The former is low-level tactical stuff at the air traffic facility level; the latter is at the presidential and joint chiefs staff level. The Europeans have been known to cry about falling sky on more than one occasion. Their "concerns" about GPS defy logic for those involved in aviation planning and system risk assessment. |

G1000 vs Steam guages initial thoughts...
I also fly a C-182 with G1000 although my personal airplane in an M20.
The glass cockpit is nice but it sure seems to suck the useful load out of a C-182. I have more useful load in my Mooney and the 182 burns 3 gals/hr more to go 20% slower than the Mooney. However, I love being able to download METARs from across the country and listen to XM radio in the cockpit. Also the C-182's TIS traffic system is better than the PCAS I have in the M20. -Robert wrote: I have just finished two concurent aircraft learning programs 1)Getting my instrument currency back. doing some paractice, taking a IPC. All done in a round dial 172. 2)Getting checked out in a G1000 182. I've finished the King G1000 VFR and IFR course and spent about 6 hours in the G1000, I've also finished theG1000 182 VFR checkout. |
