    How important is switching to Apple OS?

    If a Kuru Toga is not to your liking, I do fancy a rOtring 600 or 800 as well. I have yet to try one, but I've also heard good things about the Kaweco Special. https://www.rotring.com/pens-pencils/pencils/rotring-600-mechanical-pencil-1/SAP_1904443.html

    Sunrise/sunset, I get that. That you need to get tour tickets to do most of the interesting things inside the park kinda makes the opening/closing times somewhat moot.

    How important is switching to Apple OS?

    For the cockpit I prefer the uni-ball 207. Fully retractable tip for durability, 0.7mm lead for less breakage and the twist out eraser is more compact which I find better for tight spaces. One-piece frame also means less chance of a mishap when bounced around. Also available are matching pens...

    Step 1 in modernizing my panel

    The Garmin 375 has active traffic. If something gets close, it says "Traffic X o'clock low/high, Y miles" and then displays it on the screen.

    Buy Me Some Peanuts And Cracker Jacks

    It's not more convenient than using a credit card. But it is more convenient than using a stack of credit cards, concert tickets, boarding passes, etc. It's also one less thing to carry. Furthermore, it is more secure because it can't be used without biometric authentication and can be remotely...

    when you don't have your maint. logs with you?

    I hope you keep an optical disk drive in the airplane as well, lest you hand someone a CD/DVD and they say "what do I do with this ?"

    KN53 troubleshooting

    As far as parts, maybe you can harvest a display from a KY197 or similar. As for skills, they're still out there but dwindling.

    Position of Autopilot control

    The Cessna factory had it as: * Audio panel * GPS * NAV/COM * NAV/COM * Transponder * Autopilot ...for so long on so many planes that someone is bound to complain that you got it backwards. EDIT: Seems most sims are set up that way too.

    Position of Autopilot control

    I'm guessing it's got a NAV converter and runs off of a composite interface rather than a resolver. I'd dump it fly the HSI.
