I usually like your posts, but mate get off your high horse for a second.
Obviously in this instance you have little knowlege of the unit in question. Yes the update rate is not as fast as my solid state EFIS, you are correct there....however it is sufficient enough to save your arse should all the good easy to use TSO'd gear went u/s on you.
If that was all you had left, plus an AI and Altimeter, normal old clocks, and the F/O grabbed the 296 and chucked it out the window saying this won't help........YOU would probably kill him with your crash axe!
The thing would save your arse....probably not with me flying it, but your highly skilled ATPL brains would make do. In fact I reckon I might have a crack at flying on it under the hood sometime soon. Might just surprise myself. Will take along a current Qantas check and trainer to make sure i do it safely and without cheating. If I remember I will let you know how it goes.
