ plus docking stations: 2 for 1550"s and 1 for the IPAQ. 1 of the 1550's wont charge the other 2 worked fine last time I used them about a year or so ago. The IPAQ locks up if it gets too hot (as in Texas). Dick Mockler

Just a bit of information about Florida weather, as to date we are about 26 inches ahead of normal rainfall for the year. Now this is a big problem when it comes to soaring during the spring. We really need to dry out quick to have some good spring soaring weather. If it dried out tomorrow and...

Just tried to renew the registration on my Ka8 on line, and the page for your credit card payment would not load. I was using Chrome, Windows 10 machine. Changed over and tried using MS Edge, and the page loaded. Successful renewal of registration. Anyone else had an issue with this using...

I have owned a Cambridge Model 20 flight recorder for several years now. I have kept up with all the software upgrades to ensure it has the maximum features and functionality. None of these upgrades fixed some serious flaws in the software design, which I was not told about when I bought the...

The Belgian National Aeroclub have put together an impressive list of recent low-energy final glide and finish accidents, presented to the IGC. This is useful for the endless US discussion on the question, should we go back to low finishes here....

Amateur refinisher looking to take on some work for pay. 15 meter fuselage and stabilizer would be good, or I could do a set of wings. Could possibly do an entire glider, but might not be able to guarantee that completed by summer so it might be best to start with a partial project. Price would...

Hey all - anyone have a definitive answer as to to which mfg.'s used this stuff, and when they quit? It would help narrow the search for an older glass ship.

Cambridge 302. The gps engine has NOT been replaced, so it does not function as a logger. I also have a LXNAV Nano (the original one without the display). Both devices work great except for the 302 logging function. I'll part with 302 for $350 and the Nano for $300 or both for $600 ground shipping...

See letter from General Aviation and Commercial Division, Flight Standards Service dated 24 April 2017: http://indocap.com/FAA/FAA-AFS800_Palmer1.pdf This is the solution for certificated pilots who wish to add a Glider rating but cannot solo because they have no current Flight Review and...

Does anyone have useful comments to make regarding Flarm aerial placement in a Super Cub ? (Specifically Power Flarm, but regular Flarm also valid ) I flew a Super Cub with a Flarm stuck on top of the panel a few weeks ago and to be frank, it was crap. If you have an installation which you...

I've managed to lose track of the US national sport class trophy and could use some assistance locating it. Last known position was at the 2013 sport national contest at Mifflin. The winner was John Seymour, but he did not take it home, and a search of the airport turned up nothing. It should...

Jim McCann was a hell of a great guy and pilot. We spent many happy hours together on the Drive Across America (otherwise known as Return to Kitty Hawk), including a few hours flying together in his Ximango from Las Vegas to Phoenix. Sadly last time we spoke was a few months back, and he was...
