Gabon is on the west coast of Central Africa. I wouldn't be relying on traditional nav aids up there if i didn't have too. And not all the saabs have GPS or FMS built into them. Flying these things in Northern Canada is the same. we have a back up Garmin..why wouldn't you is a better question

@haitiano1982 Agreed. i wont bitch if they carry backup. id feel far safer

[haitiano1982]

as a pilot i always travel with my personal gps receiver around. while im flying a plance with 2x highly sophisticated gps systems.

its my personal backup system, and if they want to put theirs on the dash.. PROPS!

So? It's only used as a secondary reference. No point going expensive in the regional commuter business.

like how this is an airline quality plane with a garmin strapped to the dash

Très intéressante. On voit bien le travail qu'il y a entre le train, le réglage du pas, du compensateur et du régime moteur, la remontée des volets...et le suivi de la SID.

Reminds me of the good old days flying the SF-340 at BEX. Wonder if that is one of our old birds. Most of our birds were exported after AE bought us out in 1999.

7000 thousands hours in those beauties and I still gets me a woodrow when that I see that CTOT engaged

[ewmegoolies]

Is that a TomTom on the dashboard?
