| Subject: | Re: Altimeter error |
Thanks to all who offered advice regarding my faulty altimeter. I took it to a
professional and he found that the subscale mechanism was loose. He was able to
reset the subscale and reassemble the altimeter and it then checked out fine
up to 40000ft. We will see how long it holds up - if it fails again then it gets
consigned to the bin

Bob, I assume you are sending your unit in and would you pls post re how
much better the unit is when you get it back? As for mine, if I turn it
so sun shibnes direcly on it, it is more easily seen, seems when adj to
easily read angle, reflections from inside make it dificult to read.
BTW, wonder if anyone has tried the magnifyer that is advertized for
these units?? Charlie Heathco

Folks -
Thanks for all the suggestions, and my apologies for not responding
sooner. I have jumped thru all the necessary hoops to get a HAF number,
so I can land at any AF installation. But that's not always the best
answer. Most don't have AvGas (Hanscom does, because they have an
AeroClub), and it's still a fair amount of hassle to land and even more
aggravation to launch from an Air Force Base, even with the clearance.
I was hoping for a quiet little field with a few RVers to meet.
But the Fates conspired against us and we wound up on the commercial
cattle car. Probably a good thing, as we'd still be stuck looking for a
hole in the storms that have soaked the PanHandle for the last few days.
We'll try again in a few weeks :-)
Neal
=============
Hi Neal. I assume that if your business is at Hanscom, you can just land
at Hanscom, can't you? It's not exclusively an AFB; it's a regional
airport, too. (I think Goulian flies out of there, doesn't he?) Besides,
you're in the military so I doubt it'd be an issue anyway.
I assume that some RV builder there would be more than happy to have you
stay at their house.
Anyone?

Members,
This message is to advise all of you who are using the Garmin Color 296
GPS and having trouble reading the screen because it is not light enough to
compete with the sun. I have one of these units and trying to read it in
bright sun light under a bubble or tear drop canopy is almost impossible. I
just got off the phone with Garmin Electronics and there is a modification
available for the 296 for a fee of $50.00. They will modify the unit to
match the newer GPS units in light intensity so that they are more easily
read. For those of you who are interested, here is the address to send your
unit to for this modification.

Looking for the requirements to land at a military installation.
They may be less stringent now that Hanscom is also a civilian field too....
I'm more interested in the military side as I would like to go to places like Cherry
Point, NC and Quantico, VA....
Thanks

Hey Ralph -
The requirements are remarkably simple - DD Forms 2400, 2401 & 2402 sent
to that funny-shaped building in DC.
DD 2400 must travel directly from your insurer to HQ AF. The other two
you fill out and send. Use blue ink.
Retired status helps justify the request, but won't guarantee
acceptance.
Partnerships and non-owners are considerably more difficult. When I
asked for my first HAF number, I enjoyed the use of an airplane that I
didn't own - I carried a non-owner's insurance policy in addition to be
listed as a named-pilot on the owner's policy. It complicated the
insurance forms, but the folks at HQ AF were patient and helpful. More
recently, I've partnered on an airplane, and had other (but similar)
difficulties. These are the hoops that have given me headaches.
Feel free to call if you want to talk it over - 850-218-4838

I for one was puzzled by the original post, as I've been flying behind a 296
for several years and have never had a problem reading the screen. In fact,
I'm always impressed by how bright it is. I would think if anything the
older units might not be as bright, but mine was a very early model. Maybe
some are different, or maybe some people just perceive them differently.
I'd spend some time with the unit first and see if you have a problem before
sending it in.
