How To Get The Most out of your LXNAV glide computer - Webinar -Available for View Online
In the video it was stated that pilots should "avoid" turning the unit off "just like that" to "shut it down properly".
I know is a Linux-based system. We tell our customers never to just unplug a Linux-based server... this is avionics... this is attached to the cockpit... shouldn't avionics allow this? I'm new to gliders but this is a bit scary. Will the thing just hung like many Linux servers who are improperly shutdown do? I expect more from avionics really. I am misunderstanding something?

This is uncertified avionics, explicitly not to be used as a primary navigation source. That said I usually just hit the master switch to no discernible ill effects yet.

Ok I'm trying to understand. we couldn't have anything "uncertified" in the panel of a C-152 ... lots to learn.
