I love our airplane. It's a fast and big machine and it feels like a time machine. It saves us a lot of time at least. Our working plane is the Piper Cherokee 180. Jeff us installalling Narco 122 NAV Radio.
This radio is for IFR (instrument flight rules) navigation and approaches.
This is a technical explanation to define the type of airplane radio that will enable us to fly in cloudy or foggy conditions.
He was able to purchase two radios for the price of one from another pilot friend who was upgrading his friend who was getting a glass panel installed in his airplane.
This radio will give us a lot more freedom to fly because before we could only fly VFR (visual flight rules). He had to be able to visually see, and could not fly in the clouds.
To define this personally, we drove three and a half hours to visit friends in Canada Friday. The same trip from our local airport to Welland, Ontario is thirty-four minutes.
Jeff needs to complete ten hours with a flight instructor to get his IFR currency back to enable him to fly with the new radio. Once this is complete, we have our time machine back!
I took this picture on our first plane date in 2017 in front of the Italian restaurant.
