Multiengine Rating

No, it was due to bugs in the software of the G1000. Bugs aren't
acceptable in safety-of-life systems. No matter how the aircraft is
configured, there's no excuse for a reboot.


If you have a link, I'd like to see an article about this. I've never
heard of this.
FWIW, in my limited actual G1000 experience the unit is rock solid.

As for reboots, Airbus has had there share of issues with the A319/A320
series as of late. They have SOPS to handle issues like this.

If we continue this thread, we should consider moving it to a new
thread as this really has nothing to do with Multiengine Ratings.



Does Frasca build full-motion simulators? I think I saw something on
their site, but I'm not sure. Also, do they build simulators for
_specific_ GA aircraft, or only for generic aircraft of a given type?

Yes. Generic, specific, full motion. See:

FWIW: Also Elite builds several types of simulators.

Maybe if the just fixed the bugs instead of trying to work around them
they'd be in better shape today.

Cool. I wouldn't mind having Baron 58 and 737 simulators. It's
interesting to note that the visuals aren't much better than MSFS,
though. But eye candy isn't always essential for good simulation.
