Thanks for the color input everyone, I guess I have some hard decisions to
make in that regard - Look sharp, or be seen!.
I fly in the Metro New York/ New Jersey area, and it is very congested,
there seams to be allot of people flying here either with their eyes on
something other than what's out the window, or they are blind and they are
using the Force poorly.
I came pretty close to a midair a while back and ever since I have been
flying with a Traffic-Scope in the rentals. I find it invaluable to helping
me to see and avoid other traffic. I also use Flight Following when I can.
For my Legacy I am planning on the Ryan/Avadyne TAS600 displayed on the
Chelton Sport.
That brings me to my next question:
At the speeds the Legacy is capable of and given the TAS600's 7nm range,
will it give me enough time to properly react?
TAS600–Recommended for entry-level, single-engine piston aircraft, the
TAS600
features a 7nm range, a 3,500-foot vertical separation maximum and
18,500-foot
service ceiling.
TAS610–Recommended for mid-performance aircraft and rotorcraft, the TAS610
features a 12nm range, a 3,500-foot vertical separation maximum and a
25,000-foot
service ceiling.
TAS620–Recommended for high-performance aircraft and rotorcraft, the TAS620
features a 21nm range, a 9,900-foot vertical separation maximum and a
55,000-foot
service ceiling.
