Altitude alerter
Hi all,
I've just been tripped up on discovering that my aircraft is supposed to be fitted with an Altitude alerter as it operates IFR above FL150. Somehow it doesn't have one currently fitted.
CAO20.18 requires that the alerter be demonstrated to CASA - how exactly does one achieve this? Some options ranging from cheap-ish to very pricey?
1. I have an ICARUS SAM GPSS which has an altitude alerter function already but I've been told it's gimmicky at best
2. Add a King KAS297 to the existing autopilot ($5k for the kit) - and I get alt preselect
3. Add a separate other alerter - Shadin have one I believe
4. Install an Aspen or Garmin G600 which have those functions inbuilt
5. Install a co-pilot to stare at the altimeter 100% of the time :-)
Thanks for any help
