I think our 182's are a little different. We have a custom database
that includes search grids as well as a couple other differences. The
factory training is also being offered as specific to CAP. I guess if
you buy 182's in bulk you get more choices.


Wouldn't an AP enhance the aircraft's utility for CAP's use?

I would certainly think so. However, I wasn't consulted. I assume it
came down to money.

Robert,

Interestingly CAP elected NOT to purchase an autopilot
with the aircraft.


That's not interesting, it's dumb, in my view. Autopilots add too much
safety to not buy one in a plane of that category and for that kind of
use.
