FF support asked me to perform some additional FP transfer tests. One of them was this: Create a route from KAUS to KCHS and then add the RNAV (GPS) Y RWY 21 with the BAMDE IAF. I think they expected it to fail and, indeed, it did. They continue to investigate. I'd like those with Connext in whateve...

I've done some experimenting with using the keyboard in the scratchpad. Given I use an 11" iPad in landscape and my questionable penmanship, this really looks promising for certain stuff, like frequency, altitude, and heading changes.

Make sure you save the old ones for flashlights, etc. They work fine...

That's why they're free , except for the little bit of dielectric grease used. I put 'em all in a plastic bag and use them as needed. They still have years of shelf life.

I had a thought I'll be trying out. Because it's somewhat inconvenient to jump to the scratchpad screen while enroute, just try writing the change right on the chart. For example, near CLARA, I got a clearance Direct JJETT. Just write "D" and an arrow to JJETT. After (or later in) the flight, I can...

My DA40 has had a hotter #1 cylinder (anywhere from 10-30 degrees from the next hottest) for years. I recently put on a new #1 cylinder and the problem, if anything, gotten worse. (The new cylinder has 45 hours on it and the temp is 20-30 degrees hotter than the next hottest cylinder across a range...

Rich, Brian, Steven - Are you still happy with your Surefly ignitions? My right mag has gone bad (after less than 200 hours) so I'm considering adding a Surefly. Like Rich I have the VM1000 so as I understand it I have to switch the RPM sensor from the right to the left mag. Rich, I know you ended ...

Who'd a thunk that cheap little foam dealy would make such a difference
