We\u00c2\u00a0departed to YVR with the recently upgraded Cessna 550 Citation Bravo with Brian as our Captain. The aircraft had had its traffic avoidance system upgraded to TCAS II, and flight management system upgraded to the latest WAAS FMS from Universal Avionics. It wasn&#8217;t a great day for flying but with an aircraft that well equipped we didn&#8217;t think twice. It was a 20 minute flight in the rain and we were in Richmond. The one comment from the crew as we exited was that the avionics were flawless!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Check out the flight from Pitt Meadows to YVR.\u00c2\u00a0 Click on the link below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/maxcraft.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/C550-to-YVR.avi\">C550 to YVR<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>On-line shopping<\/h2>\n<p>With great pictures, and easy navigation, our store is the way to go.\u00c2\u00a0 Shop and have delivered right to your\u00c2\u00a0door with no hassle.\u00c2\u00a0 Purchase flight instruments, portables, headsets and more.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Maxcraft On-Line Store\" href=\"http:\/\/www.maxcraftavionics.com\/Default.asp\" target=\"_blank\">Maxcraft On-Line Store\u00c2\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>\u00c2\u00a0Have you got yours?<\/h3>\n<p>With spring arriving quickly, its time to get your plane in gear.\u00c2\u00a0 Dust off the wings, give it a good bath and some fresh air.\u00c2\u00a0 Bring in a new handheld portable for your new flights!\u00c2\u00a0 Some of the\u00c2\u00a0great features on the Garmin Aera 796 are:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/maxcraft.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/aera796b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"aera796b\" src=\"http:\/\/maxcraft.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/aera796b-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"187\" height=\"187\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Big 7 inch hi-res touch screen<\/li>\n<li>3D view of database-generated terrain<\/li>\n<li>Portrait or landscape mode<\/li>\n<li>Qualifies for use as either a Class I or Class II Electronic Flight Bag (EFB)<\/li>\n<li>Geo-referenced IFR enroute charts &amp; VFR sectional charts pre-loaded<\/li>\n<li>Jeppesen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s chart upgrade ability (Garmin ChartView)<\/li>\n<li>Built -in digital document viewer<\/li>\n<li>Scratch pad \u00e2\u20ac\u201c path to a paperless cockpit!<\/li>\n<li>Added support for helicopter missions<\/li>\n<li>Garmin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s patented Panel Page<\/li>\n<li>Traffic compatible (GTX 330) or Zaon<\/li>\n<li>Safetaxi, Airport Directory for US and more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Interested, but not sure?\u00c2\u00a0 Come in, try it and take our demo flying. \u00c2\u00a0If you like it as much as we do, click on the on-line store and purchase yours today or\u00c2\u00a0call us for more details.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.maxcraft.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">Maxcraft Avionics<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0is a leader in airplane and helicopter avionic\u00c2\u00a0system upgrades like the Garmin GTN series, including installation of everything from a basic\u00c2\u00a0VHF\u00c2\u00a0Radio and simple Garmin portable GPS all the way to\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/maxcraft.ca\/index.php\/product-lines\">TCAS, EFIS,\u00c2\u00a0and autopilot\u00c2\u00a0systems<\/a>.
