I've had my Garmin GPSMAP 195 for about 10 years now. I think it's time to get something newer - I've been looking at the 196, 296 and 396 and trying to decide which one to get. I find the 195's screen very easy to read - I have no objections to it at all. So I figure the 196's screen should be...

I'd be interested in "go/no-go" opinions of others, based solely on the following information ...

What handheld units have lots of preset positions available on them? I would like to find one where the presets have dedicated buttons that I can then label. At least six presets would be desirable. I'm trying to avoid having to program function keys to bring up presets with complex...

Well, we're off to Lost Wages in an hour or two, flying with Jim & Tami Burns in their lovely Aztec for a week of R&R. (See their beautiful bird he http://alexisparkinn.com/rogue's_gallery_a-h.htm#B ) Dang weather looks like crap out West, so we might only make Albuquerque tonight. We'll be...

Why are they here? I guess trying to disrupt them by all of us posting a blank reply 5 times a day would only encourage them? Dallas

I am not deaf, but was wondering if the deaf can fly under the new sports pilot rule. I know the sports pilot rule says that if you have a "medical" condition that you know can affect your ability to fly, then you are barred from flight. Now, does being deaf count as "medical" or is that only...

Yes, its true. "Most pilots don't realize that low ceilings and restricted visibilities are aviation's most deadly killers." No word from AOPA on what less "deadly killers" are.... ;-) But the weather wise course was fun to take. I liked the audio of the pilot with the Texas drawl who had to...

So winter is over, but for those rainy or windy days or low overcast or airplane down days or . . . I'd like to order some books to read along the lines of Cannibal Queen (Coonts), Flight of Passage (Rinker Buck), Flight of the Gin Fizz (Kisor), or Zero 3 Bravo (Gosnell). All are cross country in a...

I would suggest that merely paying tens of thousands of dollars to a lobbyist and/or politician will not buy much influence. To have references to Pakistan exculpated from the 9/11 Report would have cost at least $5-6 million. Therefore the report cannot possibly be true "Real News"...

I just received an email from my FBO, who received word from ATC at our class C airport, that the FAA is phasing out the "position and hold" instruction "to try to curb the runway incursions and controller errors." At my home base, which is a class C airport in Syracuse, NY, the elimination of...
