Nice to have, I guess. There are other things Id want first.

Great to have; damned expensive. If you get one, I highly recommend an
S-TEC because they work off the TC; great help if you lose your vacuum
pump.

Nah.

If you mean approach-certified, its a must when you get your instrument
rating, IMO. J. A. Air Center occasionally has deals on refurbd
Garmins. Before you buy one, be sure to check with your avionics shop to
see what itll cost to install it.
Id put the GPS at the top of the list.

> 5. Engine analyzer

Not a must, but Id hate to be without mine. Be on the lookout for a
used GEM 602 if you want to keep the cost down.
