Paul, Excellent presentation, I learned several good tips. In the presentation you mentioned that you now have a hand out LX tips available on your website. Could you point to where that is on your website. You also mentioned that LXNav has a ppt presentation. Could you [point to that as well. Many thanks, Dan

In the video it was stated that pilots should "avoid" turning the unit off "just like that" to "shut it down properly".
I know is a Linux-based system.
We tell our customers never to just unplug a Linux-based server... this is avionics... this is attached to the cockpit... shouldn't avionics allow this? I'm new to gliders but this is a bit scary. Will the thing just hung like many Linux servers who are improperly shutdown do? I expect more from avionics really.
I am misunderstanding something?

This is uncertified avionics, explicitly not to be used as a primary navigation source.

That said I usually just hit the master switch to no discernible ill effects yet.

ohhhh... non-certified.
Ok I'm trying to understand. we couldn't have anything "uncertified" in the panel of a C-152 ... lots to learn.
