When your GPS bugs out tomorrow the 20th and again on the 21st, due to a CME .....there ain't nothing wrong with the Garmin.  Don't write it up.

But how do I navagate, I don't know how to use FOM ;-)

Just push the flashing red "Solar Warming Button" on the panel.  This switches the Satellite Transponder to Urannus, you can then navigate from there but you do have to pull your head out once in a while to maintain visual.

Cute and witty there pops.

But Transponder implies interrogation.

I know you are too old to understand how all the new tech works.

But that's not how GPS works.

Your receiver does not interrogate the gps satellite asking for some gps data....  it's (the satellite) always transmitting.

Sorry OPi, didn't mean any disrespect. Just adding my little bit of Idiocracy, so much needed in this highly technical and informative forum.  I have found if I buy my underwear one size larger they don't get bunched up in a wad.  You might try it.  Yes, Idiocracy is a real word.  Look it up you will be suprised

I'll give you a good def of Idiocracy.  When you have a pilot come in and complain about a very particular and peculiar problem that only he is experiencing with the autopilot.  Let's say...it has a problem only in 3que and it seems to be collective channel related.  You tell him to verify and besure to check all of the trim rel switches because if one is intermittent it would do just what he is describing.  He comes back and says no, all that seems ok. 

This goes on for weeks....months.  Other pilots fly the aircraft and say it flys better than any other aircraft in the fleet.  I even take a flight with them because he(the problem pilot_)is never around to maintenance fly it and they can't make it fail in such a way that he is having.  It flys perfect they say.  I tell them that's because we've changed every part in the AFCS system for pilot grumpy trying to solve his issue.....of course it's gonna fly perfect, every thing is new like a 10 hour aircraft.

So after wasting hundreds of thousands on expensive actuators and what not...you know what the issue was?

A 3 dollar switch.  Yeah, the collective trigger switch, on the pilot stick....not the copilot stick....not the sugar cube coll trim swith.  It was the 3 dollar switch in his hand....  Turns out if you click it like a F.A.G.G.O.T......instead of a real man, it had a very infrequent tendancy to hang up and not fully release causing a 1kohm -ish resistance when both FCCS were expecting a completely closed condition. 

I ohmed this circuit several times during testing and never once, scratch that.  Once was given a clue when I saw a bad reading.....but could not duplicate the fail 100's after that trying and clicking all switches, to isolate the issue.  I clicked that switch with the other 3 also that the circuit runs thru and never again did it show high resistance again. 

Pilot grumpy can make it happen almost every time he flys. 

How the F do you call yourself a pilot when you are so out of touch with the aircraft that you can't feel a switch in your hand that you have pressed for at least 20 years .....at least......is wrong.  Feels wrong.  Behaves wrong?  And gonna send avionics on a wild goose chase over some BS?  Really bro?

That's idocracy.

A pilot with half a brain would have said....you know, I really feel like the Collective trim rel sw on the stick itself may be hanging up.....it feels weird sometimes.

Boom, problem solved in a day or two.

Not months.

I'm happy for you tho

or sorry that happened bro

Short attention spans on these new pilots.

Can't be bothered to actually concentrate for a moment even if it means not checking that text from the cute new FBO chick whilst the fully coupled ap plows you headlong into the smoking hole.

I understand bro.

good chance it would kill somebody

Says the cool bro 2 year pilot who got his fee fees hurt and can't come back with nothing creative.

I'm the only reason you idiots don't hit the dirt more often than you do.

1993.

What were you doing in 1993?

I was trouble shooting shorted 3 phase ac in the aft equipment bay of a f-cking B-1B on a South Dakota flight line at age 17.

You dad was probably only 17...jackin your spent brothers all over the dorm room walls.  How you managed to beat the odds and make it into this world is a miracle.

no wonder you're so jealous of pilots. lol
