YIPPEE! I'm now a private pilot! I took and passed, the private pilot checkride on Tuesday. What a relief! It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought I'd be, and went very well. Now I need an aviation GPS and 'Guest Headset', and I'm hoping that readers of this list will have recommendations about...

Hi, We have just released a new DVD set which contains 20 of the archived 16mm FAA movies. These are really entertaining and highly instructional. The content is still current even though the movies were made quite a few ago. Also an excellent 10 DVD Airplane Pilot Set for only $29.99 including...

https://www.surecheck.net/avionics/features.html I'm considering it. Used to have the first generation TPAS, and it saved my butt a few times on long X-country trips. I just thought the altitude info would be really a great addition! Does it work as advertised? Less false warnings than the early...

In addition to Garmin's recent delay of the WAAS upgrade to the 430/530 line, they've also required that we sign up for the upgrade by November of this year to get the previously announced $1500 price for the upgrade. This is presented...

I just passed my check ride and earned my private ticket last week. I'm now starting to do some extended cross country work and would like some input as to GPS units. I have researched (3) units and would like some "real-world" opinions as to features, usability and support. Here are the units I'm...

Anyone have flight cheetah? I'm trying to get weather and GPS without having to install boxes permanently (i.e. I don't need IFR approved.) Airgator also seems to be pretty good but the features of flight cheetah seem outstanding. They appear to have both WxWorx and Orbcomm as options...what's...

Hi I have just produced a great selection of the old archived 16 MM films from the FAA which are now available on a 10 DVD set for only $34.99 These really are excellent films to watch that haven't lost their appeal over the years. Visit http://www.pilotpublications.com/16mmDVDset.htm to look at...

I agree. I do not plan on subscribing to the fuel price updates. I can get the (probably) same information from other sources. I hope they do well, and can keep it up to date. - Steve (who is wondering whether we should move to R.A.products if we continue talking about a specific...

Is it possible to do flight planning on my desktop computer and then upload it to my GNS430? I can't find the adaptor that I would need (or do I need to get a card and card-reader to transfer the information)? Also it is possible to use the same method to enter the checklists on the 430, or do I...

I've been surprised to read nothing here about the new delay for WAAS on the 430/530s. Perhaps it's not new to everyone else? It was supposed to be available this summer. It's not. It's now projected for third quarter of 2006. However, one must order before some time this year to lock in the...

For my own personal use I own Jeppesen's FliteStar 9.0 VFR. It works well and pretty much does everything you'd want a flight planner to do. FliteStar has great maps that look very much like the FAA's common sectional charts. Adding a waypoint to a route is as simple as dragging a line onto the...

"Giox" is a scumbag spammer.

I've been asked to do a follow on article on Porting & Polishing for The Aviation Consumer from a user perspective, as it pertains to certified engines. (The article I wrote in Light Planes Maintenance was from a mechanical perspective.) Would like some user feedback, good or bad. If you have a...
