More upgrades coming this summer!

published by Dan Murrie on Mon, 04/22/2013 - 15:26

Our members were all very impressed with the new interior that was installed in the Archer a couple years ago and now it is time to give 34C the same treatment. Brand new wall panels, carpeting, and seat upholstery have been ordered and will be installed later this summer once the parts come in. This will greatly improve the appearance and comfort of our newest plane.

If you're like me, you are tired of replacing landing lights before your flight. The board decided to replace all of the halogen landing lights with LEDs to improve reliability and reduce the power requirements. This will be happening in the coming weeks and should be a nice improvement as well.

At the annual membership meeting held on 1/26, the members in attendance voted unanimously to allocate existing funds to avionics upgrades for the fleet. All upgrades are being completed without any increase in the hourly rental rates or the monthly dues.

Arrow 32195 was just upgraded with a new PMA8000BT audio panel and the latest Garmin GTN650 WAAS touchscreen GPS. Archer 3006K also received its new GTN650 and is ready for some IFR conditions.
