Im trying to make a final decision on panel layout Ive decided on Garmin G3X with a GTN650 Navigator, GNC255 backup nav com and PS8000 audio panel, transponder is remote. G5 as well. I have flown for many years but never with a glass set up. transitioning to glass is one issue, but because I have never flown it i don't know the best layout.
the symmetrical layouts appear aesthetically best, ie. 10" screen on pilot side and 10" screen on copilot side the other units stacked in the middle. But is this best in operation? is the copilot screen in the field of view for the pilot?
I have seen setups with two 7.5" portrait style screens on the pilot side, a 10" and a 7.5" on the pilot side then the stack offset to the right. My intention is an IFR machine.
any real world flying advice on this?
