The key is REDUNDANCY. Lets say computer one has a probability of
breaking of .01 (1 out of 100). Computer B has a probability of
breaking of .01. If their probabilities of breaking are independent of
each other then the probability of BOTH breaking is .0001 (1 in
10,000).

Perhaps each G1000 install should be accompanied by a totally seperate
GPS/Com, much like it has totally seperate AI, airspeed and altimeter.

I wish more companies had such great service.

Great service is a good thing, but a better thing is equipment that
doesn't need service to begin with. Having great service doesn't help
when your equipment fails in flight.

If you've discovered a way to produce 100% defect free products let me
know. Would you come work for me? I'll pay you $2.5m each year we are
100% defect free.
