Subject: Which Nav Indicator?
Posted: 18 Jan 2014 at 2:44pm
Have you tried flying with the KI-204 or KI-206? Maybe you'll prefer it to the GI-106.
My question had two parts - whether or not some indicators worked better with the IFD and which are preferred. The first part needed an answer from Avidyne and I've got that now - Thanks!
The second part comes down to preferences and money. The KI-209 is the least expensive. It would also mean that the indicator on the IFD and on the KX-155A would be of the same type. I don't know if that is a good thing or not - it depends on whether they would act the same. For example, if the plane is above the ILS, would the IFD and KX deflect the same amount? If not, then having them be different types might be best from a cognitive standpoint.
Since this is a preference thing my wife will get to make the final decision. I'm just going to provide her with as much information as I can. I'd be interested in the opinions of just about anyone who has flown with one or more of these indicators.
