I arrived at the Expo at Noon on Thursday after a 2+20 flight from
Columbus OH (KOSU) to West Chester (N99). 340 nm with 30-35 kt
tailwind. Excellent!!!
I attended seminars each afternoon and did the exhibit hall in the
half-hour between seminars.
Friday morning, after the General Session, I took the shuttle to the
airport to see the aircraft. I saw what I went to see... the glass
panel 182 and was given a demo on operation of the Garmin 1000's.
VERY simple operation! The only negative I noticed and asked about was
if they were going to add a "shelf" to rest your hand on so you can
press the button you intend to while bouncing around in turbulence? I
was told they had not considered it, and I was given no indication that
were concerned about it. If the picture I took turns out, I will post
it.
