Frankly, it appears to me that the major advantage of the Tailbeaconn X is that it’s one of the few if not the only that operates on both ADS-B...

I certainly wasn't describing total power off approaches, nor was anyone else. I generally keep a bit of power above idle through the approach……just...

I have ABI ten inch wheels on my airplane, with 8.50 x 10 tires. That makes a nice combination if you do a fair amount of back country flight, but...

But, that is the point: Strobes are generally brighter than LEDs. I put a SkyBeacon on my plane for ADS-B out. It provides an LED red position...

But can you read a newspaper, without cheaters? MTV
