My 400 is still working very well, but I know it is very beyond its life limit and doesn't have a lot of features like "flying by" a fix or yaw damper. It does fly a very precise ILS or LPV and is as...

In my part of the country, the problem is that flight schools don't own a twin anymore. Several list them on their websites, but when you contact them, they don't offer them anymore.

I will add that if contaminates ended up in my fuel tanks, I sure would buy that funnel to drain the fuel through.

One tip I've always held...
