Having read the thread about the tragic events in the Gulf, I noticed the following quote.
Even an all EFIS cockpit has standby electromechanical horizons, ASIs VSIs and altimeters. Any experienced IFR pilot is capable of operating on these even in the event of a total electrical failure.
As all 139 pilots well know, this is not the case.
This made me wonder how other 139 pilots feel about the display suite as fitted to the 139, with regard to the very remote chance of total electrical failure when flying without external visual reference.
I make no comment at this point as I don't want to 'steer' any response, but I would be very interested to hear other people's views.
