Re: GA Lemo or Airbus Plug

LEMO headset plug supports stereo, mic, power. XLR is mono, mic, power. Adapters are available between all. I'd say LEMO along with dual GA and XLR adapters as required.... Though, depends on airplanes you'll be flying - if no prospect of stereo music from the airplane, then I guess it doesn't matt...

Re: Ipad Mini 8.3in or Ipad Air/Pro 11in

Don't have a picture on this phone, but it will fit in between horns of the Navajo yoke, with just enough for one hand to fly with My company used a 796 on the Yoke, that is why i said it Yoke mount isn't an option unfortunately.

If Yoke Mount isn't an option, would you still recommend the MIni over the Air?

Re: Hold Clearance

A bit misleading in the underlined statement - hold clearances won't reference the current location of the aircraft, just where they expect the aircraft to be holding once established (ie which direction from the fix). Correct, the only reason the position would be to the north is because the the t...

Is low MP with High RPM damaging to the engine? Let's say i am doing a power on decent from 12K feet. I keep my MP at 20in and RPM at 2450. This decend slowly cools the engine. No risk if shock cooling. As the CHT lowers to around 280 degrees, can i reduce MP to idle (10MP or less) with 2500RPM and ...
