Hey guys! Its been a little while since I have really exercised all my PPL skills on a regular basis! This of course is due to MONEY and Time constraints as I've been finishing college! Now that I'm done, its time to get back in the cockpit and begin sharpening back up so I can continue on with my training. I specifically am putting an emphasis on getting my full proficiency back to the levels of when I went to my DPE for my checkride! I want to do this because I plan on doing the 90 Day ATP program and I don't want to be behind the learning curve already on day one. Secondly, I will need the cross country hours to gain entrance as I believe there is a minimum time requirement before being allowed to begin.

Anyway! Since I don't have any GPS (Glass Panel) unit experience.. I am considering renting an Alarus CH2000 to get all my "resharpening" in... it is outfitted with a Garmin 430 and I can rent it from my local FBO for a wet rate of $104/hr..... what does anyone think about that scenario for me? Do you have any experience with the little Alarus? All of my training and PPL time has been almost exclusively in a C-150 but I have a little DA-20 experience as well.

Fly Safe!
