Spring is in the air!
How can you tell?  The obvious signs.  There is  a buzz overhead and it’s the aircraft coming out of their winter hangars and  spreading their wings in the sun.  Our hangar is busy with many aircraft being upgraded, maintained and re-certified for the new flying year to come.  Now is the time for that overhaul and/or  annual and a perfect time to install the new avionics you always wanted.
Citabria
Citabria panel
With different types of aircraft coming in, the Citabria was an adorable plane to see in our hangar. Â It had been in our hangar last year, but this year I got to get a closer look. Â We installed a SL30 which is compact yet includes a 760 channel VHF comm, DME display, built-in course deviation indicator and more. Â The owner/pilot also put his new acquired toy, the Garmin Aera 796 into the cockpit.
Cessna 172
We also had another repeat customer pop in with his Cessna 172.  With an already perfect panel (that we did last year) he decided to add the  S-TEC30 autopilot to his aircraft. It is designed to provide an economical solution for aircraft owners who need Altitude Hold, but don’t want the additional functions of pitch command  or vertical speed control.  It smoothly holds existing altitude and can be activated during climb or descent.
