PMs not being sent

For some reason when I try to send PMs they get “stuck” in my Outbox.

Re: The G1000 project - "The next step"

If the company cannot confirm the chain of possession, they are picking up an unknown liability. Sounds like lawyers got to the engineers. Colin, I consider you to be a friend, but as I have both an engineering degree (EE from MIT) and a law degree, I'm curious about your qualification to make that...

Re: The G1000 project - "The next step"

That's really odd story but it reflects today's situation and bad sides of monopoly position. Being pilot myself for 35+ years I can only confirm that such things didn't happen in the past. Since a meeting will be held in near future between DAI, Garmin and few participants of this forum, this issu...

Re: The G1000 project - "The next step"

Hi Sandy - could you provide a little more background on this (alarming) piece of information? Did Garmin give you a reason why they wouldn't overhaul your GIA63W's? If I could ask, where did these units from from? Was the issue overhauling (did they need a repair?) or recertifying? Finally, as a n...

Garmin refuses to service GIA63W LRUs

I have been on the “lookout” for a pair of GIA63W LRUs for some time. I finally located, and purchased, a pair. I took them to a Garmin dealer and asked that they be sent to Garmin to be overhauled and recertified, as required, for which I was willing to pay, of course. Garmin flat out refused to ta...

Re: Nose landing gear fairing

Are they original? I don’t have metal protectors on mine.

Re: The New Garmin GI 275 Attitude Indicator (AI/ADI)

curts63 wrote An earlier posting said that it couldn't be used with the G1000 panels? Does that mean it couldn't be used to drive the PFD/MFD or that it could not be used as a standalone item that receives inputs from the G1000 LRUs? I'm not at all sure what it means regarding any type of interface...

Re: The New Garmin GI 275 Attitude Indicator (AI/ADI)

The documentation says that it can use a GTX345 (with integrated GPS) as a GPS source. I do not have WAAS-capable GIA63W LRUs, but I do have a GTX345R with WAAS for ADS-B in/out, so I assume that mine fits that requirement. Does that mean that my GTX345R can act as a WAAS-capable GPS source that can...

Re: The New Garmin GI 275 Attitude Indicator (AI/ADI)

Is that intended to be a primary instrument, as it’s shown with flight director chevron? Can it be used with a G1000?
