You are probably right=2C but some manufacturers are marketing pure electro
nic AI's and DI's.I think MGL is one=2C and RC ALLEN have a certified one f
or a few grand. I don't see any mention of GPS coupling. So what makes one
a joke and another that works ? I don't like any of the EFIS units=2C but a
m very interested in replacing my vacuum gyros with same size electronic ga
dgets.

While I agree with you that most of these devices are unsuitable for infli
ght use=2C the reason for that lies is the product design=2C not the techno
logy. Solid state technology certainly can deliver accurate signals to fly
in IMC if they are designed and tested for that purpose. The ipad=2C iphon
e etc.. were designed for an entirely different purpose=2C so we should not
blame the technology for their lack of performance in an airplane.=0A

I remember being told the same thing about GPS back in 1997. The old ADF w
as considered far more flight worthy than the GPS. =0A

Most of these things are a joke. They measure the direction of gravity so o
n the ground they appear to work=2C but while pulling G's they show the wro
ng thing. Even when implemented correctly you have the problem that solid s
tate gyros have a very high drift. They work only a few minutes if they are
not corrected by some external reference=2C like a GPS signal. And that ma
kes them pretty useless.

Hi Graeme=2C
A friend of mine showed me his new Samsung with Android=2C and an app which
cost $ 1.87 and it is an attitude indicator. I thought it was absolutely a
mazing=2C very sharp resolution and instant response. Stick it on your inst
rument panel and away you go.=0A
