    IFD 440 firmware update

    I had some early-adopter issues with mine, and Avidyne replaced my 540 a couple of times very quickly via forward replacement (they overnight-shipped a new unit, so I could fly to the dealer, they could do the swap (which took minutes), and the dealer could ship my unit back). Since overcoming...

    WTB: ST-901 GPSS

    A couple of years ago there was a guy on Mooneyspace offering to sell one used. No posts after that, so dunno if it's still available. https://mooneyspace.com/topic/27844-add-gpss-roll-steering-converter/page/2/

    Lycoming's answer to valve-seat recession with 94UL

    Rub your finger against your nose. Now rub your nose against your finger. Can you tell the difference? If it's true that the valve recession is related to the fuel...is that a "fuel problem" or is it an "engine problem"? Do you change the fuel to be compatible with the engine, or do you...

    Headrests?

    Merrill's height adjustment post made me think about this... I have a '73 -180 ("Challenger") and the front seats do not (currently) have headrests. The current upholstery does not include a slot for one; it just wraps over the top as if no headrest was ever there. I recently saw crash photos...

    Archer fuel management w/solution

    I just fly until the engine quits, switch tanks, fly until the engine quits, and land. 😁

    Charging Issue

    Do a plot overlayed against engine RPMs and see if there is a correlation. Is it possible you pulled the throttle back during a descent or otherwise had a low RPM condition during the time you saw the voltage drop? I know if my engine RPMs get too low, the alternator isn't able to keep the...

    Wing Walk Repair

    More conscious? Maybe. Fitter? I think there are more gyms and more participation in fitness-enhancing hobbies so that the "fitness-focused" fraction of the population is larger today than it was a couple of generations ago. But I do not think the population as a whole is more fit today than...

    Wing Walk Repair

    Not sure I've seen discussions specific to retracts here, but I'm also not sure the difference is huge. https://www.piperforum.com/threads/wing-walk.26356/ https://www.piperforum.com/threads/wing-walk-doubler-cracks.26528/ https://www.piperforum.com/threads/wing-walk-cracks.14569/

    Avidyne Price Increase

    That's got to with your audio panel's capabilities, not the IFD's. Your IFD is just another audio source, not an audio manager.

    Avidyne Price Increase

    ??? I have been active on the Avidynelive.com forums for many years, and I don't recall any discussions of touchscreen failure. Certainly I would disagree it is a "common complaint". Just to see if I was missing or forgetting something, I did searches there for "touch", "screen"...

    Avidyne Price Increase

    IFDs have been in the field now for 10 years, and this is not something anyone is talking about. Doesn't seem likely to me to be a significant concern.

    Anyone had a JPI CHT Probe Go Bad?

    I asked a similar question on PilotsofAmerica once upon a time and got a chorus of, "Yup, EGT and CHT probes go bad after a while." I've replaced multiple EGT and CHT probes over the years on my Insight G3 monitor.

    What essentials do you carry/keep in your plane?

    These are the "polished" version of that solution (with a price to match). But they come rolled up so they stow in small spaces and are sealed in a plastic wrapper to keep moisture out until you need to use them. The plastic...appliance?...at the opening of the bag is also designed to...
