That would be interesting to know. However, I stand by my judgment that this
was pretty egregious. Fixing this wouldn't have been *that* difficult. They
knew about it at least a week beforehand--more than enough time to call
Chief and have them FedEx a new one and have any old mechanic slap it in.

The only thing I find myself really choking on in this case is the turn
coordinator. That strikes me as a sort of russian roulette. Plan A is
you
have the AI. Plan B is you have the TC. Plan C is compass and altimeter.

Any reason Plan C could not have been a handheld GPS like the Garmin 296,
with TC and AI displays?
