After a year of being unable to fly for various reasons I was able to get back into the sky as pilot in command. On Sunday 8/31 I finished up my flight review and a checkout in a Garmin G1000 equiped Cessna 172SP. Its quite a change from the 2 seat Diamonds that I had been flying but what a change! With the Garmin system situational awareness improves dramatically and the in flight weather could make quite a difference on a cross country trip. If you fly I highly recommend taking a look at this system if you get a chance. A Piper J-3 on a sunny day is a blessing and a beautiful part of aviation but systems such as the G1000 have the potential to help you manage risks in ways that weren’t possible only a few years ago.
