No not about fuel costs. About a month ago the COM1 radio in my plane died. It got me thinking about safety upgrades I could make. I carry a handheld radio but to tell you the truth even with practice(I have a separate cable an antennae just for this radio, something to do with if I used the G1000 antenna it could destroy the G1000 radios, so I had a separate antennae put in) it is not the easiest thing to use. So it got me thinking. My conclusion was to put an AOA in. Everything I read about this is positive, and though it seems a two wing system is better there does not seem to be a commercially available one. In addition, because of the COM failure, I though about putting in a third COM unit. The G1000 has two already, but I have already experienced a PFD failure, a transponder failure, and now a COM failure, and assorted other gremlins and am having some issues with my confidence in the G1000, and Garmins understanding of their own system. My avionic guy recommended a legacy AOA, a GNC-255A, and a MD200-306 VOR localizer indicator.
So my question does this make sense, should I save my money and not do anything, or would it make more sense to put in a separate isolate second glass screen.
