Well, count the number of single-point failure modes your plan has -
and then stop flying, by that logic. There is no such thing as
zero-risk.


As long as the G1000 is backed up by a portable GPS and a vacuum AI, the
single-point failure risk is reduced to a reasonable level.

Again, the real risk is economic.... have you ever had to order a
dealer-only component on an electronically controlled automobile
transmission or engine? That should give you a sense of what G1000 owners
could face in 10 years.
