EFIS versus Analog/steam gauges

Post by Snap »

Does anyone know about the Blue Mountain Lite/G3???
Seems like you get a great amount of features in a nice package. Auto pilot as well for $6200 ish.

Also does the encodeing for alt transponder.

For redundancy you can still put some small steam gauges on the panel to be safe.

Seems like a great thing to me.
know anyone useing or puting one in there machine?

I have installed the Blue Mountain SPORT, just a little bigger than the Lite. This is an awesom EFIS, I have also the GNS480 which I finished wiring last week. Greg has one very stable EFIS.

Mike, are you flying yet? I'm in San Jose, CA -- would love to see your EFIS if you live in Northern California.
