These pilots are both highly skilled and experienced, and you might be curious to see what they have to say about how they got their aircraft up to the standard they are. This article will give you the lowdown on their aircraft and the Avidyne upgrade.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mike_Patey\"><\/span>Mike Patey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Cessna 310 is a low-wing twin-engine monoplane that seats six. Its fuel consumption is about 28 gallons per hour and would cost about $112 per hour to operate. The 310 pilot has a side gig as a freelancer for a local Part 135 charter operator. He has a YouTube audience of over 100,000 people. You can check out more of his videos by clicking on his channel name.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kevin_Thornton\"><\/span>Kevin Thornton<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are looking to buy an airplane, you should know that it is a difficult process. You don&#8217;t want to get stuck in a salesperson&#8217;s office for days on end, and you don&#8217;t want to end up with a plane you don&#8217;t like. That&#8217;s why Kevin Thornton started a popular YouTube channel, the 310 Pilot. In his videos, he demonstrates his methods and gives tips to pilots who want to purchase an airplane.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cessna_310\"><\/span>Cessna 310<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A popular Cessna 310 pilot on YouTube is Kevin Thornton. Kevin flies a 1973 Cessna 310 regularly and has a popular YouTube channel. The 310 is an iconic general aviation aircraft that was sold from 1954 to 1980. Kevin&#8217;s 310 features the newest computerized pilot aids and many of the round gauges have been replaced with flat displays. Follow Kevin on YouTube to learn about this classic aircraft and learn how to fly it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avidyne_upgrade\"><\/span>Avidyne upgrade<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>An Avidyne upgrade can be the right thing for you if your current flight displays and instrument panel aren&#8217;t performing up to par. Avidyne offers a variety of panel-mounted IFDs, as well as AMX240 audio panels, and dzus-mount flight management systems (FMS). Aside from the avionics system, you&#8217;ll also receive complete support for the NextGen ATC surveillance upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>The company claims that over 4,000 Cirrus piston-singles will benefit from the Vantage. The aircraft will feature a 12-inch touchscreen and the company&#8217;s hybrid touch interface. Avidyne&#8217;s DFC autopilot is also expected to integrate with the Avidyne system. The new cockpit is expected to arrive in 2022. If you have your heart set on the Avidyne upgrade, make sure you keep your eyes open for updates.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"201\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dIUwHDyAKZE\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is the 310 Pilot on YouTube?
