aviatoreb Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 Quote: flyboy0681 I beg to differ on this opinion big time. Each time I fly with this unit I'm impressed more and more. I'm not sure which features I like best, the half dozen aural warnings it's capable of issuing (including target altitude alert, DA and GUMPS check), the dozen or so user configurable display options (such as next waypoint, ground speed or track error) or the silky smooth steering when the KAP 150 is engaged. I've previously written about the incredible job it does at entering and flying a holding pattern when coupled with the GTN-750, not to mention an approach. Unless the shop telling you this has a very good reason for not recommending ICARUS, you should definitely consider this unit.
aviatoreb Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 Quote: jlunseth Me too. Performance has been flawless. I had to actually give an IFR position report once over the Bahamas (despite what the texts teach, these have gone the way of the dinosaur). Some of the info. is displayed on the 430, but the Icarus button has most of it. Made it fairly painless, although fetching the syntax from my memory banks was a chore.
