GHEV's radios are a new experience. The Garmin 250XL Nav Comm will have to be learned. Print out the on line manuals and study them before you get to the aircraft. Otherwise you may use all your time trying to get the Comm working. I used the Quick Reference Guide as it is only a few pages and had no problem at all. There is a 2nd radio that will work without the Garmin Nav Comm. On the Audio panel, use only the bottom row of buttons as the top row is for the speaker only. There is a switch on the right side of the audio panel that also has to be on Comm 1 or Comm 2 to transmit. If this is not on properly you can listen but not transmit. There is no monitor feature like in HTD.
As the Airspeed is calculated in MPH, you will have to keep aware of your speeds. This is significant if you are familiar with HTD and try to fly as slow in MPH as HTD in Knots. Use the POH stall speeds and other speeds as required. Unfortunately both GPS’s indicate ground speed in knots. As we all have excellent situational awareness this won’t be a problem.
The POH and Garmin manuals for the 296 and 250XL are in the small container with the aircraft documents. Read them as needed but DO NOT remove from the aircraft. With permission you may take them to a location on the airport to be photocopied. Please call Lowell or Penny to ensure no one has booked the aircraft while you have the manuals out to copy.
Remember to use only mineral oil in the black containers for the first 50 hours.
