OK,
For you instrument rated RVers out there who routinely file and fly IFR, if you were building a new panel today with a 2-screen EFIS (G3X in my case) multiple GPS's and at least a 430 and or 650, would you add a 2nd NAV/COM or just a COM?
I was originally planning for only one NAV/COM (a 430W) and an SL40 for a 2nd COM. I also have an old KX99 handheld that works just fine as an emergency backup. However, the rescent published GPS outage in the South and the potential 4G network jamming issues have put doubts in my mind as if this is a solid plan. But since I'm not instrument rated (plan to be in the future once my -10 is flying), I don't know if I'm really worrying about nothing. I get that it's all about the level of risk I'm willing to assume, but without having an IR it's difficult for me to distinguish the lines between moderate, high, and deadman flying levels of risk. What say you?
Thanks in advance!
