Default Dual glide slope, $95...priceless!

Great to hear! Also glad to hear you got that VOR problem resolved ;-)

Yeah, me too. Turns out one partner was working with ATC to have them
tell him when he was on a given airway. #2 nav said dead on, #1 nav
showed six degrees left of course. Gee, didn't we just see that
recently? :-)


By the way, our club now owns a brand new 172SP with the G1000!
I don't think I'm going to be flying it thought, but it sure looks nice!
I think the hourly rate is going to be something like $115 wet.


IIRC, my brother pays something like $112/hr. wet for a non glass 172SP
at KRHV. $115 wet for the G1000 172 sounds pretty reasonable...but,
yeah, I hear you. At some point, I'd like to get a couple hours in
something with a glass panel...no big hurry though.
