All of Walla Walla University's aircraft are well maintained and fully equipped with modern radio and navigation equipment. Our 172s are equipped with Garmin 430 WAAS IFR GPS further adding to the capability and safety of the flight in instrument and visual conditions.
Beechcraft Duchess
The Beechcraft Duchess is a multi-engine aircraft that you will train in to learn the differences between operating a single-engine and multi-engine aircraft. Our Duchess is equipped with Garmin avionics, including the GNS-530 and GNS 430 WAAS IFR GPS units, the GTX 330 Mode S Transponder with traffic alert, and a Century III Autopilot for advanced systems training.
