March 14, 20197 yr Hi all, I'm getting started again after a long absence. I am a pilot wanabe but at 78 years old it's not likely. So I will take the next best thing. I fly G.A aircraft out of mostly small to medium airports. Right now my favorite plane is the Alabeo M20R ovation. I am using MegasceneryEarth, and have New Mexico, Ariz. and north and south Calif.. My home base is Las cruces NM and I have flown over parts of NM in small planes, as a passenger. I also used to live in Yuma, Ariz. and flew out of there, going to Phoenix and San Diego. I am impressed at how realistic the scenery is. Now all I have to do is learn to fly, use the radio and use the GNS 530. I have a long way to go. Unfortunately I don't have the time to fly as often as I would like.
March 14, 20197 yr Welcome Rod! Happy flying and Clear (virtual) skies to you.

March 15, 20197 yr The GNS 530 is a great piece of kit. If you haven't already I recommend using the Garmin trainer and reading the whole manual while practicing what you read. It's a pain to learn while actually flying! The power of that unit is amazing, although not as pretty as the later GTN 750 it's also less distracting. I have many happy memories using it installed in the Real Air planes. Welcome back! Russell Gough SE London
