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

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

to be.
Ok, so you want the FAA jump in and require full redundancy on all
instruments for all privately operated light singles to be considered
airworthy? I'm not sure you really want this.
(Heck, I fly routinely with T&B, ASI, Altimeter and whisky compass in
clouds, with no Garmin whatsoever in the first place. Granted, not 200
miles over water and on no other mission than for the fun of it.)
