I have a GNS 430 and a GNC 250 XL in my aircraft. When I switch on both GPS, the GNC 430 will not, in the satelllite status page, show the solid signal strength bars even though the hollow bars are all showing good strength and the 250 XL works just fine. Does this have anything to do with the...

Using a Garmin G530W, how is vertical guidance provided on LNAV/VNAV and LNAV+V approaches? Is it the same as LPV approaches, i.e, the GPS drives the HSI/LOC glideslope? Or are there other means? I can't find it documented anywhere...

I have seen the high end GPS units present a psuedo panel display (I am specifically refering to the Garmin 296). It provides a DG/HSI presentation, GPS derived altitude, turn-and-bank and vertical speed. Has anyone experimented with this to maintain level flight in lieu of actual gyroscopic...

Hi Guys, Does anyone know a way that you can generate a GPX file, put it on the data card and then insert it into the GPS? If not the KLN94, are there any units out there like this? Cheers -Al

You're 4 miles SW of ROYCE. http://www.naco.faa.gov/d-tpp/0710/00198IL12R.PDF Approach says "Cessna '1GS,cross ROYCE at or above 2 thousand, cleared visual approach runwy 12R. Contact the tower on 118.7." On initial contact, Tower says "Cessna '1GS, runwy 12R, cleared to land." Do you still...

Hi Folks, Hope someone here can help. We have a helicopter that we want to be able to fly very accurately search patterns, like creeping line, expanding box etc. I cant find a GPS on the market that supports this natively, though in theory it wouldnt be hard to generate a GPX file with the...

I'm confused about what determines the local altimeter setting. My understanding is that there is a barometer in the tower that measures the weight of a column air extending up into the atmosphere. What factors affect its weight? Is it purely temperature variations caused by uneven heating by the...
