IMPORTANT BEFORE FLIGHT INFORMATION:

  • The airspeed indicator outer ring is in MPH
  • The mixture control is push-pull NOT vernier type knob do not turn
  • The flap actuator is a toggle with three positions (UP – NEUTRAL – DOWN) and there are no indents or gates. The amount of actuation is shown by an instrument on the gauge panel.  The toggle MUST BE BROUGHT TO NEUTRAL after each desired actuation to stop movement of flaps. Leaving in UP or DOWN position will allow flaps to fully actuate and also may risk flap motor damage or failure.
  • The ADS-B Out Transceiver is an uAvionix navigation light circuit powered unit.  The NAVIGATION LIGHT SWITCH MUST BE ON to transmit ADS-B Out data.
  • REVIEW all information for the aircraft by clicking its tail number in FLIGHT CIRCLE before flight.  A checkout on N91PA is recommended even if already checked out on our 172 aircraft.

    ADS-B IMPORTANT UPDATE:  There is now a Stratux (yes…with an x) set up in 91PA in place of the outgoing uAvionics Scout. It’s the same kind of device that’s in 9093K. The Stratux supports ADSB and GPS services. It is NOT a Stratus or Sentry device. It Stratux powers up with the avionics and needs about 60-90 seconds to get up and running. It provides ADS-B in and GPS to most electronic flight applications like ForeFlight. To use the Stratux, join the WiFi network named “stratux” using whatever device you use.

    Please leave the Stratux in its current position as it is calibrated to stay in that position.
