Best package around
Posted: Thu May 06, 2004 11:58 pmWhen it comes to single engine - general aviation, nothing comes close to the reliability of a Pratt & Whitney and all the avionics you can stuff into one cockpit. Took a short hop from Steamboat, CO to Aspen, CO.
Holding short of runway 32 doing my run-up and system checks.
Turning to intercept first VOR fix. Even though I can use GPS to my hearts delight, I would rather navigate by VOR or NDB. GPS feels like cheating...
All it needs is a stereo, a big screen and a booming system. Weather is not too bad on this flight. A little light rain.
Getting close to Aspen. Starting my decent. They wanted me to do a visual approach, but with all those mountains, I took the VOR C approach. Just incase there is a cloud sitting over the runway.
At one of my favorite FBO's. Eaglesoft FBO is "everywhere you want to be...."
