400GJ had better FO side instruments than the other planes, but they still weren't worth much. I spent my time looking at the captain's side instruments to fly the planes. There was only one AHRS and it wasn't for my side.
Pictures from my first instrument training flight. My instrument instructor Brian and I practice BAI over the Berryville Practice Area west of Leesburg, VA while Erin took these photos from the backseat of our DA-40 aircraft, N392MA. Also at work was the Promote Systems GPS receiver for the Nikon D90 (More info here: http://lem.cc/7 )
A visit to an aviation museum isn't complete without a Link Trainer! A nice Naval Aircraft Factory N-3N-3 provides a fine background!
Harry Partch was an American composer, music theorist, and creator of musical instruments. He was also one of the first 20th-century composers in the West to work systematically with microtonal scales. He built custom-made instruments in these tunings on which to play his compositions, and described his theory and practice in his book "Genesis of a Music".
Back in the fall of 2013, I had the opportunity to visit the Partch Studio at Montclair State University in Montclair, NJ to take some photos of these fascinating instruments.
