Another plus for MGL is that their CEO frequents this forum. Feel free to PM him with any questions, he is very responsive. His nick is Rainier Lamers. |

Honestly, I don't think you can really go wrong in this category. Pick your budget and go from there. I read every thread on every EFIS maker, on every product, and it really came down to what day of the week it was as to who to go with. They're all good. |

I have a dual screen op tech efis 11.4" with all the bells and whistles. Interested?

This is a good reason to goto sun-n-fun or oshkosh and play with all of them!

I'm saying the following with my MGL hat OFF.
If you can wait - wait. Best advice anybody can give you. You buy the EFIS at the last minute. get and do everything else first. I have it on good authority that there will be a few new players in the field soon with both certified and uncertified products. Not the best news for the existing vendors but great news for everybody else. With the current deluge of new technology aimed at the tablet market it is now becoming easy and affordable for aviation enthusiastic engineers and programmers to start creating their own hardware and software systems in almost any way you can think of. And I'm not talking junk stuff - I am talking high quality, high performance at low prices. Just to give you a little insight on what is happening (as example): Just in the last 16 months I have completely redesigned the G3 processor upgrade for our EFIS systems THREE TIMES. Not because it was no good but because every time I was close to done, somebody pops a new chip under my nose that is just so much better and/or cheaper I have no choice but to start again. The same choices are available to everybody else ! I have never in my far too long electronics career experienced pace of progress as is happening right now in nearly all areas. Rainier |
Rainier-
Any update on the MGL iEFIS ship dates? Thanks! Gerry Peterson Merritt Island, FL |
EFIS Selection Process
Do a very detailed requirements analysis involving not only EFIS capabilities, but human factors and panel space considerations.
I spent months analyzing for my -8A. Decided single screen with a 496 GPS, standard radio stack and back up steam gages (A/S, VSI, Altimeter) with ADI II autopilot. Single screen functionality of the AFS 4500 is superb: I fly in the 3-screen mode: EFIS, Map and Engine Monitor. IPad with Doreflight for approaches. Works for me. |
