Amen to all that! I wouldnt even consider such a hop without a complete
working knowledge of my GPS's. such that u dont even need to look nuttin
up in manual... u know it cold. add in ur legs or go route to route...
but do ur Go To's... and fly the line. I'd each have 2 gps's... i
wouldnt make the trip with one GPS... also, u should know ur radios cold
so u can also get Wx along route etc. and... id have a complete set of
hand signals to communicate with each other if one looses a radio.
well, no doubt any body planning such a hop has it well thot out...

Arty,
One of the things I would highly recommend is making sure you are
thoroughly familiar with your GPS. I would assume you have a GPS. Get the
latest update, find the quick instruction pamphlet
and practice a bunch.
As I told you the last time you asked for advice, I just flew from near
Sacramento, south to Tahachapi, then west past Las Vegas, on to SW
Utah....my new home. I had the luxury of being able to spend a full week,
day and night, preparing.
I studied charts (sectionals), the weather, renewed my pilot license, new
medical, and without a doubt, one of best advantages was practicing night
after night with my Garmin 296.
Give me a call. I guarantee I can give you a couple of "tricks" to make
your navigating a heckuva lot more easy. Mike Welch
