Shame the Cirrus electrical system is so poor...
Please explain. The Cirrus Perspective aircraft have a 100 amp ALT1, 70 AMP ALT 2 and dual batteries. Due to the diode interconnect there is no action required during an alternator failure.
On older Cirrus aircraft (pre-Perspective) Alt 2 was 20 AMP. I wouldn't call this system poor but the full size alternator on the Columbia was better. You still had dual electrical system. Prior to early 2006, ALT1 was 70 AMP. Around March 2006 Cirrus went to 100 AMP ALT1 as they kept adding things to the plane.
As for 12" screens, my plane has 10" screens and I wish it had the larger 12" screens. I really like them. Call it personal preference but I believe that, on a glass panel, real estate matters. Having a friend who has SVT on his Diamond and landed it with an iced over windscreen, I believe SVT is a very nice feature. Before you say anything, I would never fly with his instructor after hearing how the guy got him into that situation.
