biggest pile of pap going and more prone to errors than an ADF on a stormy night........
Managed to fly 1500hrs without one and the to do the JAR IR had to learn to use a VFR flight tool again. Still hate it and if I passed the last exams really will throw it in the bin or put iton eBay this time.
ASA Electronic calculator for me and guess what you can actually use that one in the air assuming that I had a total electric failure and the backup batteries on the GNS430 and the 296 both failed........ Of ocurse of the batteries went flat on the ASA as well, I really would be having a bad day.....
