My hearty thanks for posting the pix, 212man. You undoubtedly have a panel with some significant situational awareness. The best part is that it is well integrated right there on a screen in front of you - none of the "lets mount the display on some unused real-estate", like the wizards that mount a map GPS on the lower console almost behind the pilots.

Three quick questions:

The symbols on your EGPWS, the circles with the four points and names like ANAS and BUZZ, are they user waypoints, what do they represent, and how have you entered them or control them?

Your active track looks to be a magenta color. If you have a multiple leg flight plan, is only the active leg in magenta or the whole thing? How do you know looking at the screen what leg of the flight plan your FMS is coupled to?

On the radar picture (right screen) the S92 shows an arc display with a single intermediate range ring. Can you get multiple range rings to display at the same time or just the one? I see the EGPWS shows 5 range rings.

Those of us still flying without an HSI are putting these pictures under our pillows and making a wish. Send us another one of an ARA approach if you get a chance.
