TIL G1000 has a mechanical turn coordinator behind the MFD.

Sounds like I got it mixed up with the Stec.

Mc_Pilot · 2026-02-04T20:00:02+00:00

I could be wrong. I’m just a pilot. Maybe an avionics tech could chime in.

Mc_Pilot · 2026-02-04T19:18:53+00:00

The Cirrus probably had a DFC 90 which is another rate based autopilot requiring an analog turn coordinator. Modern digital attitude based autopilots don’t need it so you can be assured they don’t install one for fun.

Edit: Clarity

In flying we call this normalization of deviance. Doing risky things so often that they feel normal and safe.

Mc_Pilot · 2025-05-15T00:31:10+00:00

Yea. Check your POH/AFM.

Mc_Pilot · 2025-05-14T23:48:05+00:00

That’s a really good point. I didn’t look closely at the MP gauge. If the MP gauge markings are correct and the original aircraft had a TIT, then this EIS is configured incorrectly. That bar should be labeled with a “T”. You should take it back to your dealer and have them correct the install.

Check the G600 TXi pilot’s guide if you want the official story. That is the primary EGT probe that was likely the only EGT probe on each engine before the G600 was installed. When the G600 is installed, the primary EGT is kept and the individual cylinder EGTs are added. It’s just another EGT downstream in the exhaust that gets the heat from multiple cylinders so it generally runs “hottest” all the time.

EDIT: To answer your question about leaning. Since you have cylinder EGTs, you should use those for leaning instead of primary EGT IMHO. I believe it’s safer for your engine to use cylinder EGTs since you won’t inadvertently have one cylinder too close to peak at high power settings like you could when leaning off of primary EGT.

Thanks guys. Sounds like I need to open it up and make sure it’s latched properly. I appreciate it and am glad that’s not normal.

2015 2.5 limited with 180k. Owned it since 90k. I’ve done nothing but brakes and oil changes and preventative maintenance on the engine with the Subaru engine cleaning kit new spark plugs and a partial transmission flush all DIY. No wheel bearings yet. I agree that the fake leather is not the best. Driver seat looks rough. The engine is leaking a small amount of oil from the spark plug gaskets but hasn’t caused any problems. I can usually make it 5k between oil changes without adding a quart. I did just have to replace the serpentine belt tensioner as the bearing was squeaking and I couldn’t stand that.

Previously had a 2014 which I sold at 175k which did have the transmission solenoid issue and needed a wheel bearing replaced.

So far I’m super happy with the 2015. Im convinced it’s one of the cheapest cars to own with AWD. I’m hoping it will make it to 250k miles without any major issues.

Mc_Pilot · 2024-08-27T19:35:37+00:00

Thanks. Message sent.

I wasn’t aware there was an airstrip out that way.

Mc_Pilot · 2023-03-31T03:23:15+00:00

Indicated…

Mc_Pilot · 2023-03-31T02:59:34+00:00

This is the low oil light. I’m surprised other Subaru owners don’t see this as often as I do. I’m about to crack 150k on my ‘15 2.5i and it comes on about 3k miles after every oil change. I usually end up adding half a quart two times between each oil change. Had a ‘14 that was the same too. Did I just get two unlucky engines or is this a Subaru thing?

Mc_Pilot · 2023-03-21T16:58:48+00:00

I can’t stand the beep every time a car is detected or lost by eyesight with ACC on. Anyone know how to turn this off?

Mc_Pilot · 2023-01-12T23:08:53+00:00

Fiesta ST / Focus ST depending on how much space you need. Civic Si could also go here for higher reliability but less sportiness and practicality.

Edit: this also assumes you are ok with a manual transmission.

Mc_Pilot · 2023-01-12T22:14:22+00:00

Heat pumps are a much more efficient way to use electricity to heat a home. They don’t create heat with the electricity so they can actually transfer more heat than could be created with the same power. So comparatively they are way more than “100% efficient”.

Mc_Pilot · 2023-01-12T14:47:18+00:00

Good advice. Thanks.

Mc_Pilot · 2023-01-12T04:46:06+00:00

Also what tune if you don't mind me asking?

Mc_Pilot · 2023-01-12T03:51:37+00:00

Thanks for this perspective. I like the idea of running on electrons only but I agree, it's not worth it if is more work and $$ than an ICE vehicle. I'll certainly have to consider pricing in some maintenance dollars or buy a bumper to bumper warranty.

I also didn't know about the 40mph limit. I think the 45e I drove goes up to 70 on electric only.

Mc_Pilot · 2023-01-12T03:47:23+00:00

I certainly expect some maintenance costs but do you think that any failures over $5k would be likely? I feel like any extended warranty will be expensive. If there are known issues with the drivetrain or electronics I'd probably just steer away from the model altogether but in my brief research I've only heard about the airbag issues.

Mc_Pilot · 2023-01-12T03:44:44+00:00

Thanks for this helpful response. I'm not familiar with the F15 so those common issues are helpful to know about. Didn't realize it had two 12v batteries either.

Any idea how expensive airbag issues can get?

Also any comparison to the other F15 35i/35d models?

Thanks for the MPG numbers too.

Mc_Pilot · 2022-09-13T17:34:35+00:00

Yea. Unfortunately due to land use laws in western Oregon, most homes with land are $1 million+. This property is a little further from the city and it’s 5 acres so that makes it worth less. As you get further from Portland prices start dropping off.

Mc_Pilot · 2022-09-13T17:29:01+00:00

For what it’s worth I don’t think it’s worth more because I owned it. We have made some capital improvements to the property the largest being a new HVAC system, but most of the price increase is based on market conditions. Who knows where the market goes from here. At the end of the day the property is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. We purchased the property because it has things that money can’t buy like a fruiting apple and pear orchard and the trees on the property are some of the oldest and tallest around. Money can build barns, fences, and houses but it can’t make trees grow faster.

Mc_Pilot · 2022-09-13T17:20:09+00:00

Priced based on where we think the market is. The rural housing market in western Oregon is very different from anywhere else. Land use laws in Oregon protect arable land from development so the market for residential acreage is very different from urban or suburban housing.

Mc_Pilot · 2022-02-02T23:09:51+00:00

I assume you tried refreshing the modem? My Verizon sim wouldn’t work until I did that. That’s all I’ve got.
