Time machine

Editor in Chief Thomas B. Haines is the proud owner of a Beech A36 Bonanza, but every pilot needs to try out other aircraft, right? Haines first flew the Piper Meridian in August when the aircraft was outfitted with the Garmin G1000. Did he fall for the Meridian? Guess so, because he recently took loan of a Meridian and flew it on a long cross-country illustrating the turboprop’s long-range legs. Fly along with Haines as he learns the G1000 in this online video.
