I’ve grown tired of the 480 being maligned and ignored. It may be too late, but I want the 480 to get the posthumous recognition it justly deserves. So, the announcement by Garmin in December that it was discontinuing the 480 came as a real disappointment for me and other pilots flying with the 480. I feel a bit like Senator Claghorn, pausing to adjust the papers on the podium before raising my eyes to the gallery and in deep, mellifluous tones saying, “With deep respect for my colleague across the aisle, I rise in support of the Garmin GNS 480.” In the interest of full disclosure, I have to acknowledge that I’ve been a strong proponent of the 480 ever since I had one installed in the panel of my Cessna Cardinal.
