NW_Pilot's Trans-Atlantic Flight -- All the scary details...

However, in this case, the fuel sensor failure caused a total system

Actually, we do not know this. We can assume it, and the evidence is
pretty strong, but there might have been other factors which we
don't know.

True. In addition to the fuel sensor "overload" (it didn't really
fail -- it just sent info to the G1000 that made no sense), he also
experienced a CO sensor failure, and (later) a tach failure.

It's hard to say what caused what to happen, without more data.

I agree that we are in no position to determine the cause of the problems;
they could be specific to this particular unit, or caused by damage during
the installation of the ferry tank and other panel mounted items rather
than the general design of the G1000. However, it still troubles me that
Garmin told NW_Pilot that the system can experience similar problems
during stalls and in slow flight. That *does* sound like the G1000 has
some design issues that need sorting out.
