Just look at the panel of any small certified EFIS equipped airplane. They all have a steam gage attitude gyro, altimeter, and ASI. Of course you could install one of those cute single instrument electronic standby gyros they install on the big iron, about 20k I think.

But I’m not flying yet…

Bert, if you are IMC and all you have is an EFIS for spatial orientation

and you lose it then most likely within a minute or two you will enter

uncontrolled flight and will soon be dead.



People...think about what you are doing.

Robert

I am flying my RV and I do agree with Neal's statement below.  I do have a 2 1/4 TruTrak ADI with a backup battery plus its own GPS and it works great. It is also nice to have a cross check to my OP Technologies EFIS GPS Tracking number. and that Tracking number on the TruTrak ADI .

I do have to admit that when I am flying the GPS Tracking Degree number on the TruTrak ADI , TruTrak Autopilot and the OP Technologies EFIS is seldom the match.  Don't know why but they are always a degree or two off.

Don't they teach "partial panel" anymore?
