I've been wondering...


Watch it...

What underlying OS do the various glass panels (Avidyne, Garmin, etc.)
use? It might actually make me think twice about buying a particular
system if I knew that (for example) it was Windows underneath.


The MX20 has Embedded NT.

The GNS[4,5]30 has some Garmin specific stuff.

No idea about the rest.

I would think that the glass panel folks would be using one of the
real-time OS's that are designed for industrial applications, but I
don't know for a fact.


I suspect a surprising number of these MFDish things run NT...

While at least one MFD I know of runs NT, I would be shocked if
any PFD runs NT.
