Mike Koerner Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 What program is running on the tablet mounted in front of the top center of the instrument panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardT Posted March 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 The program is ForeFlight, running on an iPad mini. It is connected via WiFi to a ForeFlight Sentry ASD-B receiver for traffic & weather SA. My wife has an iPad Air on a knee board also connected to the Sentry. She uses it to help with traffic situational awareness but mostly to track progress along our route and identify cities and landmarks along the way.

Tom Baker Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 Just a bit of constructive criticism. Your wife's seatbelt is pulled to high. It should be worn low on the hips. In the event of an accident the belt could cause unnecessary internal injuries worn like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardT Posted March 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 Thanks Tom. I also noticed her belt when I was editing these videos. I have now changed the way I address seat belts when going through the checklist for any passengers. She understands the correct adjustment now.

SkyGuy Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Great video from all angles!! Thanks so much for your work to create the videos and share them with us. Have you (or your passengers) ever hit their head on the overhead beam. In the cam angle facing you from the front there seems to be very little clearance between your heads and the beam. If you encountered turbulence, is head injury a possibility? I'm very interested in purchasing a CTSW or CTLS, but that overhead beam concerns me. Thanks. ~John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardT Posted March 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Hello John, Thank you for the very nice compliment. I am glad you are enjoying the videos. There are a few more on my channel where these are posted. Regarding the beam- it is actually located a little forward and not so much directly above. In moderate turbulence we have never bumped the beam. My wife did comment about her headset contacting the upper sidewall once but it was nothing to worth noting otherwise. My only concern would be a forced landing where you are more likely to pitch forward and up. However, in that situation, per procedure, you would be tightening your harnesses just before landing. We love flying the CT and I highly recommend them! Good luck! Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
