In this Q&A episode of the Malibu Guru Podcast, Joe is joined by Matt Courtney to answer listener-submitted questions focused on the PA-46 and real-world flying scenarios.

The discussion dives into several key operational topics, including vacuum and pressurization systems, KFC 150 autopilot behavior when paired with the GTN 750 during approaches, icing considerations, and proper use of windshield heat, and real-world ATC routing scenarios pilots encounter in everyday IFR flying.

Joe and Matt share practical insights drawn from experience, emphasizing the importance of understanding both legacy and modern avionics, managing system failures, and making sound decisions in challenging conditions. The conversation also touches on PA-46 operational nuances, system management, and why staying proficient with your aircraft’s technology is critical for safety and efficiency.
