I've had my aircraft up to 24,000 before. I didn't try to go higher before the RVSM regs took effect, and wish I had just to see, but I think it would have readily gotten up to its service ceiling...

The reason some claim it to be higher is, again in my opinion:

1 - The plane...

My 1967 T337B has factory O2 and is certified to 33K feet. I don't think that a demand diluter system is actually required above 25K feet, but it is highly recommended.

Looking at the intersections page is a nice suggestion, I think. Technically, since IFR GPS boxes are legal to substitute for DME, aren't they accurate enough to go by? I can't imagine the FAA...

Yes I knew they were waypoints, etc. But when you look at them, unless you study the identifiers you don't know which is which and hence you can't relate your stepdowns to what's on the chart. I...

Garmin 396 Mounting Experiences

Thought I'd list my experiences with the Garmin 396 I bought back 6 months ago. It is a great tool and I really like it. I decided to mount mine in the panel using the Airgizmos mount ($99). Here...
