The upgraded parts of your aircraft's panel maybe distracting at first or second flight but as time goes on, you will get used to it and you'll enjoy your flight more.

Flying in Hawaii (have video to edit and photos to sort through) and then we've had the 70th anniversary of the Doolittle Raid here in Dayton with 20 B-25s buzzing around the sky this week, then Cubbin' with my friend last night.<br /><br />Much to edit and post, little time.

There are a few good links for helpful tips and tricks for the 430/530 series equipment, they are worth the time to watch them.<br /><br />Best advice, know your 430 inside and out. They can really help with your work load. I hope to get my 530 upgraded to WAAS by the end of the year. Had to put that on hold but now that the Brides health problems are settling down I'll be looking to update that, the transponder and maybe get the radio upgrade.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14637264267903131611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910924549702235794.post-51432004467653796172012-04-15T19:36:45.900-04:002012-04-15T19:36:45.900-04:00Great question, Ed.

I had slackened off on my studying for the written owing to some uncertainties around (1) actually finding an instructor (everyone wanted me to fly to other airports) and (2) some medical stuff (another story for later). With both issues resolved, I plan to start back at it in earnest with a plan to begin flying around the May/June time frame.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846593737518887287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910924549702235794.post-25289885068411440232012-04-15T19:33:36.824-04:002012-04-15T19:33:36.824-04:00Yumping yimminy!Yumping yimminy!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846593737518887287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910924549702235794.post-33066886516485344952012-04-15T16:44:16.830-04:002012-04-15T16:44:16.830-04:00Very nice upgrade, Chris.
