For a mere 1 AMU more you can add a Flight Stream 210.  Then you can type waypoint names on your  tablet’s keyboard and send flight plans to the 530W via Bluetooth. Or you can edit flight plans graphically.  Either is way better than the 530W’s “twist-twist-push” data entry. 

And with the FS210 you get a “free” solid state AI to backup that spinning gyro in the panel.  

Not to mention adding victor air way capability!

That would be swell. AI/Vacuum was overhauled about 3.5 years ago, which would have been conservatively 300 hours ago.  Funny because when I took this photo I hadn't started up yet.  When I did we found the suction tube was re-mounted backwards.  My AI was doing a dance!

Just a very basic reminder, but one that catches pilots new to the 430/530/650/750 units.  Always be sure that the CDI button is set for GPS or VLOC matching the type of approach you are flying.  This mistake can be deadly.  The other common mistake is not setting the Course direction for an ILS approach.

I've never heard of or looked into the FS210, sounds like an interesting way to spend more money...

Ah, that's why.  You're stuck with Foreflight, Apple and Garmin for everything

Yep, I’m stuck with a well-integrated multi-vendor suite that works well.
