A little IFR trip Shoreham EGKA to Coventry EGBE

Yes but if your power goes, the 430 won’t be much good

I built that timer at a time when Apple shares were worth about 1% of their recent peak

I think I can set up a reminder timer on the 430…I’ll have to figure it out…

Ah…I used to have my Garmin Aera setup with a 30 minute reminder…but now I use an ipad mini…which is so much better than the Aera…but sky demon doesn’t have the reminder function…

It’s a thingy I built when I was renting, 2000-2002. It is a ~45 min timer which flashes the lamp after 45 mins, then you press Reset and you get another 45 mins. I built it so I could switch tanks when all the electrics failed. Never used it in the TB20, of course.

Peter, what’s that home-made looking black box with the toggle switch at the bottom of your panel?

OK.I don’t see the input fields at the top.

The normal one, accessed via a private gateway. Same presentation.

Peter is that a mobile Gramet site or the normal one?

EGBE: no results found

GRAMET:

As usual, the GRAMET totally fails to forecast relatively thin stratus cloud, and low level cloud generally.

I narrowly missed you yesterday in Coventry… we arrived around eleven and departed in the early evening, but were parked on the other side of the airport. The weather was extremely nice for England this time of the year! Below is a photo (iPhone) of London from the return flight (approx. FL 250 climbing to 410) with very few clouds:
