I've used the Garmin yoke mount on the 172 several times. No big deal
as far as the ease of mounting it. Of course with a yoke mount the
GPS moves whenever the yoke moves, it's not directly in your field of
view as it would be mounted on top of the panel, and you may not get
as much yoke travel on the flare unless you remove it prior to
landing.


How would it affect the yoke travel when pulling back during the flare?
It would be mounted on thge yoke shaft just forward of the yoke itself.

I could see how it might affect the yoke travel if you had to push it
all the way in and dive, but how often would have to do that in a 172?

I'm trying to figure out how I'll mount it when I have a
yoke clip attached when flying IFR in a plane without a panel mount
GPS.


Put the GPS on the yoke and the approach plate on your kneeboard (one
of the few real uses for a small kneeboard).
