You'll find their employees are gagged from talking about the company on the Internet, face book etc. There are a few well known PPRuNe identities that work there too, but will most likely not respond to some of the above comments for this reason.

Last I heard the garmin 100s are all gone and using IFR garmin 155s as mentioned above. Any units that are 'VFR only' are due to not being coupled (for a lack of a better word) to the HSI i.e. no GPS tracking or hold mode. I'm not an avionics expert, but that is the way it was explained to me.

There was this one at Brisbane, but it was in February so more than three months ago.

As always, great painting.
Is there a lighting outage at the airport though?
EDIT: just realised that's not YBBN. Which port is it?
