AOPA Announces CAP News Before CAP Does

Nice URL title.

Just because AOPA scheduled their publication for a different time that CAP did is not prima facia evidence that the marketing folks aren't on the ball.

This is interesting - do our aircraft come from the factory with the GDL 69 receiver to support this with the G1000? Or is this going to be retrofit program? Or are we talking about having portable receivers with EFB integration?

I believe Many wings paid for it after the fact but it wasn't covered by NHq after the trail ended
