$220k is way out of my range for an upgrade. Even if I got 50K for the engines I have, it would take me a century and a half for something like that to pay for itself. I do love the idea of diesels...

Two suggestions:

1. Sell it and give the proceeds to a good cause if you're not in need of the money. I'm sure any number of us would help broker the sale, or certainly Mr. Crews would. Seems a...

"Move throttle from closed to open slowly, then back to closed. Maybe 5 secs"

Can't say from the pictures but if it's not chipping away or poking through easily then it can probably be treated. Definitely have a trusted IA examine in person and make that determination in any...

The "old list" might be too old to be reliable. I can imagine that Garmin might want to see fresh commitment from us. To get a new one (or even an older one) built up quickly, you might want to...

I'm assuming that for a pre-existing GI275 to qualify, it would have had to be setup as an AI? Mine was not, and I was told it can't be reconfigured as such.

What is a PMA, Really?
