Panel mount 796

[Steve Dawson]

 I realize that the 796 being a poratble is to be used for reference only however has anyone using the unit flown an approach with the synthetic vision on and what were your impressions of it's accuracy?

Adding WAAS GPS / GPSS / vertical guidance would be nice.  This would make the Aspen a solid addition to my current HSI + KLN90B + autopilot.

I need professional help just to spec the possibilities.

...Sorry I was thread drifting with Byron...

Best regards,

Okay now this is reaching, but can I install a GPSS and have my 396 drive the autopilot?

Would be a nice addition while I await the Avidyne.

For driving your autopilot you need certified equipment ....DAC is making a seprate box which can be interfaced with most of the HSI's

I know I am repeating myself, but you can get now as temporary promotion a LED SN3500 (7K$) you can add roll GPSS steering software for 7-800$, ....a separate GPSS box will cost you also minimum 3-4K$...the older KLN's aren't supporting this....However the SN3500 has course slewing so it will anticipate the turn no fly-over but more a fly by.... so even with the older GPS from the moment you can load a flight plan or have a basic RNAV approach it will fly it....

The SN can later on be upgraded with a AHRS and give you an additional back up ATT...To what I know to fly LPV you need a WAAS GNS430 or similar......
