I am thinking of upgrading my early 1990's RV-6A VFR panel from a mix-mash of mostly electrical (no vacuum) discrete gauges; just added when ever & where ever (no organization) to a panel with a little glass in it. I've already gotten rid of an older GPS/Loran system, and may also eliminate the VOR nav.
This is what I am think of for the core functionality:
(AFS EE-3400 & Airmap 2000C)
My question is what to keep as backup. Maybe just enough to get down safely. I always carry a portable COMM and a portable GPS; so I am mainly interested in flight and engine backup, and in priority order.
Here are my thoughts:
FLIGHT:
1. Air Speed
2. Altimeter
3. ?
ENGINE:
1. Oil Pressure
2. Oil Temperature
3. Tachometer
4. ?
Thanks for any feedback,
