    Upgrading Saratoga panel

    At 6 weeks all work was done minus the PlaneSync and wing tip LED addition. I paid up front for all equipment and wanted it in, bench tested and techs ready to work on it. It would have been done at 7 weeks if the G500s were ordered and in.

    Neal Aviation in El Cajon. Their director emailed me right now and deeply apologized, took responsibility and point blank said he has no idea why the screen were not ordered and he should have caught that.

Got the call this week about $750 landing fee and the economy car I usually rent for $35 a day is $300. No thanks, I’ll fly into my lake house at KIFP...

    When I depart VFR I don’t program in an approach to the gps so pushing the TOGA switch would do nothing for me. Pushing the TOGA switch does not immediately co trip the pitch.
