For those of you who have a Garmin 430/530, the "terrain awareness" update
is finally available. It's a free upgrade for units bought within about the
last 16 months or $200 for older units. I had mine upgraded last week. It
requires both a hardware and software change. So far, I have limited
experience with it but I think it works very well and is a huge improvement
in safety. Especially for IFR. It is smart and knows where the airports are
and what the flight profile/ altitude should be during each phase of the
approach/ landing. It warns me if I descend to quickly or get too low but
doesn't "cry wolf" every time I try to land like my 396 does. In fact, I
turn-off the terrain warnings on the 396 when landing because they scare th=
e
crap out of passengers every time I land. So, at the precise time when I
need it the most, it's not available (on the 396). Does anyone know how to
fix this problem on the 396? Anyway, the 430/530 is the the one I'm going t=
o
depend on. When it talks I'm going to listen!
