[B]Noise.. What Noise ?

I can hardly tell if the avionic cooling fan is running when the engine is not so noise in flight or for that matter when taxing is not an issue.

If it is electrical noise that you are thinking of that is not a problem with the Ameri-King unit that I have fitted.

I cant see a down side to fitting avionic cooling, In my opinion the reason that cooling is not fitted is the same as the reason that DME remote channeling & GPS/Encoder interface is not fitted ...... That is the avionic companys have entirely to compeat on cost and the price of a cooling fan and some of the other functions that a lot of the owners dont understand will blunt the avionic shops compeditive edge.

The irony is that six months down the line the owner wishes that he had all the functions of the equipment fitted but now it will cost twice as much to fit the equipment to enable all the functions.
