Re: Which A2A GA plane would you most like to own?

Easy answer for me - the Bo. The first hour of instruction I logged (waaay back when) was in a V35B and I've been in love with it ever since.

Re: Reset flight timer on ADF

This is the first time I've heard that flight time doesn't include the time spent on the ground taxiing to/from runways and otherwise acting as a crewmember of an aircraft in motion. I've only heard of using the flight timer as a convenient way to help track fuel consumption, timing for legs, etc. ...

Re: Reset flight timer on ADF

I'm not aware of such a definition for RW time. You log the time from engine start to stop. If you sit on the ground for an hour holding for release, that is an hour in the log. Not sure how things work for the purposes of getting paid at various airlines however. :) His verbiage is a direct quote ...

Re: Reset flight timer on ADF

Mine works fine too. Couldn't find out in your post. Have you changed the display to show elapsed time (ET) instead of flight time (FT)? I think it's the second button from right. One time shows avionics or ADF instrument on time, the other can be reset or works like a timer. Pressing and holding t...

Reset flight timer on ADF

It appears that the reset button for the timer function on the ADF receiver is not functioning. For aircraft equipped with this kind of feature, I like to set it to zero as I'm pulling onto the runway so it truly records flight time, as opposed to avionics-on time, but I'm unable to do so in the Bo....

Re: Lean Of Peak

Seems to be some variability in experiences here. I start seeing/feeling power dropping off in the vicinity of peak EGT. There is definitely no way I would attempt to fly lean of peak as that's definitely not in this engine's "happy" zone. It would be kinda fun to have a working GAMI optio...

Note that you will get a discount from the products you have purchased directly from A2A.
Are you sure about that? I thought one was offered when P3D versions were first released, but I don't see any indication that this discount is still available.

Re: First Bonanza Gauge Failure

I had 2 AI failures within the first 10 hours, though I should note the second came after I had to do a global repair as I'd pretty much destroyed the plane. Not my fault though, really. I had some elevation issues when I landed at KTNP and didn't notice that they included the taxiway being at the b...

Re: Big Shout out to the A2A Team & Autopilot Question

Is there an established procedure for a smooth transition from takeoff and climb into an a/p controlled climb? What I've found is that I want to be sure that I've established a good, stable climb (pitch trimmed nicely and power set for cruise climb) before engaging the AP. As soon as the AP is turn...

Re: Instrument Approach Procedure

I flew a course reversal yesterday for the first time with AP engaged on the RNAV (GPS) Rwy 6 approach at KHQM (arriving from HIGDA) and it tracked it perfectly. However, I had slowed down quite a bit by the time I reached the IAF as I was a bit nervous about how well the AP would fly the reversal. ...

Re: RXP GPS Broken ?

Hey, Scott. I vaguely recall reading something on Avsim from someone having the same issue with another plane. I wish I could recall specifics, but what I remember is that there was something leftover from the previous F1 gauge that was causing the problems. If I stumble across what I read I'll shoo...
