3 ADAHRS
I found this but not much from Garmin on why (below) Seems the G3X should have the ability to lock out a third and give you a warning that "ADAHRS #x disagrees with other 2 ADAHRS by x%. X% could be user settable. I'm still going to have a G5 since it seems fairly independent with the rest of the avionics interface. I don't plan on using a different producer of this type of back-up as it seems not much to gain and another manufactures instrument to learn.
Yes but even if we had 3 GSU25's installed which the G3X will support, to my understanding (G3X team please correct me if I'm wrong), we still wouldn't have a system capable of figuring out which ADAHRS doesn't match the other two and lock that bad unit out, it's still up to the pilot to do the comparison and decide which ADAHRS is not performing correctly and then manually select the right one. A 'miscomp" message only tells you that you that they don't match and you need to look at it and figure it out yourself.
