Hello everyone. I retired from Delta in September after 27 years of service. I knew I couldn't quit flying just because I wasn't doing it for living anymore so I began thinking about purchasing an airplane. I had worked for Chaparral Beechcraft in Dallas in the early 80's, and had always wanted to own a Beechcraft. At first I looked at Barons, but realistically I setteled on a Bonanza.

With the help of Darryl White (Beechcraft Buyers) I purchased a 1983 A36 Bonanza. So far it has been a blast! I look forward to many years ahead travelling and making new friends.

If someone will tell me how to post pictures on here, I will post some of my new bird.

I must admit after being out of GA for the last 30 years, I was very surprised at the advancements in avionics and engine monitoring equipment.

Dan,

Welcome to BT.

That sure is a grand entrance with a very nice A36 that appears to have a great panel.

My brother in law flies for American. He is also amazed at the advanced state of technology available to GA pilots.

Wade,

I have flown Boeing and Airbus FMS. Now I am trying to learn the Garmin, lol. I hate to read manuals, so I wish I could find a great video tutorial.

Being a computer geek I never read the glass panel manuals. :D
I know Gleis, Sporty's and King all have Garmin instructional videos. No idea of quality or price...

Dan,
If you go to Garmin web site, there is actually a G600 simulator. I have been playing with it lately and I feel like I am learning the system pretty well. By the time I have the G500 installed in my plane (in ? years), I will be an old pro. As for manual, G5/600 does have a manual. Here is the link: http://static.garmincdn.com/pumac/190-0 ... 0E_Web.pdf .
If you really hate manuals, then go to the Garmin Youtube channel. There are numerous tutorials, exploring many aspects of the Garmin G5/600 EFIS. Search Youtube for "Garmin G500 tutorial"

Jack,

No, I came to Delta through the merger. Delta was awesome to work for. In September they offered an early out that I couldn't pass up. I miss flying for Delta, but I don't miss the commuting!

I was part of the mass exodus in 2004. I thought I was retiring 5 years early but, as it turned out, I retired 10 years early! You'll love this forum. It has a hell of a lot of information. Nice looking A36. Do you have a 550 or 520?
