Default Re: G1000 vs. Avidyne

Yes you are correct that the radio will still work. But yeah if you want to change freqs you'd need to count clicks.

WOuldn't it be great if they had a small frequency annunciator panel down by the standby instruments? Really shoulda thought about that!

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Garmin1000, but I just feel like the Avidyne package is more user friendly, and I have 10X as much time in the G1000.

I also don't like in the G1000 the fact that the Localizer and Glideslope needles are about 6 inches away from each other at a strange angle.

And to think that I used to have the AHRS failure modes for the G1000 memorized in order to still keep your heading indicator. Ah, to be a student and only have to study.
