Portable IMC emergency panel
Howdy, I fly a Cirrus SR22, an all-electric plane. It has dual-redundant power busses, which makes total electrical failure unlikely, but if it does happen in IMC it can really ruin your day, so I'm thinking about a backup plan. Obviously a portable GPS and Comm unit are first on the priority list, but I'd also like to get a portable AI, since it's really hard to keep the wings level with just a GPS. Most of the portable AIs seem to be part of a complete EFB solution about which I know very little, but as long as I'm heading in that direction anyway I thought I'd ask if anyone had any experience or recommendations in this direction. I want to optimize for portability first. This is just a backup plan, so I don't want to shlep around a lot of extra weight that I'm likely never going to use. Beyond that I'm curious about two things: 1) what's the cheapest portable AI solution out there, and 2) what can I get that's still portable if price is no object. XM weather? Portable stormscope? Electronic approach plates? The kitchen sink? (I suppose a portable autopilot is too much to ask :-) Thanks, rg |
