Im beginning to research upgrading my VFR -9A to IFR and was wondering what people recommend and what path to take.
I'd like to keep it minimal and the type of conditions I would potentially get into would also be minimal (famous last words??).
I wouldn't intentionally fly into any serious IFR but would use my IFR certificated -9A to obtain my rating and give me that little extra piece of mind when flying out of MVFR conditions, hence the minimum instrumentation.
I've got a 696, a single Icom A200 (no nav) and basically standard six pack either via round gauges or via the d10.
So no redundancy unless required, whether smart or not, at this point im looking at only gathering information and determining equipment and budget. Once the minimum is determined I will then deal with redundancies.
thoughts?
