I need some input and wisdom from people actually flying with newer glass cockpit panels, G3X Touch, G3X, Dynon, AFS etc....
My panel is at Stein and we ran into a last minute snafu. Some things need to get moved around. We are doing Dual 10" G3X Touch, GTN 650, and GRT Mini as backup efis.
I had planned on having an iPad mini on the far right. We have a solution but I'm debating if it's worth it.
I've only flown a little behind a G1000. I normally rent older planes and really like using my iPad mini(of course). My thinking was the iPad allows me to keep the use of foreflight, and easily access any other new technology as it comes down the road, as well as have yet another redundant back up nav system( it would be linked to a Stratus).
Here's the big question, those of you out there flying with these newer panels, do you miss iPad? Do you have one? Do you wish you had one? Or am I just going to go through a lot of trouble for something that in the end I won't really need and won't miss.
Input please..... I have to make some decisions in the next couple days......
Thanks in advance.....
