 |
|
Has anyone flown with a Dynon EFIS & Apollo GX60 (for IFR)? If so, is it
a reasonable combination? Is the HS34 required or advisable, and can the
Dynon serve as the CDI for approaches?
I'm not yet instrument rated & *if* I can get around to getting the
rating, I'll still be a big enough coward to only use it to get up
through and back down through a layer to good conditions. It's hard to
justify the money for a 430W when there's a good chance I'll never use
its real power, & GX60's can be had for a much more tolerable price.
Thanks for any insight,
Charlie

We have been flying with a Dynon D-10 and the Apollo GX55 for about 4 years now without any problems at all. Very stable platform for instrument approaches.
I hope that helps

Charlie,
Garmin is in essence no longer going to support for the GX 50/55/50/65
series. They are offering a $2000 trade-in on those units through the
end of the year for a 430W, etc.

Hmmm...
Thanks to everyone for their answers. This is starting to look like when
the surgeon came out & told the family, "The operation was a success,
but the patient died."
What does the discontinuation of support really mean? No repairs, no IFR
legal database updates, etc, or just no new software updates?
Thanks,
Charlie

There are no replacement display panels. When the panel dies the unit is
nothing but a spare parts unit. Garmin chose to not acquire any spares
beyond what they got when they bought the company.
