After this Issue I think that there should be manual back up gauges and
instruments for the required equipment under FAR 91.205!


If I were flying the kind of flying you are doing I'd invest in a 496. It
would give you at lease some level of backup for almost everything in the
plane except radio and engine instruments.


I have a portable GPS that worked great! XM weather is almost useless out
side the U.S.


I was thinking more about the nav and GPS derived panel not the XM weather.
