I?ve been flying for almost 40 years but have never gotten completely comfortable with the prospect of mentally jumping back and forth between knots and miles per hour. My preference has been to configure everthing in my homebuilts in statute miles per hour. Intrinsically simpler, direct crossover from driving, ego boost of bigger numbers, and so on.
Now I?m installing an all-Garmin IFR panel in my 7A- 10? G3X Touch, G5 backup, GTN 750, 507 autopilot with Garmin servos, GTX345, GNS245 panel mount, and assorted remote devices. I plan on regaining currency of my long held but little used IFR rating and getting very comfortable with all the precision GPS proceedures coming available.
With this fresh start, I have to decide between configuring this whole package in KTS or MPH. Any thoughts or opinions from seasoned IFR RV flyers out there would be appreciated. I appreciate that ATC speaks KTS, so pretty much anticipate a lot of sentiment toward that choice, but still curious what others have to say. Thanks in advance- Otis
