Jimmy R asked:


My dad just got his pilot liscense and wants to get a GPS with weather updates for his plane. I have been going through alot of different systems and am having a hard time finding one specifically geared for aviation with weather updates, I would like to go below $1,000, but if I can’t get a good one for that I would be willing to go higher. Also, what are service options for weather updates? I know of XM are there any others?

AlexanderE asked:


Just a thought !
Remember that a sat-nav is a reciever not a transmitter, and would not interfere with signals being transmitted from the aircraft.

How do u use the GPS on the Airbus A321 and Boeing 737 on Flight Simulator X? thanks!

David M asked:


It is my second time replacing the data card in my GPS and i just want to make sure that the FAA will not screw me over something like this. Is there a log entry required?

wiseguy asked:


I need it for aviation, but haven’t been able to find a place where I can buy it online.

stingjam asked:


For example, can you legally fly a direct gps route from Guadeloupe to Opa Locka, FL? Or would you have to stick to airways?

What are all the current reasons why our General Aviation system still uses airways?
I’ve actually flown as co-pilot into Opa Locka International from Jamaica before, but it was an IFR flight. There were customs and immigrations officers there.
