Ladies and gentlemen, Pan AM fight 233 will be landing shortly at Hualien airport, Taiwan.

The weather is quite cloudy, but once on the ground it'll be a fine day. Please fasten your seatbelts.

Could someone please restrain that elderly British gentleman that we picked up in California, and tell him that we don't need to see the ground to land?

..... :lol: ... :lol: ...!

Would the elderly Gentleman from California risk landing in those atmospheric conditions, in his little Cessna 150?... :o ....

..I don't think so!

It would be clouding his judgement.... ;) ...!

Paul... :lol: ... :lol: ......!

I owe it all to GA Panels and the small monitors that I use for flight instruments.

Being able to always look right where the instruments are, as opposed to trying to find them on the main screen, makes a BIG difference.

Then too, with my eyesight I need larger instrument gauges.



When I get near the airport, and below the cloud cover, it's always a joy to see an airport where it should be.

All I have to do then is bounce up and down on the runway a few times as I dodge buildings at the end of the runway. :lol:

But that's why I'm a highly paid pilot! I can do the hard stuff. :D



These 2 screens have extra navigation gauges to fit more of the old planes that I like to fly. If I flew a lot of jets I wouldn't use G.A. Panel. But all in all I'm pretty happy with it.

PS - this is an older setup. I now have a track that I can drop the monitors into so they don't sag, left and right.

Looking good ;)

A little disappointed with your grass in #3! Is that the FTX Global?
