ragedracer1977 Posted March 30, 2019 Report Posted March 30, 2019 Finally got one of these installed in my plane. If you fly a lot, especially IFR and have a 430 or 530, this thing is awesome! I flew to SoCal yesterday. About 1/4 way through the flight, I got a complete reroute, with a couple victor airways. I believe it was 11 waypoints. In the past, I’ve had to spin the knob for a few minutes. Not a big deal in VMC, but handflying IMC, that’s a real chore. This time, I just punched the screen of the iPad a few times, and hit send to panel, done! Took 15 seconds at most. Great upgrade! 3 Quote

I installed the system about three years ago and I love it.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 1 Quote

I really had no idea just how useful this would be either until I bought an airplane with it already installed. 2 Quote
bradp Posted April 2, 2019 Report Posted April 2, 2019 Second most useful install. First was an Audi panel where I could hear ATC. This is a strong second. It’s awesome how much it reduced workload. Quote
