What you get with a real FMS is a whole host of functions that the G1000
can't even contemplate -- sophisticated vertical nav options, take-off and
landing performance calculations, etc. Those features won't be obsoleted by
a new nav sensor.

I agree with Karl, no comparison.


I'm not arguing. I just don't understand.

The takeoff and landing calculations seem nice, but not worth zillions
of dollars.
What sophisticated vertical nav functions does a real FM Shave that a
Garmin does not? What's the "needed feature" that's worth an extra
zillion dollars?

P.S. Anyone know the price difference between a Garmin and a Collins
Pro Line?
