I totally agree with the above. Maitainence/Weather/Visibilty/Engine troubles/Communtication errors/Complete lack of saftey were just a few of the problems to be put up with.
An accident like that was inevidable when flying in the circuit downwind in viz less than 5 km, guessing where the other a/c were in the circuit.(without actually sighting it)
Completeley relying on the g1000, i too would think again before accepting such an offer.
