Folks,
For those with a dual screen AFS 3400 or 4500, which configuration did go with: one EF & one EM or one EE & one slave? According to the price list it's $100 cheaper to go the EF-EM route, but are there any operational/functional issues that would make the EE & slave combo a better choice?

Also, since the EE is a combined EFIS and Engine monitor in one, does it require one power input or two (not counting back-up inputs)?

Finally, does the AIRINC 429 module get its power from the EFIS or does it have it's own feed?

Thanks!

Not flying yet, but I have powered up the displays with some test cables....

The displays seem to share most data between them, so I think it will function either way. If you have the EF-EM combined box and it fails, of course you lose everything. If the functions are separated you will only lose those hosted in the failed display. Your choice. I have the EF and EM in separate displays.

Also, since the EE is a combined EFIS and Engine monitor in one, does it require one power input or two (not counting back-up inputs)?

Both the EFIS and EM functions run off of the same power input. Note that there are two power pins with one as a backup. That allows you to wire it to two separate power busses if you want. There is also an option for an internal battery.

It has its own feed.
