Carbon monoxide (CO) has been a potential safety issue for the GA community for as long as we have had combus­tion engines and enclosed cockpits.

I first covered Trig Avionics in our September 2016 issue and frankly, I’m surprised it has been that long.

As other manufacturers were introducing new solid-state options, Aspen was already there and upgrading theirs.

I’ve been an advocate for legacy aircraft owners since before I became an avionics consultant at Eastern Avionics in 1997. That’s because I was one.

It’s about using technology to enhance your virtual visibility! Pilots in IFR condi­tions get a lot of help from Air Traffic Control (ATC)

If you’ve been reading my articles for the last nine years, you know I frequently refer to the term “Light IFR.” Sometimes I wonder if I invented the term.

Pilots have lots of questions about avionics, so Cessna Own­er and PIPERS magazines reached out in a member enews­letter and asked for your general avionics questions.

If you’re considering a gift for your favorite pilot, copilot, or maybe just for yourself, anyone who loves to fly always appreciates new flying toys

Up until recently, pilots kept their wings level and on course using vacuum-driven mechani­cal gyros. The mechanical attitude indicator (AI) and directional gyro (DG) have been with us for many years

When anticipating an avionics upgrade, especially a whole-panel upgrade, we tend to put a lot of thought into the equipment, with consideration for how we plan to fly, our budget, and what equipment is best for our mission.

No matter your motive for upgrading your panel, it makes sense to do it right and to know what the aircraft will be worth when it comes time to sell. Remember, you’re putting hours on the engine, which, frankly, has the greatest effect on aircraft val­ues (that and damage history). You also need to know who you are and where you are going.

What is worth the investment? It often depends on what will be repairable in the future I got into...
