I can answer your question about bluetooth GPS recievers. I bought a Garmin
unit through Anywhere Map for use with their software. It has a battery

Come on guys!
Get serious! Anyone who is looking at an airspeed indicator to determine
when an airplane is going to stall needs to learn how to fly. While airspeed
(actually equivalent airspeed [EAS], look it up) can be helpful to measure
performance, when it comes down to flying the plan

just coming up on 2 years on the A-300. We were taught, (and it works) to
