Well, this is Usenet and I think that if it was really a garmin rep/engineer why would they hide themselves with a hotmail account! It will take a lot for Garmin to win my opinion and respect of them and their products/systems if ever. Due to maybe a software flaw in their system it could have taken my life or someone else's and probably will take a someones in the future lets hope it's not mine. Your experience sounds to me more like a hardware problem than software. For example, the continuous rebooting may be caused by an intermittent ground connection to the G1000, causing its power to switch on and off. Given that the panel was "hacked" by the same outfit that made the poorly kludged aux tank system (a system that clearly does have a major design flaw) and gave you the bogus operating instructions, I am far more suspicious of them than Garmin. The G1000 was only the most obvious indicator of a major problem somewhere in the aircraft. I have also been in contacted by an aviation publication about my experience on the G1000 not sure if I want to do the interview or not? I know I should just to expose that there maybe a potential fatal bug/flaw in the system! If it were me, I wouldn't do such an interview, as there is no conclusion about the real cause of the problems you experienced. To point the finger on the basis of pure speculation would leave you vulnerable. As can be seen from the discussion that this has generated, inuendo can go a long way toward creating a lasting negative impression that has no basis in fact -- yet. Neil |
