1) All avionics software implements internal isolation to prevent one
part of the system from taking down another part.
2) A faulty fuel reading cannot cause the system to reboot. In
addition to testing every possible faulty fuel value, I've tested
every combination of faulty sensor readings related to this thread
and am unable to get anything out of the ordinary to happen. The
picture of the fuel sensor with the red X is correct behavior when a
gauge is fauly or giving erroneous data.

Do you expect me to believe you are a Garmin Engineer using a hotmail
e-mail addy and a 1 time poster under this username :-)
Just FYI, the poster used Google Groups, which tacks on a header
indicating
the IP address of the poster; in this case that header is:
Injection-Info: e3g2000cwe.googlegroups.com; posting-host=69.247.168.62;
posting-account=YoF8rQ0AAABFBsk62Tpp2wBJ_FD_CVG_
I used the "dig" utility on one of my Linux machines to see what host
name(s)
might be associated with that 69.247.168.62 address. It came up with this:
c-69-247-168-62.hsd1.ks.comcast.net.
Looks like a Comcast account in Kansas, based on my understanding of how
ISPs
like Comcast assign host names to IP addresses. Garmin is headquartered in
Kansas. So the possibility can't be immediately ruled out based on where
the
poster is posting from.
Well, this is Usenet and I think that if it was really a garmin rep/engineer
why would they hide themselves with a hotmail account!
It will take a lot for Garmin to win my opinion and respect of them and
their products/systems if ever. Due to maybe a software flaw in their system
it could have taken my life or someone else's and probably will take a
someones in the future lets hope it's not mine.
I will still fly the G1000 for customers that hire me me to fly them I will
Just be more cautious of them!
Would I take my family or friends in one IFR conditions no way not ever!!
Not until Garmin/Cessna can prove to me that the G1000 will operate for 100+
hours without some sort of bug or failure!! Asking me to place my family in
one in IFR conditions would be the same as asking me to put a gun to their
heads and play Russian Roulette with them and I take my family in IFR
conditions in my cessna 150!
I have also been in contacted by an aviation publication about my experience
on the G1000 not sure if I want to do the interview or not? I know I should
just to expose that there maybe a potential fatal bug/flaw in the system!
If Garmin would like more info from me I am instructed to tell them to put
it on paper and place the request in the mail!
Now I am done talking about the G1000 and it's problems, Lets all talk about
other aviation related things!
