Nexrad on the G1000!

What a different cockpit when you have NEXRAD weather in the cockpit.  Niner niner five would never have left KGNV without this new tool and a prediction that weather was dissipating and moving west.

See http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N65995 to see this flight and for more live tracking.

ADS-B all good!

New avionics are in and working in the cockpit and outside.  ADS-B all validated by FAA!

Picture above shows the thirty minute VFR flight in rule airspace that validated everything.  This is a screen shot of flightaware.com.  Note that Niner niner five was at 900 feet watching the storms very closely in case the red area grew larger or moved southeast.  Then an immediate dive to a runway would have been prudent.
