My message has been sent Oscar!

Thanks for the quick responses guys.

Has anyone noticed this situation when charging Devices like Ipads, GPS etc through a Cigarette lighter adapter cable? Is there a simple fix? Radio is a Microair 760 Comm. Thanks.

Guys, if anyone has any questions or doubts about the usability of iPads in the Cockpit, have a look at the Sportys Pilot Shop Website which devotes a whole section to mounting options, differences in iPad types, how to set up the iPad pre flight so that you don't forget any important pre settings etc etc. They also explain very clearly how to use accessories like the Dual 150 GPS devices.

Frank, my J170 was idling when hot at a shade over 1000 and I found I was floating too much. I've had the idle set back to about 900 which has made in my opinion, a difference to the float experience. I've also found I need to fully close the throttle a little earlier in the flare!

Bob thats a great set-up. I have exactly the same in my Jab170 except the Ipad Mini is on the RH side and the 296 on the left. I found even the Mini too much "in my face" on the LH side but the 296 is small enough to be out of the way!

My thoughts exactly!

Sportys Pilot shop have a large section online of many mounting options and excellent tips for flying with iPads. Well worth a read!

My Mini is perfect for the Jabiru and 16gb is more than enough for what I need. The RAM Suction cup mount works well and can be mounted according to preference. I found my old Ipad2 far to big for the small cockpit

I've recently seen some videos and read Reviews about the Lightspeed Tango Wireless Headset. They Retail for USD $800. If you google the Headset there are a number of Reviews and some videos.

Correct!

That's correct!

That's correct and also what I was told both verbally and in writing by RAA Ops

But dont you only need it at A SC Airport if you want to access the security section of that Airport? Example, Port Macquarie which has a gate leading to the Flight School section, and another part where you need the ASIC to access the Terminal building from Airside.

I apply FULL Carb heat as power is reduced just before turning base, and close it on final in case of a go around.

Ive never been refused but sometimes you will get extended holding at Long Reef depending on Controller workload and traffic. Make sure your Radio and Transponder are in good order as well.

Just wanted to get users experience on loading and navigating a plan. Recently i loaded a plan departing Bankstown with various waypoints to the north. I loaded Bankstown as the first waypoint (departure point) and activated the plan while taxiing at Bankstown, and after tkof, the GPS did not cycle to give info on the next waypoint, it just kept giving info on Bankstown as the next waypoint. I realise the GOTO function would rectify this, but am asking if the first waypoint AFTER departure should be the first one loaded at the planning stage? Comments appreciated thanks.

me too

plus groundspeed readout

And correct, I dont need WIFI or G meter

The D1 was discontinued by Dynon last April, and they now only produce the D2. With the D2, I now get track guidance, Attitude, back up Altitude, and back up rate of climb/descent indications. For USD $995 I believe its worthwhile.

M My Jab did not come with any attitude indication or groundspeed readout so rather than reconfigure the whole Panel to fit the D100 I decided to get the D2 portable which I can secure anywhere with the supplied suction cup assembly. I also had a look at a few Video reviews of the D2 and overall I am happy with the purchase. I think the G Meter screen is unecessary and will never use that. Seems to be working well now!
