He was running the Advanced Flight Systems EFIS. It is solid state internal gyros with 1 hour of internal battery backup. no vacuum. Plus it records ALL data for the flight. So he was able to go back after he landed and look at what happened and when. The AFS system is really sweet.
The map system shows all private use airports as well, the Garmin maps do not. And as you increase the map display range it declutters as needed.

I realize that the 569JC discussion is over on VAF but I'd like to ask a question I just realized I don't have a clue about...
If you lose your engine and the prop is windmilling, does your vacuum pump still generate enough suck to power the gyros? Or does the horizon just slowly fall over? (assuming you have vac powered gyros)
Thanks,
Bill

Nick, really, really nice job piloting (period).
Sitting in the virtual cockpit with you, I'm imagining that it must be nice not having to transition off a vacuum powered anything when you lost power. And the situational awareness of the glass has to be sweet.
Would be curious to hear any thoughts of why there wasn't a fire.
