I'm trying to understand how capable the new breed of integrated
avionics suites are (Aviyne Eclipse, Garmin G1000), and read somewhere that although these systems are very capable, they don't have the "mission capabilities" of a Proline 21. I.e., the Eclipse and Garmin systems are ok for recreational flights but can't ever be used for regular commercial service. After looking at the functions of these systems, I can't understand why this would be so? Would appreciate any input on what the Proline 21 offers that the less expensive systems don't.... In the versions for single piston engine planes, both the Avidyne Entegra and Garmin G1000 are lacking the full FMS and aircraft systems monitoring. The versions for the Eclipse and Mustang will be as capable as those in any other small business jet. What do you think you mean by 'regular commercial service' ? Neither of these systems are marketed at part 121 aircraft. |
