    I am facing the annual on my plane already at the beginning of july. I have a repairman's certificate for this plane. Can anyone give me any guidance as to where to look to see a list of things that should be done/checked. Thanks, -- Tom Sargent, RV-6A N811WT

    Subject: Re: PMA8000BT software upgrade
    Hi David, Yes, the PMA8000BT does music and phone both. We use the bluetooth for iPad and iPhone audio for music all the time. From what I understand the 9000EX does NOT do music, for anyone else who may be following this. Regarding the 2nd question for you and your wife, I'm assuming you mean can you each have separate music from eachother... If you want separate music, you'd have to use #1 and #1, and in that case, only #1 is bluetooth-able. And, to make matters worse, you'd have to also have her headset plugged into a jack that is normally for rear seat folks, because #1 is used to feed the pilot/co-pilot, and #2 is passengers. If that were the case, the easiest would be to just have her plug into a different jack...one that is either in the back seats, or if you have something like an RV-7, just install a 3rd jack that is for "passengers". There is one other way around the single-bluetooth thing. You can buy a device called the Belkin Aircast Auto, that plugs into a 3.5mm jack, and gives full bluetooth ability for that input as well. They're not that expensive, and if you plugged that into Music #2, you'd have the effective equivalent of 2 bluetooth connections to choose from, and the rear passengers could then have bluetooth as well.

    Well, those Friendly Feds Against Aviating, publish a list in Part 43, Appendix D, which is the minimum for a certified plane. 99% will apply to OBAM aircraft.
