Chelton EFIS: any PIREPS?
Hello community,
after downloading several *.pdf's from the Chelton side (being inspired by AOPA's Commander ;-) and browsing thru them, it seems that there are some features in this box that set it apart from the competition, e.g. terrain display, "higway-in-the-sky" pointers, etc. Are there any pilots out there experienced in using this box in the IFR environment? Thanks in advnace for answers. Kai |

The system is pretty nice, but the company is not. I worked there for
18 months as an engineer, and wasn't happy with the way management treated their employees or their business partners, so I left. Not very ethical people... that may not matter to customers however.

om... Are there any pilots out there experienced in using this box in the IFR environment? Yes, it is an incredible system. Unlike other glass cockpits, the Chelton EFIS navigates in 3D, not 2D. It provides extremely good situational awareness even on low IMC approaches and the synthetic vision is a great tool for avoiding CFIT accidents. Let me know if you have any other questions. -------------------- Richard Kaplan, CFII www.flyimc.com |
