Avionics

Alpha Yankee has been used primarily as a VFR tourer during our ownership. However the avionics fit is suitable for more adventurous touring.

Our main instrument is a Garmin GNS 530. It's sophisticated moving map display is combined with both radio and an ILS/VOR display

We have a King KR85 ADF

A Garmin GTX328 mode 'S' transponder

A Garmin GMA 340 audio panel incorporating a 4 place intercom

A King KN64 DME

A secondary 'hard number' standby radio incorporating a nav unit slaved to a VOR indicator.

and finally a Trafficscope unit alerting the pilot to nearby transponder equipped aircraft.
