Hi Folks,
First off, sorry if this has been gone over already. I searched it, but there is about one million threads on the G3x so I may not have seen it.
I've got a question regarding redundancy on the G3X. I'd like to go with a single 10" display (including engine) instead of two of the 7 inch displays. I'm assuming the G3X is designed to 10 to the minus whatever failure criteria, but there's things like circuit breakers, wiring issues, shorts, etc... I know that the 430's and 530's actually have two separate power inputs, one for the GPS and one for the nav/com. Is the G3X setup this way? How do they handle redundancy on a single display?
Yes, there's backup flight instruments, but if you have a single 10" display with the engine gauges your are losing primary flight instruments, engine, and MFD. That's a lot. I know, I know, put in 2 displays. Ok, but I'd like to run out the single option anyway if for no other reason than to validate the extra cost of the 2nd display.
Thanks,
DEM
