REFLECTOR: Ready to fly

[Scott Baker]

Yep, I'm here.  Our newest demo aircraft has (4) GRT screens and (2) AHR 
systems.
I am looking forward to getting to know this equipment.  I've notices some 
(+) and (-) features/performance.
The folks at GRT came to the aircraft during OSH and offered to install the 
latest software, which they did to one of the units.  Bad decision. 
Pre-programmed displays/layout are gone.  Word of advise to all non-TSO EFIS 
owners (makes not difference what brand) ... do not accept any software 
"updates" unless you plan to a) have a tech rep nearby to fix glitches and 
b) be grounded until everything gets fixed.
