I've decided to bring my 1977 Piper Turbo Arrow’s panel into the 21st century. In this episode, I’m flying India Victor to Turweston aerodrome for a long-overdue avionics upgrade. But what exactly am I having fitted and how much is it all going to cost?
In this video, I'll talk your through my upgrade plan, my reasoning behind the equipment choices, and why I'm doing it in stages.
On this day, the wind was howling and I landed with powerful crosswind - watch how I manage that!
