Thanks for that info. Ive now replaced my landing lights with LEDs from Bunnings and no issue with Radio interference with lights on both Wings.

Thats what i have, sits in the plane pilot side pocket.

Press the HOME and OFF buttons together and it will save the image in your photo library

Really? I paid $2.04 at Orange 2 weeks ago for Avgas at the Cardswipe Bowser.

Its 4 months away! Just watch the news and make a decision in the light of facts, not hysteria

My 2200 Gen3 is running fine on Avgas since new in 2014. Leakdowns all good and am getting 14 lph in cruise at around 2850 RPM. Oil and filter change every 25 hours using Shell W100 Plus and little or no oil between oil changes. Maintenance always in accordance with the Jabiru Schedule. Smooth and quiet, no complaints.

There are a few GPS receivers (not antennas) that Bluetooth to your ipad. I use one called a DUALXGPS150 and there is another one called GARMIN GLO, Both work very well and are not expensive. Have a look at website SPORTYS PILOT SHOP.COM and they have detailed descriptions and reviews of these products

Thanks Nev, this was a sudden and erratic dial pointer movement lasting about 30 seconds which has never happened before. First thought that the pointers may have rubbed together. Flight conditions was light chop on descent when it occurred.

checked and clear thanks

Clear

I didnt think there was any such thing as a stupid question! Whilst i appreciate the humour conveyed in the last responses, I thought that someone who had the same issue may be able to shed some light on why this happened. No further posts from me!

This took me by surprise! During the latter stage of a 1 hour flight, the pointer indicating 100s of ft suddenly fluctuated wildly and then settled back on the correct altitude. Correct indication on ground with local QNH set. Any ideas??

Thats exactly my set up. Works great. Ive experimented with kneeboards as well, and dont like the constricted feel of the leg strap and having to look down to see the screen. Only downside with the suction cup mount is that sometimes it falls off into my lap but hasnt happened too much,

All good, CASA corrected the date which confirms your comments, thanks

Thanks Aro, I will be onto CASA in the morning. Will advise result.

Aro the second paragraph of your post is incorrect. I did a GA AFR on 5 Feb, my current AFR expired 31 March but CASA only renewed me till 28 Feb 2020. I phoned them to clarify and they confirmed this.

Thats correct!

A CASA BFR is current till the last day of the month in which it was done. So a CASA BFR (AFR) done today is current to 28 Feb 2022. An RAA BFR expires 2 years from the day it was done.

Thanks OME.

Gentlemen, thank you for your comments and quick responses. Just to clarify, I have 2 standard lights, one on each wing strut on my Jab. These are not real bright, and I only use them for tkof and landing for visibility in poor light and the busy environment I operate in. They are not used for night landings as I operate day vfr only. Seems s simple switch change to illuminate both lights at once. The existing light assembly seems to be a simple “Downlight” arrangement which is exactly what I have seen at Bunnings Aerospace, however I will have a close look and see how I go.

Has anybody done this? I was thinking of replacing the standard issue light globes with LEDs as I’ve been told they use much less power and are brighter. Also wanting to change the switch wiring so that both (I have one on each wing) come on when turned on instead of the standard left or right system. I’ve also been told that LEDs may interfere with Radio. I have Wingtip strobes which don’t cause any Radio interference. Appreciate advice thanks

I have been using AvPlan for years, and cannot speak highly enough of the service I have received. I only use the basic vfr version, and whenever I have needed guidance or had a query, they are available on the phone or call back if they are busy. I use a Mini iPad 5 with a RAM suction mount, which works for me.

I have a J170D Model. Just wondering what unfair criticism you are aware of?

I mean switch off after landing when vacating
