My SR22 partners want to install XM weather to the tune of about $10k.
I'm not convinced it's worthwhile. The plane is based in Southern California where we don't tend to get the kind of squirrelly weather they get east of the Mississippi. In the summer we'll get isolated thunderstorms over the desert, but the plane already has a stormscope. We get marine layer fog, but XM doesn't help with that. The only situation, it seems to me, where you'd get any use out of it at all is if you're flying in a winter storm, which I something I never intend to do (and they're pretty easy to avoid because they sweep in off the Pacific and can be reliably predicted days, sometimes weeks, in advance). Does anyone out there think XM weather is worthwhile in SoCal? If so, why? Thanks, rg |
