I was refurring to a moving map. With a moving map display there is no need for a ADF, just look at the moving map (MFD)of where that fix is. Same goes for a auto pilot, if you have a good working AP then I would never fly a IMC approach single pilot with out using it. That would be like...

United did not fly or land any plane at the WTC, it was the hijackers that did it. What happen at the WTC was not the fault at all of United or AAL.

Why not use what we have that helps fly better and safe. There is no reason not to use a GPS if you have it, not using it is like putting a fire out by blowing on it while at the same time you have a fire extenguesher at hand. We now have cars to drive to work, I use it and I still can ride a...

Just go to the Garmin website and you can se the G2000 with the GTC controller.

The new G2000 will be in the new Corvalis in late 2012 touch screen FMS like the G3000.

Aspen to take over the KLN770 and finish it to sell by the end of the year, looks like Honeywell gave up on GA.

Anybody see the new Magic from Garmin for the GTN650 750 touch screen and to replace the 430 530. https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=194&pID=67886

Yes I use Skylane when I fly my 182. If in a 206 then I say Stationair.

The CAS is a warning to the pilot, so it does fulfills the requirement. The same goes for a X over the vacuum gauge, it will give you a CAS warning also, legal to fly VFR. In my POH it says I can fly VFR with no VAC pump working. other AC may be different.

What regs? A AC is not "regs"

CAS is crew alerting system. That in itself is a placard saying it is inop. It is legal to fly with the CO detector not working if the CAS is saying it has failed. The pilot now knows it will not work.

I will list it here for you. TAWS better algorithm New XM. AIREP PIREP ICING TURBULENCE Weather map north up or user selectable Better TFR's Flight plan sequencing Better GFC700 roll steering Dead reckoning mode with roll steering Minimums reset after approach Flight plan import and...

You should have that list in the mail by now, if not, I can fax it to you, or see below.

You can fly the plane with the CAS alert saying it is inop, there is a list of required equipment on the plane and that is not required. Some G1000's do not have a CO detector. That is the great thing about a CAS, you do not need to placard it.

Almost all features are OEM specified, the OEM and Garmin together made the G1000 to get the FAA certification. The King Air was mostly done by Garmin. It is much easier to get certified on a new airframe, then retrofit.
