am not superman I still needed to fly the plane.

Was it not equipped with an auto pilot?

Probably linked to the G1000...

The 172 I flew with the G1000, it was linked.

Besides, after that avionics failure, I'm not sure I'd trust anything else.

To clarify my earlier post: Go ahead and blame Garmin ( which may or may not be right ) but don't use this failure as a reason not to have advanced avionics in aircraft.

Software that reboots the entire instrumentation panel because of a
single bad input is not "advanced".

and as had been pointed out by a number of people, there is no solid
evidence that make it clear that the reboots where caused by the out of
range sensor. Even the original story said the fuel displayed displayed
red x before other system failed and eventually rebooted the overall
system. Even it the G1000 is a bad design/system, it's still no reason
to say that we must stay with steam gauges.

Yes, it was coupled to the G1000 and was useless!

No, it is not.

It would however mean that the G1000 is a bad design/system.

More to the point, it is an =attractive= bad design/system. That's the
nub. Glass is really sexy, and because of this, can be marketed =even=
if it's a bad design/system. One should be suspicious of glass =for=
that reason.

I believe that there are many reasons for redundancy and the potential
for a poorly designed system is one of them.
