I wonder whether the VLJ folks who are using the G-1000 plan on
transponder redundancy. Loss of a transponder can result in ATC booting
an airplane out of Class A airspace.

Which is why I was specifically referencing the NAV III (piston)
setup. I believe the Mustang is equipped with dual GTX, AHARS, and
ADCs in addition to a weather radar and additional (larger?) third
screen as it's MFD, the other (standard) GDUs are configured for PFD
in that setup.
