quipment available. Now comes my question, what will I be allowed to use on my instrument checkride ? I am assuming that the examiner will want the 530 switched off at some stage for at least one ILS approach, while using the KX170B + GS Indicator ? While things can mysterious fail at any time, you should be prepared to use everything in the plane. I got to use my moving map (the only thing that failed was the AI and the HSI) throughout the checkride. I used the autopilot for the holding pattern up to the procedure turn on the first approach and then he requested I hand fly from then on. After the stickies came on during unusual attitudes, he had me go fly the GPS approach partial panel. Of course the GPS feeds my HSI, but it's as easy following the purple line on the map just zoom it up. He even suggested that I could use the autopilot if I knew how to make it work in that regime (which I did for a while, but it was so gusty that the thing was hunting all over the course, so we decided I could do a better job handflying it). |
