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

Before everyone jumps all over Garmin keep in mind that what caused

No. What caused it was a design flaw in the G1000.

It created a condition that the Garmin unit could not handle.


Because of defective design in the Garmin unit.

There are LOTS of these Garmin units out there working
very well, very few complaints at all. ALL of the new Cessnas have them
and they are WORKING!


They are not working if they reboot, and apparently Garmin knows of
anomalies.

How such a mess got certified for anything is a mystery to me.
