We have a few spots left in some of the Flight Design Maintenance Classes. We have started waiting lists for Airframe and Advanced Composite. If you are waiting we suggest that you call now to make sure you can get a spot before it is too late.
Flight Design Service Bulletin- Garmin
Certain SL30, SL40 and GNS 480 units may generate spurious emissions when transmitting. When they exist with a particular unit, it is unlikely that the pilot will be aware of the condition. Nevertheless, affected units are to be returned to Garmin for calibration that provides a permanent correction for this condition.
We issue a Flight Design Service Bulletin. Please note that SB lists the incorrect allen wrench size for removing the radio. The SB states 2.5mm, but it’s actually 3/32”
All these documents will present on our webpage:
