Re: Best iPad Mini Mount for DA 20?

Geoff: Do you see any dichroic effects through the canopy when wearing polarized sunglasses? I (as a former Navy Flight Surgeon and retired ophthalmologist) always recommended against polarized sunglasses in my aviators for this reason. Steve Sorry for the late response, Steve. I enjoy crystal-clea...

Re: Best iPad Mini Mount for DA 20?

I should also add that I recently upgraded to the iPad Mini 6. Really great for running Foreflight and gives about 3/4" of more vertical screen height, plus it's a fast little machine. The startup speed of Foreflight on it is 2 seconds compared to about 30 seconds for my old unit. The Mini 6 in...

Re: Best iPad Mini Mount for DA 20?

I use an X-Naut fan assisted cooling tray with a RAM suction mount to the canopy just ahead of the door release handle.

A&P/IA Recommendation Seattle/North

Hi All - long time listener, second time poster apparently. I've been immensely enjoying my DA20/K100 (ROTAX) for the last nine years. Looking to get my next annual done, and wondering if anyone has any positive recommendations for an A&P/IA in the Seattle (and preferably north) area? It seems l...

Re: Slip stall

I have slipped in with full flaps on final, and it seems to be effective at dropping altitude more quickly than just full flaps. I practiced the maneuver at altitude, and I am always aware of the airspeed so as to stay well within the white arc. Mainly I have practiced this for yet another tool in t...
