I checked the book and "Nautical" is the default
setting.... I don't know why the Tech guys at Lowrance didn't bring this
up... In fact they agreed the first one that was sent back was "Bad" and
that the Malfuntion was intermittent....Oops
Mike,
Glad you found the problem. Maybe the tech guys couldn't find a problem
and determined it was an intermittent. I get those kind of problems in my
work on electronics sometimes. They will give the customer the benefit of
the doubt to keep happy and loyal customers. Kirk

I have an Airmap 100 that I've been using for about two years and the GS seems
accurate to me. However, the display is a bit dimmer than an identical Airmap
100 that a friend owns. I did not realize it was dimmer than others until after
the warranty expired and the factory would not exchange it.

Mike,
I think I know what your speed problem is being caused by.
Your Airmap comes with the default set to knots per hour, if you go into the
setup menue and change it to MPH it will probably correct your error.

I just checked out the new one they sent me and it's 10mph SLOWER
TOO....I've

I have a Lowrance Eagle , and the GS is just fine on it.

Hey I asked a few questions at Oshkosh last week on SP/LSA rules.
For the current private pilot:
We don't need to do anything, not even a note in our log book. We are
licensed to fly all makes and models and we can get our biannual check ride
in anything we are licensed for.
If we choose to fly only the Sport Planes, which don't need to have a
medical to be flown,
we no longer need to get the 3rd class medical.
Current Ultralight pilots that fly the 2 place ultralight airplanes:
You will need to get the Sport Pilot license. Get the Sport Pilot CFI if you
are going to do the training. Get your airplane registered as a Light
Sport Plane or as a 51% experimental. The rules for the SP CFI will not be
ready till next year so it is suggested that you not register the plane till
after that point or you will not be able to train in it. My impression is
that FAA is going to be very accommodating over the next few years to get
illegal flyers and planes licensed. Afterwards I can only assume they will
throw the book at anyone they catch.
The repositionable landing gear for float planes:
The guy I asked had a real problem defining this as apposed to retractable.
The explanation I got was that they don't want the gear moved up and down
very often. The gear can be retracted and lowered in the air. They just
don't want it to become so
routine that one might forget to lower or retract as needed.

Richard and all, My guess is that you wouldn't trigger a red flag
operating a registered
MkIII with TNKs new floats flying as a sport pilot. They look like a
really attractive option
but I regret that my bird may be a little too puny to cope with them.
-One more obstacle overcome today, got my BFR with a very nice young
lad.
I'd forgotten what a huge and heavy plane the Cessna 152 is :)
And FAST too! I didn't tell him the last time I flew one was 30 years
ago.
40 degrees of flaps and it landed like a Kolb........floated more
though.

Giovanni,
The Rotax 912 installation manual issued 12-22-1994 indicates that the oil
level in the tank has to be between
0 and -400 mm (up to 15.75 " below) measured from the propeller shaft C/L.
Next time I am at the plane I will measure mine and let you know how much it
is.

Richard,
I fly a MKIII with a retractable gear and I think that they dont want SP
rated pilots to
take off from land and "land" on water during a single flight operation and
vise versa.
This falls into the same catagory of complex flight operations such as
inflight variable pitch propellers.
If an SP takes-off from water he is to land back on water also.
To specify that an SP is only legal to retract and lower landing gear while
in the air is meaningless
no matter how often (or not too often!) he does this.
I think this guy did not explain this very well to you.
Any thoughts on this?

landing gear where and as often as I want!)

Frank, I think that you might be right, but, The ruling may allow for up to
one cycle per flight. In other words you could take off on water and land on
land, but you could not take off on land, retract, deploy, and land on land.
(Geez, I sound like the FAA).
But seriously, It looks like the ruling is to prevent increased peformance
due to retracting gear. I will be watching this one closely, But as of now I
have not gotten a good definition of the terms.
My feeling is that if you go to the effort to get a sport pilot ticket and
then get a seaplane endorsment you are pretty far along to a full pilot anyway.
By the way, I still am not sure if you need a seaplane rating on an
experimental if you build it yourself. Does anyone know the answer to that one?
