prolly because the GPS is much much more accurate and the ADF has crappy range. Why would you need an ADF to tell you when you are over an approach point or tell you how to get to an airport when you have a GPS that's 10 times better?

I am going to ferry some new 182s and 172s to Europe, once JAR approves the Garmin 1000 system in those planes. Its been an ongoing thing for 4 months, with people having bought and paid for those planes, but cessna cant release them until everything is certified in europe.

Just got back home from ferrying a new warrior across the pond. Mine wasnt equipped as good as some of the others are. The archer that also made the trip, had glass avidyne system with autopilot, etc. I just had single nav/comm/gps (430), no autopilot. Wasnt too bad, although hand flying a warrior for 13 hours from st johns to iceland was an experience.

I'd suppose these panels permit even MORE time to look out the window. In fact I don't suppose, I know from experience.

I've actually found that my eyes are usually inside instead of outside (I'm working on that one)


We also have 2 G-1000's here in FSD, a 182 and a 172. The "newer" 172 has the capability for 2 RMI needles within the HSI, while the "older" 182 does not (HSI only). I heard that with the new software upgrade, it will install the RMI needles onto the HSI. This is real nice, since a person must flip (manually) between NAV 1 &2 and GPS to get a cross radial fix. Also, when flipping the OBS, you lose the autopilot too. Of course, the RMI's eliminate that little bug.
