Agree. I misunderstood your previous statement a bit. It's pretty obvious to anyone that there is no way to electrify the "3rd" world transportation. As far as I'm concerned, all this electrification effort will not put a dent into climate change even if 100% successful. That's not going to...

Sure. It’s also the same countries that produce all the vehicles in the world. So unless 3rd world countries start making and exporting cars/planes, not sure it makes any difference EV(of any kind) might never become as usable as ICE, but they don’t have to. They just have to become usable...

This is all true. However, today and in near future, the oil powered propulsion is under a regulatory hammer. So you can make the case that it is no longer easier to do. Hence a lot of development in the electric propulsion. Is it going to succeed in replacing all forms of oil powered...

He didn't invent it. Just introduced it to and perfected(in a specific way) it for Model T manufacturing

Capacitive touch buttons in a car are basically an automatic deal breaker for me. I'm fine with touch screens. Cars(if the most common things have real buttons) or planes. GTN750 in particular is fine to use for me and is more intuitive than G1000.

of course, it's not an issue for cars unless they are race cars(hence Porsche made sure they don't have that problem at expense of some range). But it is definitely an issue for an aircraft application

There is something that should probably be added to this discussion. Teslas(the range/battery leader) cannot sustain peak power for long at all. Few 1/4 mile runs and the car will lower it's power output significantly due to thermal issues. That's what? Less than a minute at full power...

if I was in the market for G2/3(aren't all G3s Perspective? I forgot when they switched) Cirrus and Avidyne were selling for hundred thousand less then Perspective and was not worrying too much about selling it soon, I'd buy Avidyne. First, I like it better. Second, you put GTN750 and nice...

Aren't all G1000 Cirruses at least Perspective? I really don't know, but I just assumed all of those were WAAS. I think a lot of the price difference is from perception that Avidyne is old and discontinued(true), and G1000(any) is basically current(ehhh.. sort of true). Perspective G1000 may...

Not for Cirrus. At least not yet. According to Garmin

as mentioned, usb is even worse. They tend to get lost and are completely unsecured. now. Imagine your laptop gets legs and walks away. Breaking laptop password is trivial. You now have go into every account with passwords you don’t remember to reset them, while the thief resets your main...

If only one could easily fly AN-2 for this :)

привет Слава. Киевлян тут. Welcome to POA

This is definitely not a good approach. Something I used to do, btw. First, it opens you up for "I got one password, it's easy to get others" - today's computers can pretty quickly cycle through "little different" Excel sheet itself is very unsecured even if pw protected. Someone gets your...

Alright, I reread the OP and it’s possible the total weight of passengers is around 800lb. That still puts you in 1000lb UL not enough. Bags/gear still take you to not having enough fuel to make any flight. And you’d need a 6cyl plane to make that work, or 15-18gph. With minimum reserve fuel...

Viacheslav(is that Russian?). I think the first thing you have to do is get on the same page as everyone else. Useful load is a specific term. It means the difference between gross take off weight and empty (0 fuel, 0 passengers, 0 baggage) weight. It’s not how much stuff/ people you can put in...

They certainly don't have that obligation. Short of some regulatory need to replace old G1000s they are perfectly capable systems(WAAS is complicated on some). If they are able to support G1000s for a long time that would be a really nice revenue since replacing the system would be cost...

I don't doubt what you are saying. I key word I should have emphasized in my comment was "easily". I suspect replacing STCed G1000 is not easy or cheap. TC as you said is even more complicated depending on the aircraft.

Don't know how obscene that amount was, but did you consider Avidyne replacement? I suspect that most go that or GTN route when their GNS quits.
