Took advantage of a short window of wonderful flying weather after too many grey days.

Instrumente panel of a light aircraft with multiple computer screens, displaying primary flight instruments, a map, and engine parameters; a tablet with flight navigation software is mounted on the yoke. Hangars and the spinning propeller can be seen through the windshield.

View out the left window of a light aircraft, the front half of the blue-tipped white wing cab be seen. A lake with a small island takes up most of the frame, under a blue sky with few small clouds.

Finally managed to install the new databases on the #G3X Touch in our #Piper. A bit confusing, since it wasn't obvious at first that, although most databases get installed into the device, the Jeppesen VFR operation charts remain on the SD card. There is generally a scarcity of information on how to obtain and install Europe VFR charts at all. They are neither necessary nor available for the US (instead, Sectionals are always preinstalled). So all tutorials or videos are either US-centric, or the European pilots never bothered with VFR approach charts. It's a tiny market, and it shows.

A blue-and-white Piper Archer III with open door sitting at night in a hangar lit by fluorescent tubes. A small ground-power unit with cable is lying on the ground beside it. Parts of other light aircraft, ladders, chairs and other things typical for a hangar can be seen in the background.

A blue-and-white Piper Archer III on the ground at night, the background is almost completely black, diffuse white light is illuminating the plane and one person is pulling it by the nose gear with a towbar.

Jeppesen Shop?

We are trying to #update the database on our #Garmin G3X Touch, and only #Jeppesen seems to offer VFR approach charts for Europe. (I confirmed that Garmin doesn't.)

But their web shop has been down due to "technical issues", for several days running now. Does anyone know what happened?

So, #Garmin does not offer Visual Operation Charts for Europe for their best-selling light-aircraft #EFIS, the G3X Touch. I asked their support explicitly because I couldn't find it. If you want it, you need a ChartView key, and purchase the charts separately from #Jeppesen.

Wie mit dem Lineal gezogen.
Moderne Autopiloten sind schon eine nette Sache. Die von #SkyDemon aufgezeichnete Flugroute unseres Ausflugs mit @chrismarquardt und @nahlinse (das Foto stammt von einem anderen Flug).
