gwengler
I know this has been discussed here before but I'm still not able to
connect my Garmin III Pilot to the Jeppesen FliteStar program I have
on my laptop. The problem of course is the serial-USB adapter which I
have to use since modern laptops do not have old style serial
connections anymore. If...

GNS 430 simple question by
MJC
I have just one question for you Garmin GNS 430 owners:
The 430, of course, can output both GPS and VOR data to a CDI indicator.
However, what I'm wondering, is if you have two CDI's, can the 430 run both
of them at the SAME TIME.. one CDI set to GPS output and the other CDI set
to VOR...

Garmin 430, weak Loc/VOR by
Greg Esres
A student recently installed a Garmin 430. It will not pick up a
nearby VOR on the ground, while his old 170B will. The needle comes
alive just after liftoff, but it does seem to have a lot of course
roughness.
His localizer also exhibits a lot of course roughness when far out on
the localizer,...

MX 20 -another faulty display by
[email protected]
2 years ago we were forced to replace (for $600) our MX20 display
because it had vertical lines. At the time, we were led to believe
these were "growing pains" and that what is now Garmin AT had
re-designed the MX20 box so display failures would be less common. The
new displays even came with an 18...

On the most recent Pilots Audio Update, the narrator was talking about a
time when fog covered half the airport, but he could see the runway he was
going to land on, but because the control tower was on the foggy half of
the airport, they wouldn't approve a visual approach. He was being

GPS PRN NOTAM by
Ali Ghorashi
Hello All,
What does the following NOTAM mean:
GPS 02/001 GPS PRN 26 OTS WEF 0502082100-0502090900
I know it says "GPS Pseudo Random Noise 26 Out of Service" but what are its
implications? Does it mean that RAIM is not available during the outage?
Thanks,
