My panel sports a single Grand Rapids EFIS display with an EIS 4000 to collect engine data. Now that I have some serious simulated flight under my belt, I find that having just one display in this configuration is pretty much unworkable.
I need to be able to scan both my primary flight instruments ( view 1 on the EFIS ) and my engine status ( view 3 on the EFIS ) pretty much continuously and this is just not possible with a single display.
While there are shared screen modes, they are severely limited in the data they can display because of the size of the screen and the lack of available real estate to work with. The engine monitor has a small display capable of showing the state of any 4 items but I have a lot more things I?m monitoring that I would like to always view.
I?m particularly concerned about first flight as I want to be able to view the ALL the engine data and primary flight systems for obvious reasons.
Is anyone using this configuration, and if so how are you making it work for you?
