The 396 ROCKS! (sorry, I cant think of a better possitive explitive)
To see "real time" where the TFR's, real time winds aloft, real time cloud cover, real time lighting strikes, real time nexrad AND realtime convective sigmets is a pleasure, especially on a long cross country. While it doesnt give realtime MOA activity, it does have a quick and simple meathod of checking the altitudes and normal hours of MOAs and Restricted areas (just "mouse over" the picture and a pop up tells you...) Yes it's expensive, yes the monthly service is expensive ($50/month), but I would not want to do long VFR cross countries without it! -- -- ET :-) (student PPL pilot) "A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."---- Douglas Adams "karl gruber" wrote in : Yes. Plus a briefing. I also have the Garmin 396 ON! It gives real time TFRs and is convenient and accurate. Karl ATP,CFI, ETC "Robert M. Gary" wrote in message ups.com... Can anyone on this list actually claim to check for TFRs for every local flight in the pattern? Who would have known the VP was going to be in Sac? He came stealth. -Robert |
