My Plane ...

As I mentioned before, my plane's name is 70L. It's a 1966 Cessna 172 and it's my first plane. It's in great shape, has good avionics and also an autopilot. Avionics are the instruments in the plane that help pilots navigate and communicate -- two very important things! 70L has two separate GPS-based navigation systems, one that is built into the plane and another that I bring onboard when I fly it.

The GPS that I bring on board the plane also has the ability to display live weather, so I can see what the weather is like up ahead as I'm flying. The autopilot is connected to the other GPS, the built-in one. If I want, I can plot a course on the GPS and have 70L fly it for me.
