Not an answer to your question but when I was setting up VPN hardware on ou
r
company aircraft (G550s), I noticed the passenger restraints and really lik
e
them. I snapped a picture with my Blackberry. I will be installing 3-point
restraints in the rear or the RV-10 and have added hardpoints to the cabin
top to accomodate. Looking close at the belts I noticed they were
Schroth<http://www.schroth.com/aviation/specification.php>and did some
initial research.
http://nerv10.com/img/SchrothBelt.jpg
I really liked the Schroth restraints but never really found a US supplier
or how much they cost.
Alpha-Aviation<http://www.alphaaviation.com/page8.html>makes a 3 point
push-button release restrain for the Mooney that I'm looking
at for the rear.

RV10er's
Matt Collier of Fibercraft, Redmond Or. is putting the finishing touches on
an awesome RV10. The aircraft has been under wraps during design and
development of the new 3.0 liter engine and PSRU, as well as many other new
innovative features and details. Matt's many years of experience in the
development of experimental and certified aircraft really shine with this
project.
I am pleased to make the first announcement of Matt's new RV10 and also
mention that this aircraft will feature a new custom rudder pedal system
that we supplied and full climate control system by Flightline AC. There are
many more surprises to be featured on this RV10, watch the youtube video and
try to find the door knob?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEEY_sp1Q3I
It's going to be a great year at Oshkosh, we look forward to seeing Matt's
RV10 and all of you there.

I'm getting close to purchasing an iPad2 for inflight charts and plates.
Can I use Foreflight to track my path on the charts using the built in
GPS feature without subscribing to either 3G or 4G service? If that
won't work I'll get the blue tooth hook up for an external GPS.

Yes, if you have a 3G version you do NOT have to activate it to use the GPS.
My new iPad 2 Verizon 3G has never been activated and it works fine. I alw
ays recommend to ONLY buy 3G versions, even though many people will never ac
tivate them.

Tim,
I go through annoying stretches with my Verizon iPad2 where it
tells me I have not activated my Cellular Plan and asks me if I want to now
or ignore. I tell it to ignore and soon it asks me again. Then I go for long
stretches where I does not ask me to activate. The entire time I have
Settings > Cellular Data > OFF.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Strange, I haven't seen the same thing. I leave the cellular data
OFF too. I'm not sure why yours would do that. I wonder if it's
something within the app you're running at the time?

| Subject: | ADS-B coverage Map and email |
Hi all,
Today I had an email from the FAAsafety.gov site talking
about ADS-B availability in the KMSP area, which I've of
course noticed for quite some time. So I'm not sure if
it's finally "official" or what, but, it did give some info
and a pretty nice link to a gov't website on ADS-B, so I
thought I'd put it here for you to see.
Attached are a couple of coverage related screenshots...The
map that shows coverage zones shaded is pretty poor on
accuracy from what I've found, because I've had coverage
in lots of those areas that show no coverage. But, if
you compare it to the ground station map, you'll see that
some areas like Arizona and SoCal are filled with stations,
so there really is coverage there. Anyway, thought some
of you who routinely ask me coverage questions might like
to see this stuff.

Here is the email I got:
-- FAASafety.gov --------------------------------------------------------
ADS-B in the Minneapolis Area
Notice Number: NOTC2960

| Subject: | PLB personal locator beacon |
I know that all aviators understand PLBs but it sure would save a lot of
lives and a lot of search time and money if the nation at large were
aware of their unique value. I just read an account of a Canadian woman
who was just recovered after weeks in the wilderness along the NV-ID
border; her husband who went for help is still missing. There is a
Fastfind PLB made by McMurdo which costs between $250-$500. The price
when I first purchased was $500 but my last two purchases were the
Fastfind 210 for about $250. After receiving your unit, you register the
beacon on a federal website; no charge; registration must be renewed in
five years. Registration requires phone contacts for when the beacon is
activated.
When an emergency occurs and cell phones are not an option, activate the
beacon. Within a couple of minutes the internal WAAS GPS locates your
position and digitally transmits the beacon ID, and exact position to
national SAR in MD. The initial data transmission is 406Mh to a
geosynchronous satellite over the Pacific or Atlantic which downlinks to
MD SAR. They check the phone contacts for info; if no answer or info,
local 911 responders go to the coordinates provided. Neither this or
cell phones will work from the bottom of a well but this technology is
designed to work most anywhere on the planet. I carry one of these in my
aircraft for anyone who survives the crash. New passengers are briefed
on its location and activation.
The Fast 210 is the size of a cigarette pack and can be carried in a
pocket if survivors are forced out of the wreckage due to fire or for
other reasons need to leave the area. Two of my 4 land vehicles also
have a PLB in the glove compartment; cell phones have been known to be
INOP in the deserts, mountains, on/over water and other wilderness.
I know that some aviators use 406Mh ELTs but even these have their
limitations; will they survive the crash? can a survivor extract the ELT
and antenna and get away from a burning wreckage? Some use SPOT which
requires purchase and an annual fee.
I also use APRS for tracking in the aircraft, and three land vehicles;
even in aircraft there are places (Minden Valley NV) where even a 10W 2
meter signal (@14000MSL) will not hit a digipeater and dump the track
into the internet.

Thanks Tim.
I love the disclaimer. Apparently FAA weather (METARs and TAFs) obtained thru an
FAA source (ADS-B) cannot be used to satisfy FAA regulatory requirements!
I can hear all the conversations with FSS/ Flight Watch now: "Well, we've got the
Notam and TAF for our destination, but it doesn't count and we need to hear
it from you" (!)

There are wonderful aspects of technology and the PLB is one of those...
On the other side of the coin is GPS got these poor people into the sam
e situation as apparently it showed a shortcut and they followed the tip
right into that remote canyon and got stuck. Altho I still believe the
latest / greatest stuff is a super tool when used properly.
