Default NW_Pilot's Trans-Atlantic Flight -- All the scary details...

Yea, its a scary thought! The G1,000 System is nice when it works "Great
IFR platform for situational awareness" But they do need some manual back
up of some critical items for safe IFR flight. I know I would not fly into
IFR conditions in a G1000 equipped airplane with my family or a passenger
on board. After sitting for 70 hours on Cessna version of the G1000 Scares
the hell out of me and it takes a lot to scare me! To many bugs and
failure in 70 hours of flight! Look at my finial day the Tach. even
failed!



I think you did good. This whole adventure and your handling of it has IMHO
wiped away the stain on your reputation that was the 150 roll.
