Hello Fellow Aviators:

I updated the panel on my plane from a GNS-430W, GTX-345 and FlightStream 210 to a G3X, GTN750Txi, GTX-345, G5, and FlightStream 210.

With the previous panel I could send flight plans to and from the panel and I received the FiS-B weather on my iPad running ForeFlight.

The installing dealer has not been able to replicate this connectivity despite several attempts. I have received traffic and weather shown on my iPad, but never been able to send flight plans to and from the panel.

Currently, they have removed my FlightStream 210 and are using the G3X Bluetooth function. Now I can send and receive flight plans to and from the panel. However, now I am not receiving any FiS-B data on the iPad (no weather or traffic). The Connext button on the GTN750 is now grayed out (before they removed the FS210 it was not).

What is the correct solution here? I spoke with Garmin at Sun-N-Fun. They said this is a software issue not a hardware problem.

P.S. This post is not intended as a criticism of my installing dealer. They have been very responsive and never “blown me off”.

Anyone who knows avionics, knows about the shortage of avionics technicians. The G.A. avionic shops have a tough time holding onto good technicians.

Hello (or should I say Ceść?),

I know about the Polish custom of not wearing shoes in the home. My question for native Poles is - When visiting someone do you remove your shoes outside the threshold or take a step in and remove them inside the threshold? And what is this thing about not greeting in the doorway?

Also, how diligent are you about the “no shoes in the house” rule? For example, when I am working around the outside of my house I may pop in quickly to get something, and take a couple steps (especially if it’s near the door) without taking my shoes on and off. Is this something that a native pole would typically do?
