I can't give you the definite answer about the date/MSN when GPSes made their way into the A32F, but perchance a bit of anecdotal evidence might help with narrowing down the uncertainty range. Amongst (few) 19s and 20s I've flown, the newest ADIRS equipped was delivered in Mar '97 while the oldest GNADIRS one first flew in Jan '98.

Beside tablelessness, having no refuel panel in the cockpit was another of my pet hates.

Just curious: were they real, vibrating ice probes or just those spigots on central windscreen pillar?
