Default King's KLN-94 Replacement


Synthetic vision? Maybe it'd be great for hard IFR in
the mountains, but how many of us do that?? How
many VFR 172 pilots in Kansas will buy their unit
just because it features synthetic vision?


Quite. In fact, I'm not even sure it's that useful for IFR, either,
unless you're trying to glide yourself in after an engine failure in
the mountains. Sounds like they're looking too hard for technical
differentiators when time-to-market and compatability are really the
key issues.
