Garmin 300XL RNAV Approaches Missing Intermediate Fixes?
Just wondering if anyone knows about this and can explain to me if its legal or not. I've reached out to Jeppesen as well. So, I'm working on my instrument rating in my Fairchild (sorry not an RV, but there is lots of knowledge here) and it has a Garmin 300XL GPS connected to two AV30's with...

Thoughts on the Plane Power AL12-EI60
Yeah they all go through the firewall at the same spot. #1 and #3 spend more time with the B lead wire since the pass through is on the bottom left of the firewall (from the pilot's perspective). But it's still odd that #1 CHT and #3 EGT don't have the noise since they have the same distance on...
