AS350 SD2 with FDC - power check procedure
Saifan Pilot replied to tom_pilot's topic in General Helicopter Operations
Hello Tom, When using B2 Sand Filter power check, the Ng diagonal lines are shifted to the right (vs the power check without sand filter), making the test "easier" to pass, but I guess it's "too" easy for the IBF, so a "fine" of -4° OAT is given to make the power check just a little more difficulty to pass. Does that make sense? Soloy LLC, don't really have a power check with sand filter in their supplement, so I'm not sure of their power check procedure when IBF (or sand filter) is installed. However, if you check Soloy LLC supplement, on page 2 is specifically says sand f- 10 replies

Waypoint editing software?
Saifan Pilot replied to helipilot12's topic in General Helicopter Operations
I understand what you're going through. Really this is why I ditched Garmin in favor of iPad and Foreflight. Only thing I can think of is if you have a newer computer with USB 3.0 then the Garmin unit might not like that and prefer the older USB 2.0 port. Only way I can think of to overcome that is to buy a cheap old USB hub that only support USB 2.0, connect it to the computer and connect the Garmin to the hub and let the hub "convert" the USB 3.0 standard to USB 2.0. I had similar issues including the GPS doing a factory reset out in the field which was unacceptable. Garmin only of -
Waypoint editing software?
Saifan Pilot replied to helipilot12's topic in General Helicopter Operations
Perhaps you can elaborate what the issue is? GPX files are pretty straight forward and Basecamp and mapsource should be able to edit them very easily. -

Had lots of issues with 695 back in 2012. Sold it and switched to iPad and ForeFlight never looked back. Far superior product in every respect. -

As350 Weight & Balance Calculator
Saifan Pilot replied to Saifan Pilot's topic in General Helicopter Operations
You can view it with Mobile Microsoft Office: iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/microsoft-word/id586447913 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.word&hl=en_CA It currently only supports aircrafts I've flown: BA, B2 and B3. I've not flown B3E so haven't implemented it, but if you send me the B3E regular and cargo hook supplement W&B envelopes, I can add the B3E in my spare time. -

I ran into the same frustrating problem. The is a pretty straight forward relation between the northing and easting values. Problem is the zone letters, would be more complex, you would probably need a chart ro reference for those zones. Many pilots asked ForeFlight to add UTM, but they seem to refuse to recognize that a metric grid system exists to reference coordinates. So I created an app that converts UTM waypoint and exports it directly into ForeFlight, it got pretty good feedback but some pilots asked me to add Ontario MNR grid reference style (ONMNR), so I added it to tha

What UggaDugga posted is a good explanation. You can use apps to do the conversion for you, like: https://itunes.apple.com/app/gps-coordinate-converter/id1093539831?mt=8

I find that this forum has issues about notification for "followed" threads as well as PMs. The only way I see when I get a PM is when I log in, I never get an email notification even though I've enabled this feature.
