Dual glide slope, $95...priceless!

The one that was off is a newer Garmin, installed along with the GNS430 by the previous owner. While I haven't checked the logs on this, I'd bet it hasn't been tuned since then. During the first 1.5 years of ownership, both VORs were never more than +/- one degree. Interesting, those are normally highly accurate. I also have two glideslopes. I always tell myself I should set both but almost always forget. Even when I do set it, I tend to forget to look at the #2. However, I do take careful note of the FAF altitude as a GS verification. -Robert |
