PA _ I was asking a simple question. Yes you are indeed correct and we should learn partial panel etc, et al, et blah blah. My question was, would having an app like this help the average Joe caught in a sticky situation....
Personally I don't think it will make any difference.
It won't be in your normal scan and the panic factor will see to the rest.
Nice to have if your current and have some spare capacity partial panel but thats about it.
If your looking for a solution a battery powered backup artifical horizon is the only option. But you will have to make the effort to include it in your scan and sometimes do an approach only using it. You can get ones that have a ILS indication built in which is what we get on the commercials with EFIS.
You have to get home thing is the thing that kills you. And yes I have sat and continpated many a time about what I am about to put in the tech log to ground an aircraft, which has completely screwed with my personal life. And of cause everyone else due to travel and some times caused days of hassle to the schedual afterwards. To this day all of us are alive.
