Modern Avionics In Bush Planes - Overkill???

In spirit of Garmin's Virtual Airventure Oshkosh 2020 I decided it would be fun to take you guys along for a little off-field fun and while doing so have a little chat about how I utilize my Garmin G3X system in the back country environment.

I guess that there are two ways of looking at this subject:- One is that anything that helps a Pilot is worth having. The other is that over reliance on these all singing all dancing panels can lead you into big trouble. Imagine getting struck by lightning and having your gizmos fried. Not good not good at all .The age old skills of using your chart, compass and stopwatch will always be something worth keeping up to date. Stay safe up there. Regards, Jim in NI UK

[@jimshaw899]

The 737 Max issues brought out an interesting trend in airline piloting: too many recently trained indigenous Middle Eastern pilots don't really have much experience in how to fly an airplane. A bunch were suspected of cheating on the exams. Like in the two 737 accidents, they were paging through the aircraft manuals when they should have simply turned the trim system off. With the aircraft's nose facing the ground, it's a bad time to get out the books. Flying an airplane is fundamentally different from playing a video game or selecting a tune on Spotify.

[@jimcripps3612]

@@jimshaw899 Yep and they even fiddle their English speaking tests. I have heard some Middle Eastern and Asian pilots whose English was atrocious.

Love the Vid... I am a Mechanical Engineer, and that technical environment tempers a lot of things I do and use "as a safety margin" for things I do. And flying is one of them. Garmins' Glass from your install to the TBM setup is a safe environment. Your comments about your transition from simple steam gages to the Garmin setup you have does describe using a simple safety setup when you need them. You still fly as you did and should with your eyes outside the cockpit. But you have the safe level flight on AP when needed. Go for it!!

Those cheap chargers for iPad and devices use a high speed oscillator and a tiny transformer to step down the voltage. They can put out so much noise they can cause RF interference. I've had them blank out the tire pressure sensors in a truck.

[@jimjam623]

Fully agree. Much of the headset-audible electrical noise issues in a homebuilt I fly were significantly reduced by replacing the cheap USB charger for a Anker brand one - and that was on the recommendation of this site: pilotaware.com/faqs/ That site also go as far as recommending the products made by charge4.harkwood.co.uk/ for certified aircraft. Another option possibly worth investigating are the built in automotive-grade USB chargers of Molex: www.molex.com/molex/products/family/invehicle_usb_charger

[@daytonasixty-eight1354]

@@jimjam623 You can reduce or remove the RF interference by putting a ferrite bead, also known as a ferrite choke, on the cable. These are just little magnets and are commonly used in many applications for reducing RF interference.

[@jimjam623]

Daytona Sixty-Eight Actually, this plane’s wiring had been ‘choked to death’ (probably a pound or more) with those damn things over the years of various upgrades - and sadly it turns out they were doing nothing useful before we completely rewired it. The biggest source of audible electrical interference still appears to be coming from the SCREEN of the now ancient MGL Voyager EFIS - at least according to the handheld airband tranceiver being used to hunt directly transmitted noise - but probably not helped by the shorter than optimal antenna length (baked in to the design of the early Jabiru SP470’s. I agree though, ferrite beads ARE worth a try: dealing with electrical interference in aircraft is all science + half black art. :)

[@daytonasixty-eight1354]

@@jimjam623 Typically those panel USB or car outlet USB chargers are powered via the master switch and not avionics switch. That should help you isolate RF. Master ON, Avionics OFF.... iPad charging? RF interference? No? Then avionics is likely the issue like you said. While your case sucks, most people who have problems with USB use a cheap charging cable and a choke likely would help them.

Trent, I thought the 'cumulo-granite' looked familiar, and then I knew when you said you were heading back to Stead. I live on the north end of Sparks. Your landing on the hillside reminded me of the early-mid 70's when I flew for Sierra West out of Oxnard, CA. We had exclusive landing rights on Santa Cruz Island - then privately owned. The Ranch Strip on the island separated the men from the boys! It was 2000 feet long but only the last thousand feet was usable. One way strip; it was a ten percent uphill grade, and four feet wider than the mains on a Beech Super G-18. Done right, you had to add power to get to the end of the strip. Oh, those were the days......... Carl

Great video of the Garmin G3x. My daily job is an Avionics shop supervisor in San Diego, and I am privileged to flying a Aeroprakt A32 with a G3x. My Avid Model C when I bought it had no avionics, and this year she’s getting an upgrade to GRT Mini X AP because it will fit or it would have been a G3x portrait. Whether it’s a G3x, GRT, or Dynon, the new ADHR’s displays with GPS navigator really reduce pilot saturation.

I’ve been flying the Garmin G3X suite in my S7 for 3 years come October and have only praise for the reliability and ease of use. The autopilot was wonderful flying from Homedale ID to Titusville FL. Whether flying thru traffic dense Class B airspace Houston and Orlando or the open airspace out west, the G3X avionics lets me keep my eyes outside and on a swivel.

Rule of thumb is, if there's no slat on the leading edge of the wing, flaps will push the nose down. Most noticeable of all is probably IL-76. It is a huge military transport from Russia that doesn't have leading edge lift device. And you will see it actually have a negative angle of attack when on final.

Good morning Kent. Yesterday I committed to purchasing your model airplane with your friends over at Flite Test, and I’m just now subscribing to your channel. I’ve enjoyed so many of yours and Mike Patey’s videos and I finally took the plunge. One of their agents, Corey, was very helpful going through what I needed to get it all together. I included a couple of extra batteries and propellors, in case of some “nose-overs,” which I thought should be expected since I’ve never done any RC before. I mentioned “taxiing around my retirement community’s hallways, without the wings on, to get used to the RC controls, mostly due to the fact that I’m an old “stick and rudder” pilot. I mentioned that I thought it would be very appropriate to get a picture of your instrument panel; then scale it down to the proper side and put it in the cockpit. So, as a “newbie,” would you please e mail a picture of your panel so I could get this done? I even mentioned that it might be a neat “little extra to add to the kit.” Now I’ve got about 3 more weeks to wait and get started! I was looking at the real potential to go to Orem, Utah this month on a business trip which didn’t come to fruition. So now I’ve got a “Heavier Out” kit to use some way down here in Houston! Looking forward to a whole new adventure at the ripe old age of 87!

I’m sold ..... all I need to do now is pass my ppl and buy a plane 😬🤣

[@tb1951]

Haha is this your response to Scrappy's avionics system?

[@TrentonPalmer]

I don’t have anything on Scrappy!

[@skyhawk637]

Everything about Scrappy is overkill, which is why we love it!

[@alexnelson9505]

Only 2 screens! The new normal is at least 5, with custom software. :)

[@yacahumax1431]

The only thing Scrappy has in common to any other plane on this planet is that is made of atoms. Thats all.

[@maxnex7676]

I think Mike Patey has settled all the discussions with Scrappy. It is not just the destination but also the journey.

Very informative! Keep these kind of vids coming! You're inspiring me, and many others, to get into aviation 💪🏽

[@davidendsley2391]

The year I was going too be able to go to Oshkosh and now we can't was really looking forward to seeing you and the rest there. Looking forward to next year. Thanks again for a very informative video.

I literally had the choice between clicking on Mike Pateys scrappy Garmin panel Build Video, or this one on my KZbin recommended list 🤣

[@RKHarm24]

Very enjoyable. Always been a Garmin follower. Enjoyed the flying demo instead of a bench talk.

[@Mariano.Bernacki]

Wohoo! A video I can't watch! Makes me SO happy to be a subscriber!

[@frederikkruger]

Great video - very informative- tx Trent !

[@markcarter5257]

Trent is who he is. Mike is who he is. They both are very informative. They are alike. They are very different. STOP WITH THE COMPARISONS!!!

[@bigboatben]

Great video! Great info! You crushed it!

[@57eleven1]

Great information, thx. A lot of this information helps in selecting my next aircraft. Certified or Experimental. I’ve lots to learn and this was a great help.

[@jcbaily5559]

What a joy....thanks so much!

[@johnnukecop]

Amen, brother. It was sad to lose Sun N' Fun and Oshkosh. Looking to next year.

[@PlasticAssasin8]

Avionics in your plane? Mike Patey, hold my beer.

[@dspellman2002]

Well done video, Trent. Clean, clear and concise. Now about the haircut you've given some of those chickens...
