Line Up and Wait
The Trinnie owner is seriously considering changing out the KLN94 for the WAAS capable Garmin. If he does, he wants to do it during the annual, which is scheduled for the last 2 weeks of April and hopefully a return to service by May 9th. I plan to leave on my diddy-bopping western journey on May 30th with plans to visit many states that haven’t seen my airplane, and a final landing at Gaston’s before heading home.
Does anyone have experience transitioning from one to the other. I’ve grown up on the KLN’s and only have a tiny bit of experience with the Garmin. I’ll have 2 weeks to familiarize/train on the new equipment. Is that enough? My thinking is that my wx minimums will definitely go up due to the minimal experience, but long x-ctry’s are also a great way to get really familiar with equipment. My schedule is completely flexible, so there's no pressure. And then when I pick up Tony on my way to Gaston’s, he can drill me some more.
What’s your thoughts? The owner is willing to delay the installation if I’m uncomfortable with the timing.
