Panel Planner 101:Cessna Centurion IFR

摘要

This month's panel for planning is in a 1978 Cessna T210M. Its owner, Scott Dyer, has been making sizable incremental improvements to the airplane over 20 years of ownership, essentially putting it at the top of the model food chain. Dyer is anticipating that meticulous engine upkeep, a TKS anti-icing system, custom interior and paint and now a flagship Garmin avionics package will some day make the airplane an attractive top-dollar buy for the next owner. But until then, Dyer-an ATP and active flight instructor-plans to make good use of the near $90,000 investment with extensive, all-weather traveling, flying behind a suite that tames some of the IFR workload.
