The FAA just released updated AMOCs for the Navworx ADS600-B units.
The Garmin 4xx, 5xx, 6xx, and 7xx family of GPS are now included. They also fixed
the omission of the 200-0012 for the Garmin 480 as well.
Please give AOPA a couple days to get them online.

The geographic science "guarantees" a tailwind after the aircraft crosses
south of 30N; airlines and others use this. Very rarely the tailwinds don't
materialize strong enough and an aircraft ditches short of Hawaii.

Late to the party on this, but wanted to ask.
For the dual mag crowd like me... Is just using the fine wires on the
bottom six a matter of $$$ and most benefit? If so and the $$$ were not
an issue would you run on the top six also?

Personally, if money weren't an issue, I'd run them on top and
bottom. In my case though I run auto plugs on top which are also
iridium plugs, so in effect I do have the same fine-wire effect
on both. You need to be careful of that electrode, but, the fine
wire plugs are easier to get clean from the gunk that builds up,
too.

The difference of having them top and bottom is minimal. If someone gave me
the fine wire plugs for the top, sure, I would run them.
Is it worth the extra 54 bucks per plug? Well that is the heart of your
question. Do you want fine wire plugs or an Ipad?
