In the Arab desert? Ok, there's a lot more about Arabia than just
desert, I know.

But this is beside the point anyway. The point is, the buyer of a new
plane decides what instruments he wants to be fitted. If the buyer
decides he wants just the basics as a backup, then this is the buyers
decision and neither Cessna's nor Garmin's. And I do perfectly
understand if this buyer doesn't want to spend a couple of thousand for
instruments which might be useful just for the ferry flight. After all,
you knew this acted accordingly: You had an independant radio and an
independant GPS as backup with you.
