Hi, Planning to put a GPSmap 196 for backup in my Cessna 172 I would like to know whether somebody has mounted a 196 on the 172 yoke? May I learn about the mounting used - original Garmin or OEM hardware like RAM? Any drawbacks or pros experienced with either gear? Otto Braasch (EDML)

General aviation is under attack: Many 'forces' would like it to go to the dust bin of history. Aircraft charter services, fractional ownership etc is growing leaps and bounds and as such, more than EVER, FBO's are LOADED with NON FLYING persons waiting to be picked up for a charter or...
