Avionics have come a long way over the last 15 years.\xa0 Unfortunately, there are many pilots that have bought new avionics, but know little more than how to press the "Direct To" button.\xa0 By understanding the nuances or tips and tricks of getting more out of these devices, a pilot will discover how it can lessen the workload, mitigate risk, and create better outcomes.\xa0 Luckily our own Marc Epner is an expert at using the technology found in today's technically advanced aircraft.\xa0 Listen in as Marc discusses some of the best practices in getting the most out of your audio panel, transponder, and GPS/Nav/Com.
\nMarc also brought us up to speed on the continuing Drone conversation, the FAA's warning to understand what important sounds your noise canceling headset may be preventing you from hearing, and\xa0the notable demise of a well known headset manufacturer.\xa0 Plus, he took a slight turn to share his view of the items that should be covered in a safety briefing and what items a pinch hitter really needs to know.
\nThanks for listening.
