> Glenn, Let's put it this way, the old round dials need back up EFIS panels
more than the reverse. I fly for Southwest Airlines and our new 737-700 uses
all glass EFIS displays. In the past 5 years since we started buying
the -700 our maintenence costs on instrument repairs have been cut to 1/10!!
They never break. I use a Tru-Trak Electronic T&B in my RV4 and it is
flawless, an electronic round dial! My neighbor has a Dynon EFIS and it too
works extermely well.Even the F16 with it's old round dials is software
upgradedable to EFIS.
