No comment on the Zaonflight PCASs, as I have no experience with
them...

I have flown a Ryan 9900B TCAD equipped Seneca, and found the bearing
display a critical part of the TCAD package. Occasionally the Ryan
would only show altitude/distance (no bearing), and it was pretty
frustrating to only know there is a guy out there... It is REALLY
hard to find a plane only by knowing approximate range and altitude
delta. This is especially the case when near the pattern, and there
are multiple targets.

If I was going to buy a Zaonflight, I would shell out the bigger bucks
for the one equipped with Bearing.
