I'm not among them.

They don't want everything
dependent on a single electrical system.

Then have two.

The new Cessna Nav III package for 182s and 206s will be available
in March. It will have the Garmin G1000 PFD and MFD displays.
Vacuum instruments running off dual vacuum pumps will be located
underneath the displays.

What a great combination. I love Skylanes and and gadgets.

And the Nav III package even gives you two electrical systems, just like you
want.

Two electrical systems, two vacuum systems, redundancy in everything except
engines and airframes.

I have heard that Cessna sold out 2004 withing 24 hrs of the G1000
announcement.

Wow.

If you have smoke in the cockpit, you'll have to turn them both off.


All the best,

Good point. I'd *still* rather have two electrical systems than one
electrical and one vacuum.

When you are IMC with smoke in your cockpit, how do you know which
electrical system to shut down?

You shut down both of them and wait for the smoke to clear. Then you
cautiously turn them on one at a time and see which one produces smoke.

You shut down both of them and wait for the smoke to clear. Then you
cautiously turn them on one at a time and see which one produces smoke.

Or your observe your panel status lights to determine which is having bus
problems, then shutdown the inop one.

You *must* figure out the problem from your panel indicators (or
something like that). If you are in IMC in an all-electric airplane and
you turn off all your electrical systems, your NTSB report will at least
be interesting.
