I'm moving to the Central California Coast in January, and that means a new home base for N100DD. I'm interested in any advice on which airport to pick. KSBP,...
Given my limited experience... When Brad Hensley (now moved to Colorado) had his shop at KSMX I observed that KSMX went IFR earlier than KSBP. There's more...
Hey Case, I live in Oceano. What city are you moving to? What's bringing you up this way. I feel it is a real tossup between the two airports. I feel San...
Kerry, Like I said, my exposure to these airports is limited. I'm surprised you recommend SMX from a weather perspective. It seemed to me that the fog rolled...
Kerry -- I think I had breakfast with you and Gordon and a few others in the rail car in 2005. I'd flown up to Oceano to meet Gordon & his son and take some...
Actually, based on a flight from SLO this weekend (house-hunting), Santa Barbara approach covers that area now. I'll email Brad. Thanks! -- Case ... ...
Yes we did have breakfast at the Rock-N-Roll Diner. As for a rough place to live if we let the secret out way too many will want to come and settle here. I...
San Luis Obispo is closer to the coast line than is Santa Maria, but SMX does not get as warm as SLO and my theory is the heat burns the fog off. On the other...
Hi Bill, You are right the approach to SMX is much wider than SBP. No matter in which direction you make your approach SBP has some interesting obstacles on ...
You can get one from the Bonanza guys. I had one for my 550-B but lost it. There was some reason I quit using it though. It didn't seem to work in the Navion...

Dick, Garmin makes a data cable that can hotwire not only power but also serial data, alarms and audio. I added one when I redid my panel and its working well....
Hi Erich I am told there is a cable I can hook to my 496 and can interface to my S-Tec auto-pilot so the auto-pilot will track my GPS. Can you help with the...
Greg, That's the same cable I spoke of, the "alarms" are for fish/depth finder function for marine use, and the audio is for "turn by turn" for auto use. For...
Gerry, What model S-TEC autopilot do you have? I'm 95% sure the answer is going to be no, but there may be a way.... Garmin has intentionally not included a...
Thanks Erich S-Tec 50. I thought I had read somewhere that the 496 gad the ability to channel l/r with a cable, Thanks again Gerry ... From: erich rempert...
Erich, Since we seem to be talking about noise. :) I have a high pitched alternator whine over the intercom in the new panel. I have replaced the filter cap...
Unless your alternator is really toasted (like most of the diodes bad) I'd look for grounding problems. Missing grounds or ground loops. When the new panel was...
