Iridium WiFi Hotspot for General Aviation
A few months ago I started looking for a solution which would allow me to stay in touch with the office during long cross country flights. A trip last fall in a Mooney Acclaim from Washington to Miami during the mid-day time period convinced me that if I was going to be flying myself to meetings, I needed to have some way of keeping in touch while en route. I researched a bunch of different options, but because of cost and size, all seemed more suited for execs in jets. Aircells are great, but… (flightaware.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Scott, Could you please send the article , to [email protected]. I would like to know more about this process and how it works and with what equipment. Thanks, Bill
Forget the hotspot! 7hrs55 in the seat of a Mooney? Holy pisspot!
That's some wacky tracking at 7PM ... http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N411JL/history/20120427/1445Z/U42/KHEF/tracklog

Holy pisspot indeed....and over 20 gallons left in the tanks at the end. That was my partner flying that trip. He had her leaned out to a little less than 11 gph and still had pretty respectable ground speed. The Acclaim is a great little machine. It has wifi now, but if only it had a bathroom!
:) Thanks for the follow-up. I've always said that Mooneys are a pilot's machine. My partner & I flew a 201 from Homestead, FL to Hemet, CA in 16 hobbs hours ... but it certainly was *not* non-stop!
Please send full article to [email protected] also. This is very intriguing.
