Exactly. And IO540 I do not think you can extrapolate the capabilities of the Cessna 400/ Piper Malibu/FIKI turbo'd G3 Cirrus across the GA fleet as these very capable singles represent a small proportion of the fleet.

Your point about the capabilities of the latest generation of portable GPS "instrument panels" is very valid as now any aircraft can have a truely redundent blind flying panel which will keep you right side up when all else has failed.

In any case what I post seems to bother you as you seem incapable of agreeing with anything I post so I will refrain from derailing any more threads with any discussion on topics you seem very invested in.
