You see I wouldn't be putting in a 430 or like if it was a VFR only machine.
Also if its a single radio machine I wouldn't want to be powering up a Gx30 with all the time it takes just to get the ATIS and then the drain on the battery if I had an alt failure.
Also is a high priced bit of kit in a relatively easy to get into cockpit.
Never mind the garmins updates cost a fortune.
I would though have a garmin basic flip flop with the standby monitoring. Is it a SL30? Is it even EASA approved?
There mode S is nice with the punch numbers onlong the bottom. Better than the turn and fiddle with the two knob transponders.
The GPS I would have a yoke or fixed mount with aircraft power so I could remove it home to do updates and or upload routes/ keep it safe and only take it when I wanted it.
