Comment on Fly In and Bike the Virginia Creeper Trail by JLA

Good story! And good pics of the G1000 too! I’ve not yet had the opportunity to fly a G1000 with SVT yet, but I’m looking forward to being able to soon. I have flown in a few RV’s equipped with EFIS’s from Blue Mountain Avionics & Grand Rapids that had synthetic vision and am a big believer in the technology. Those companies (Blue Mountain & Grand Rapids) both did an excellent job with their respective synthetic vision systems, especially for the price, but from what I’ve seen they don’t really compare to what’s available from Garmin. I can only imagine what it would be like with that big 10″ screen!

At this point I’m just waiting to see what Avidyne’s new Entegra Release 9 system with SVT is going to look like.

Hi,

This example was taken from a Diamond DA40 XLS with G1000 which all have this feature to allow you to customize the display. I’m sorry to hear your Cessna Skyhawk does not have this feature.

Hi,

I fly a G1000 Skyhawk that doesn’t have this handy feature.
Page AUX 4 doesn’t propose to create a profile at all.

Which aircraft are you fling ?

Thanks

Comment on Solar power for your G1000 anyone? by Jason

That’s pretty slick! When I first read the title of this post I thought – that wouldn’t make a good backup power source, especially when you would need it most – in the clouds.

But for ground use, it’s a very cool idea!

Great use case for that. There is nothing harder in an airplane for me than a quick succession of tasks. And that’s one of the best examples – an approach you have little time to setup for.

It gets 2x harder in the clouds, so I’d certainly think that having that SVT display would help a tremendous amount – especially with the flight path marker and the boxes.

Yes, you can upgrade G1000 to include SVT on the XL, but that is not why I did the trade in. Without going into a lot of boring detail, let’s just say it made sense from a “tax” perspective. Everyone’s situation is different, and this made sense for our business.

The way the prices have dropped on the XL, it’s a good buy for anyone in the DA40 market. Plus I like the TAS on the XL…was disappointed it wasn’t included on the XLS (13k upgrade!).

Thanks for the feedback.
Brad

I am in the market for a DA40 and am curious why you upgraded from an XL to and XLS. If it was for the SVT, couldn’t you just upgrade the G1000 in the XL?
thanks,
Mark
