Took advantage of a short window of wonderful flying weather after too many grey days.

Finally managed to install the new databases on the #G3X Touch in our #Piper. A bit confusing, since it wasn't obvious at first that, although most databases get installed into the device, the Jeppesen VFR operation charts remain on the SD card. There is generally a scarcity of information on how to obtain and install Europe VFR charts at all. They are neither necessary nor available for the US (instead, Sectionals are always preinstalled). So all tutorials or videos are either US-centric, or the European pilots never bothered with VFR approach charts. It's a tiny market, and it shows.

So, #Garmin does not offer Visual Operation Charts for Europe for their best-selling light-aircraft #EFIS, the G3X Touch. I asked their support explicitly because I couldn't find it. If you want it, you need a ChartView key, and purchase the charts separately from #Jeppesen.

Wie mit dem Lineal gezogen.
Moderne Autopiloten sind schon eine nette Sache. Die von #SkyDemon aufgezeichnete Flugroute unseres Ausflugs mit @chrismarquardt und @nahlinse (das Foto stammt von einem anderen Flug).
