Need some guidance on GRT upgrade
I currently have two by Horizon WS units and they’re perfectly functionable. My Maps/GPS is AVMap which drives the Trio Autopilot but it’s old school and time consuming to set up so I use my iPad SkyDemon for simplicity.
I was thinking of upgrading one WS screen to Horizon HS cost $2400 + $495 for ARINC, and for that I would gain Synthetic Vision and split screen, but because I’m in Europe, would also have an annual Jeppesen subscription charge for the GPS.
Alternatively, I could leave the two WS screens as they are, remove the AVMap and replace it with a Garmin Aera 760, that way I get Synthetic Vision, backup AHRS and GPS which will drive the Trio, without the cost of the Jeppesen Subscription, all at a cost of $1400!
Interested in thoughts and suggestions?
Thanks
