Gen VI+ FLIR projected onto a HUD.

EGPWS with a terrain DB better than what Honeywell has already.

Both available, both doable.

A 600 pound gorilla with a 36 inch Mickey Mantle Slugger Baseball bat...to beat me silly whenever I consider losing sight of the ground.:rolleyes:

[Steve76]

We did this before....
But for the record: DeIcing Kit....

[Barannfin]

Well, without a doubt, a second head and a third hand.

But that raises new problems of its own. Who's pic?

For me - Weather Radar. (oh! and an autopilot for when it gets really busy.)

[S76Heavy]

A decent payload even after all the equipment has been fitted..

The IFR pilots best friend is:

1. AFCS/Autopilot
2. Garmin GNS 530/430 x 2
3. WX radar

I have this equipment installed in the B222 U that I fly and it works great.

It´d be fun to have TCAS and EGPWS system also!

[Bertie Thruster]

2 pilots

[Red Wine]

Three engines and an obedient Flight Director.......but one that won't show me up..........

[Devil 49]

1. Better lighting
2. HUD-especially single pilot
3. Better, smaller and cheaper, WX radar
4. Ice capability
5. Anything else that means less paper and more knowledge at hand, quickly.

[rightpedalRIGHTPEDAL]

SFIM, SCAS, Wx Radar, Rad Alt, GPS w/HSI slave, phaser and above all teleport chamber

[Max Contingency]

It may be low tech but I still swear by the cat and the duck!

;)

[Grisoni]

C A V U beats IFR any day.

How about a good reliable Hums system ?, interesting point on the old single twin debate , the cessna caravan enjoys such a good safety and reliability record in part due to diligent monitoring of the power plant.

How about true Cat A perfrmance in all flight regimes?????
