Garmin GTN-650
As was stated in the recent newsletter our Cessna 172 is
currently receiving a new Garmin 650 system and should be back next week. In order to fly the aircraft you will
have to do the following;
- view the following link for general information on this
system.

- Review the user manual and complete the test. Everyone that is qual'd in the Arrow or
working on their qual must do this training.
- review the test with a CFI and ensure it is logged in your
training folder.
- No one will be allowed to use this system under IFR conditions
unless they have been trained/qual'd with a CFII. The Chief Pilot will be directing this
training at a later date.
- Until we have procured a ground power option, do not operate the
system on aircraft power longer than necessary to do your ground checks, once
aircraft has been started you may load your flight route data and any additional
inputs as necessary. THIS WILL BE
STRICTLY ENFORCED, the aircraft has a new battery so don't be the one who
ignores this policy!
- We paid over 14k for this system, so please take care of it and
treat it like it's yours. It is a
touchscreen so we will find out what type of cloth can be used to clean the
screen and make that available.
Hope you enjoy flying with it!
