I only have to ask one question... WHY? You have the alerting function on
the EIS .. it's immediately available .. the EFIS takes a minute to come up.
I want to know about low oil pressure immediately. I also don't understand
why someone would up in another sensor .. you have the EIS. Anyone can do
what they want ... however I've been flying mine for 4 years and it
works wonderfully. Especially for those without dual busses .. who have to
turn on their EFIS by switch.

In the case below there isn't any additional sensors. The VP is the prim
ary electrical system so it's up before anything else and it simply takes d
ata feeds from the EIS and EFIS to redisplay. In most other cases I believ
e the EFIS has a backup battery to keep the EFIS online during cranking so
again, no additional sensors. I know when I was giving the GRT's serious c
onsideration I also planned on burying the EIS display. Not a lot of panel
space with the amount of stuff some of us are cramming in along with large
r displays so it's easier to hide the box and let it display on the EFIS or
a VP unit. Ultimately I went with the AFS stuff so it's no longer a conce
rn.

Yes, I concur. I have the alarms on the EFIS, and not the EIS which is buri
ed. The VP-200 handles all the annunciations and electrical alarms.
