One thing I haven't figured out yet is where to put the handheld backup
GPS (we have a Garmin 430 in the plane). I would NEVER fly without at
least a handheld GPS in IMC (if there is none in the panel - if there
is, I still like the backup). The cost of that safety device has become
trivial, with the Lowrance Airmap 500 or 600c. One can put it on the
yoke, and I would if it were my primary GPS, to have it in the scan. But
in my set-up, it then gets obscured by anything on the yoke clip.


I have a Geko 201 I toss up on the glareshield. I used to use it
simply to record tracks, but now for IMC trips I will set it to
"navigate-to" my destination airport. No map; only track, desired
track, distance, and altitude. But I do train with it, so it would be
sufficient in the event of complete electrical failure....
