It would be nice to have victor airways in the box....

All the necessary components of Victor airways are in the box. What you
want, I presume, is an airway database. I guess you have to go to a
G-1000 to get that.;-)


I know they are, that's what's so frustrating. And once Piper makes a
Malibu or Meridan with a G1000 instaed of the Avidyne panel, I might
just trade up.....


AviDyne uses the Garmin GPS for it's Nav input, so get the Avidyne, but
attach a GPS-480 to it if you REALLY want airways.


It would be interesting to see if there's an STC for that
installation. I know I can't drop in the 530W units right now because
the Meggitt Magic display software update hasn't come out and without
it there are required functions missing. From what S-Tec says at
least that issue will be fixed early in the new year.
