I would trade the 430 for a nice new IFD 440. It's a much nicer unit with a lot of features the gns doesn't have.

Fly out to N40 Sky manor airport and use Adventures aviation. It's less than 20 miles from you and they are a really good shop.

I replaced my gns 530 with an ifs 550 2 years ago. The IFD is a great unit with the FMS and synthetic vision. The usage gets easier with every flight.

Yes I always sync my heading bug on my Aspen to the current heading. If ATC gives me a heading change I first turn the heading bug to the new heading given then I hit heading on the AP. It's easier and you can then just watch the airplane turn at 15 degrees instead of turning the knob while...

I had my aspen updated 2 years ago to the max unit. It's a lot better with a zillion pixels and faster refresh rate.It also plays really well with the Stec3100.

Call Bob Weber autopilot consultant in Michigan.

Ed's a good guy. I know him from he and I based our airplanes at Princeton all those years ago. I believe he's recovered well.

I do this all the time. From the north go to 6500 from the south I go to 5500 and they let you in everytime. They are busy and quick on the radio. Listen carefully and reply quickly. Have fun.

I have the Aspen Pro Max with the RC Allen 3 inch back up and took my vacuum system out. It's all you need as the RC has a back up battery and is cheaper. The Aspen max is reliable so I wouldn't go over board on the back up thing. You'll be fine.

I walked from the Garmin building at OSH this year and went through bendix king on the way to the A hanger. The Garmin building was so crowded you couldn't move. Not one customer in the BK building. Not one! Enough said.

Just order them on spruce. They will come in a reasonable time frame. That's what I did otherwise you'll never get one if you keep waiting for them to become available.

I went to the 550. LOVE IT!

Keep the 440. I have an IFD 550 in my aircraft and it is incredible. Get the I-pad app and learn it as you will come to like it and it's ease of use. There will be no home key pushing to get back to a place you forgot how to get back to.

I would think it backs up any certified AI HIS set up. Ask your avionics guy.

I put one in a few months ago so I could take my vacuum system out. I saved 24 lbs for anyone interested in doing the same.

I have one and I can say it is the best! I have the 8000BT. So great when paired to my phone for an IFR clearance.

I have an Aspen PFD and just had the vacuum system removed completely with the installation of the RC Allen 2610-3. That is your best bet. $2795.00 from Spruce.

I landed just after that happened.

AirParts Of Lockhaven is a good company. Nice people and prices too.
