I continue to get questions about the avionics in our Technologically Advanced Aircraft (TAA). Thanks to Mike Rogers for creating a special place within the BLOG section of the website.

When finished, push the small right knob in, and its back to controlling the co-pilot’s ICS volume.  Click on Read More to read more (can't be more clear than that).
