Pilots should be made aware of the potential magnitude of the failure
mode when the glass cockpit goes into infinite re-boot mode. All
communications, navigation, autopilot, etc are lost. I doubt many who
fly behind such equipment are aware of that.


It is in the emergency procedures. Pilots should be aware of those.


Are you able to provide the specific wording from the C-172S POH that
mentions that only ASI, AI, VSI, Alt. and magnetic compass steam gages
will be available in the event of glass cockpit failure, and also
mentions that the autopilot, radio communications, fuel gages, and
navigation systems will become inoperative?


Not at this time, being in the Philippines and not having any manuals
with me at all. However, it is in the G1000 manual, which is part of
the airplane's operator's manuals.
