It was a *ferry flight* in an airplane which was not supposed to ever
fly over water again. You want full redundancy installed for one ferry
flight? Ok, just don't ferry fly then.


I'd prefer it for all flights given the importance of fuel supply in an
airplane and given the fairly high rate of fuel exhaustion incidents. I
especially want redundancy with a system as fragile as the G1000 appears
to be.
