Another who pays question
Since when is operating the radar on the ground with people around part of a
pre-flight check list? It certainly isn't in my POH. Don't you think the installer should have at least checked the operation prior to releasing the plane? The problem with avionics shops is that they seem to use installers who couldn't cut it at Best Buy installing car stereos. I've watched 'em work on my plane (three different shops, in three different states) and in every instance the guy who was doing the actual work, hanging upside down from the seats, was a real mouth-breather who may have been a good bench-tech, but appeared to have little experience or common sense. I always assumed that I got those guys working on my plane because I fly a lowly Cherokee -- "Hey, let's let Bob learn the ropes on that guy's plane!" -- but maybe it's universal? Of course, at some shops a Baron would be considered "entry level" -- so it's all relative. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
