Is that a personal machine?
It is. When the helo was spec'd in late 2006, the Chelton EFIS/FMS did not support NEXRAD weather, and this led to the addition of the Garmin GMX200 for wx and other functions. The Chelton has a single GPS receiver and the 696 was added to provide backup nav capability. It all works very nicely except for th 696 crashes.
