non, please keep in mind that their attitude "gyro" algorithm requires vali
d airdata (and gps fallback) to prevent drift/tumbling. Every year at oshko
sh I ask if they have resolved their "edge case calculations" to remove the
airdata requirement, and the principles of the co. squirm, go into a long
round-about explanation and finally embarrassingly admit that they have not
. I am truly surprised, as the only situation when I might rely on the atti
tude indication is when I might be in potential icing conditions....- Giv
e one a test and gently blow into the pitot and watch it tumble merrily (as
the company's principle demonstrated to me 5 years ago).=0A=0AGrand Rapids
proudly explain that their EFIS attitude algorithms do not require any ext
ernal data (do they likely use their magnetometer?) which therefore may be
more suitable for inadvertent ifr flight.- They claim that you can keep t
heir units in a constant std rate turn (with no airdata or gps) with no dri
ft tendency (as demonstrated in their helicopter camera aiming application)
