Helen Nothing wrong with composites, IMO, but multi function glass panels are not yet my cup of tea. Why? Too many eggs in one basket. If any of those things go bad, you've gotta pull out the whole thing and send it back to the factory. Depending on the repair backlog, there is no telling how long the airplane will be grounded. With steam gauges, there are quite a few in my panel that I could legally fly without. Also, I could get a replacement for any steam gauge in my panel 24 hours, which means I'm not going to be grounded for days or weeks waiting on replacement parts. KB

You still cannot go 'only GPS'.

George,
Her tactic is called risk-minimization. Well, it might be a try at that. But I can't see where she is examining and judging the risks in a rational manner. So I'd call it acting on prejudice. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)

Blueskies,
It is interesting that GPS only IFR is not approved... No, it's logical in terms of risk-minimization. Avoidong glass panels isn't. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)
