Garmin G5

The heading indicator on my G5 is about 15 degrees off. How to I correct/adjust the unit to indicate the accurate heading?

Re: Alternative for a floating dock

Alternative for a floating dock

Morning folks We do have a camp North of Yellowknife that can only be accessed by plane. I end up either rebuilding or fixing the fix dock every 3-4 years due to ice damage during break-up. Happened again this year. A floating dock that can be removed in the fall may be an option but would require a...

Leaky fuel tank? Cessna 180H

Hello again

Looks like one of the fuel tank leaks when full. My engineer will look at it again but wondering what you guys think maybe? Can the leak be caused by an old and leaky gasket at the top only? Or does the entire fuel tank need to be replaced usually?

Thanks

flight manifest

Are commercial outfits required to have a passengers manifest while operating? Would you have the exact CARS regulations showing this?

Continental 0-470K

Wondering about a normal oil consumption for a continental o-470K 400 SMOH on a Cessna 180H? 1 quart every 15 hours good?

Our oil used seems to be getting better every year! Is this a good thing? Expected?

Thanks

Electric DG or Garmin G5 instead ?

Would any of you know where to get an electric DG for our Cessna 180 that would not cost as much as the G5? I have already installed a G5 to replace the vacuum HSI (AH).
