Thanks. That is a subtle difference. So under what circumstance would one want to put in a switch to force it to reversion? Since its an automatic feature on failure...

G3XPERT: Looks like we posted at the same time. I agree. No switch is needed. I'll tell my avionics shop not to install one. Thanks.

I agree with Steve, no real reason to have a switch. I have one but rarely use it and when I do, I use it for purposes that most people would never need it for.

I would love to see a more configurable pages، especially with the engine page. With two screens, we could see a set of engine parameters on one screen and another set on the second screen. Also have the ability to display it at the bottom of the page. Something like GRT does

are we ever going to get more aural alert options?

My system seems to have a variety of bings and bongs, but not as many "spoken" or aural alerts/alarms as the Dynon i used to fly

any plans for that Garmin?

Larger barbs and different color barbs on the winds aloft page. The small green barbs are very difficult to read.

I would love to be able to show ground speed in mph on the G5 and ground speed in knots on the G3X. However the G5 slaves to whatever is set for the G3X

Tab for PIREP form on info page with available data already displayed and explanations for information that can?t be automatically populated, like this:

2. Location: [Automatically populated]
3. Time: [Automatically populated]
4. Altitude: [Automatically populated]
5. Aircraft Type: [Automatically populated]
6. Sky Condition: Describe cloud layers as few, scattered, broken or overcast, with associated altitudes
7. Temperature: [Automatically populated]
8. Turbulence: Describe frequency as occasional, intermittent or continuous and intensity as light, moderate, severe or extreme, with associated altitudes
9. Wind: [Automatically populated]
10. Icing: Describe accumulation as trace, light, moderate or severe and type as rime, clear or mixed. Report negative, when icing was forecast, but not encountered
11. Visibility: Flight visibility at altitude

I would provide a lot more pireps if I had something like this.

That would be a great idea, I'd like to make the PIREPS more visible, they are a bit difficult to see on the map page view

Automatically set the weather altitude on the weather page for the weather closest to your actual altitude.

Setting for flap over speed for manual flaps.
