A pilot looking to purchase an audio panel, nav/com radio, and transponder in 1971 would have had to spend twice what wed have to spend today for the closest equivalents from Garmin. Image: FLYING] Id like to see a modern, general aviation version of “Back to the Future.”

For many general aviation pilots, the Piper Arrow occupies an important spot in aircraft evolutioncomplex enough to challenge and reward but accessible enough to own and operate without a second mortgage. Navigation and weather awareness are enhanced with a Narco 810, VOR with CDI, Garmin 496, and stormscope.

These required inspections are vitally important to the safe operation of general aviation aircraft, so even student pilots are required to know the basics to pass a Private Pilot checkride. There are a few exceptions when the aircraft can be flown outside of this timeframe, such as when a special flight permit is issued.

I was trained and prepared to solo but did not have to take a written quiz, talk on the radio, know what a transponder was, or deal with a lot of aircraft systems knowledge. We navigated using pilotage and occasionally a VOR. Have you ever seen those power outlet plugs in an airplane cockpit that we plug our iPads into?

Among General Aviation pilots, there was great fear that private aircraft would be permanently barred from controlled airspace, particularly around the epicenters of those attacks in New York City and Washington DC. Although 9/11 marked the weaponization of commercial aircraft, the aftereffects are felt most keenly by General Aviation.

Keeping jet traffic safe alongside slower general aviation aircraft is harder still. All aircraft inside the veil must have an operating Mode C transponder and ADS-B Out. A Mode-C transponder (automatic altitude reporting capability) inside the Mode C Veil. That’s a considerable detour for small general aviation aircraft.
