Buyers might get excited when they see dual G5s in your 50-year-old airplane, but they’re not likely ready to pay you extra for something that they will see as frivolous. It’s not a part of a realistic upgrade budget for these airplanes and frankly does little to contribute to this kind of flying.


If you’re flying an older Cessna 172 and your mission is VFR or even light IFR (20% IFR), you shouldn’t, in my opinion, be spending much time here. However, if you read my Perfect Panel series on VFR, Light IFR, and True IFR in the February, March, and April issues, you should know that there’s a place for this technology. We have previously discussed the latest in EFIS technology.
