Hi there,
I have about 150 hours over the past 2 years in my Piper Dakota and I have my checkride coming up in about 2 months.
Can anyone offer suggestions as to what this antenna is (the one that looks like a transponder with a bent wire coming out of it)?
Other identified antennas (not pictured) are Com1 & Com 2 (on the top), ELT (on top towards the tail..above where the ELT is housed), GPS (roof above the front seats), Transponder / DME (seen in the background) and a marker beacon towards the rear under the plane.
From looking at AircraftSpruce it looks like the RAMI AV-17 COM antenna, which they say is a "communications antenna" but for what?
Also attached is a photo of my instrument panel. I have a Garmin 430w, a JPI 830 engine monitor, Garmin GTX 345 Transponder, Century 2000 autopilot and the other customary stuff.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
