This GPS seminar discusses GPS operations as a whole, not just individual unit-specific functions. It's no longer about a GPS unit, it's about an entire operation that includes the pilot, ATC, Flight Service, etc. The pilot should not only use GPS as a supplemental means of navigation and situational awareness, but as a method to help manage the entire flight. The seminar will start with some brief compare/contrast of specific units and how technology has evolved, and then move into meaningful tips and advice for every phase of flight: Flight planning, preflight, departure, enroute and much more. We'll also discuss real-pilot "gotchas" that GPS users got themselves into due to lack of proper training, etc. You will not want to miss this seminar.  For additional information, please contact Carrie Gicante at (866) FLY-KCAC or visit www.aopa.org.

Kansas City Aviation Center (KCAC) and Universal Avionics announced a joint program to retrofit triple EFI-890R EFIS displays into the Pilatus PC-12 single-engine turboprop. The PC-12 has been the leading selling turboprop for the past few years and over 600 units have been sold worldwide. KCAC will hold the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for the installations.

The EFI-890R displays are 8.9-inch diagonal, high-resolution displays and will be fully integrated with the existing avionics in the PC-12. The displays offer advanced technology and display features such as Synthetic Vision, Aeronautical Charts, Up-linked weather, TAWS, Video and a host of other emerging applications. These features will modernize the cockpit to improve situational awareness and add to the overall safety of each flight.
