Pete,
Wholeheartedly agree. I=92ve installed three of the iLevil=92s and find th
em virtually bullet proof. I install their top end unit which has to be ca
refully aligned in the panel, but basically trouble free after that.

As one of Levil's initial customers with their ahrsg-mini (still working i
n my hummel), i like their product, but really like http://www.talosavionic

LPLaLjR%2F1aYiQGdVY3PeV22uP%2B4clP9gIkxHAt5KeQ%3D&reserved=0> better from
an ahrs and display software perspective.
For those already with a GRT engine monitor, their solid little mini is the
obvious choice....a reall great pice of kit.
Imho of course :-)
Cheers,
Pete

very good point...hadn't thought of that. I will look at GRT and some of t
he portable options Leveil + naviator is one that catches my eye.
flying completely VFR all the time here is hard so everyone cheats a little
from time to time (except me of course)

Keep in mind, common pitot, so duplicate potential attitude failure.
Not a bad idea to use a different vendor as a backup - different software b
ugs. One thing that grand rapids dos very well: it does not depend on gps
or pitot for consistent and reliable attitude.

yes I have airspeed and rpm in round instruments. I figure I can get alt f
rom my GPS
However I have grown rather addicted to the synthetic vision and autopilot
and it is a bit disconcerting when it goes blank. I can imagine that it wo
uld be a tad more disconcerting if one were in IFR....Im very glad it happe
ned now and not half way between Curacao and the Dom Rep....
I have been mulling this over and am thinking that I need to rebuild the pa
nel - taking my time as opposed to rushing to get in the air. I will
- tidy up my electrical installation using blade fuzes instead of bulky a
nd heavy CBs - this will free up a lot of space in the panel and reduce wei
ght
- include a second 7" dynon and adahrs
- and while Ive got the panel off include the sensor wires that I should h
ave included to start with.
Things happen for a reason.

In the UK it is mandated to have backups of both airspeed and altimeter. F
or good reason.
Recently some members even managed to get approval for backups that are dig
ital instruments - based on a safety case that they are no less reliable th
an conventional electric/vacuum gauges. Obviously need battery backups and
be wired on separate circuits.
The Dynon D2 looks ideal as a backup. I have a Dynon D10A which acts as a
full 6-pack augmenting the steam gauges. Oddly l prefer the steam gauge di
splay as they take less time to check (on account of the needle positions b
eing stored as a 'picture' in one's head). Dr Joyce may be able to expand
on this in medical terms?
Regarding IFR, individual aircraft are being assessed in the UK for eligibi
lity for night/IFR use. I believe that Dynon displays may be considered ac
ceptable even without TSO (???)
