Airborne Traffic Alerting: TIS Still the One to BeatWhile the FAA won’t expand it, Mode-S traffic alerting from Garmin and Bendix/King is the top value in panel-mount gear. Skywatch is the high-budget choice. Are You Wasting Avgas? Probably. But at $5 a gallon, you might want to consider an even dozen ways to reduce fuel-related costs of flying. Carbon Monoxide Alarms: CO Experts is a Top Value And so is the Pocket CO from TTI. SafeTest 90 portable is the best of the best, if budget is no factor. We like the panel-mount Guardians but they lack low-level sensing. WSI vs. Garmin: Customers in the Middle If you bought a WSI weatherlink box for your MX20, don’t count on advanced weather features. Both Garmin and WSI say what you see now is what you get. The Camshaft Coin Flip When specing an overhaul, you’ll need to do something with the cam. But here’s why a new one isn’t always the best choice. Pulse Oximeter Flyoff: Check Mate Prevails Nonin’s FlightStat is easier to use and read, but it costs $100 more and we were put off by the company’s high repair costs. Piper Archer The PA-28-180 series is one of the most enduring GA designs. It’s a bit faster than a Skyhawk and carries more load, making it an ideal budget family airplane. |
