If anyone in the northeast area has had better success, I'd be
interested in a PIREP.


Although I am not in the Northeast, here is another datapoint. The folks
here at JA Air Center (Northeast Illinois - DPA) say they have done
several installations. Our local FSDO is about 1 block away from their
facility. If I recall, they were talking logbook entry and nothing more.
You might give them a call to see what they are doing. These guys are
usually pretty "by the book" and work very closely with their FSDO.

I have given this a lot of thought myself. I am concerned about whether
I will be able ot SEE the thing way across the panel. The screen is hard
enough to see on the yoke mount. At 51, the Mk I eyeballs (2 each) are
beginning to need reading glasses. On the yoke, it is a bit of a
challenge to see the small details. Across the panel with the engine
running, in light-moderate bumps, and on instruments, I really don't
know how I would be able to use it. That is also REALLY outside of my
scan. In those conditions, the yoke mount appears to be a better bet.

Any of you PPSEL - IA folks use one in actual from the dock?

Good Luck,
Mike
