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

The G1000 system If you buy one or intend to fly one in the Soup be current
and really proficient on you partial panel skill because in the event of a
G1000 failure or even partial failure you will be left with and Compass,
Altimeter, Attitude Indicator, and Airspeed Indicator and a bunch of useless
knobs and buttons or questionable reading from a partial failure.

Better still, just skip the G1000 in the first place.

I don't think it would cost Cessna much $$$ to put some manual back up
instruments in the panel even if they are the small ones they already charge
to much for a skyhawk why not add 3k or 4k if even that much to the price
and add some redundancy to the system!

Is a G1000 standard equipment, or can you opt for reliable avionics
instead?

It's an Optional Avionics Package!
