Great pics! Mann are the displays really that bad? Here I was thinking a 732 panel was glassless!Wish we had that kind of display on the 767
Have you flown the Avidyne?Maybe I'm just used to having them there...but I'm not a big fan. Better than the Avidyne at least
Have you flown the Perspective (or straight G1000)? Much better than the Avidyne.Have you flown the Avidyne?

Why such a low TAS? I flew a Turbo SR22 GTS yesterday and it was only good for 175ktas at 6500. Normally aspirated Mooney Ovation is good for 180-185 at that altitude and at a lower fuel flow.
Ha. No HBO, but it's fun to do cross countries on Saturdays in the fall. You can get the college games piped into the head sets on XM radio.Nice pics. Can you get HBO in there while you're on a VFR XC? Anyword on the MTBF for that?
Wish we had any of display on the 747
There's been some discussion of that on the cirrus pilots website. If memory serves, the general consensus puts it down to the prop. I guess those huge flat blades aren't quite as efficient down low.Why such a low TAS? I flew a Turbo SR22 GTS yesterday and it was only good for 175ktas at 6500.

Right, I wasn't saying that he was right or wrong. I know him from another aviation forum and have seen him say something along the lines of "...those fly much better than those stupid airbusses" So I was just wondering if this time he actually had some experience in what he was talking about.Have you flown the Perspective (or straight G1000)?

I fly a normally aspirated G3. I seem to be able to turn out the best TAS at 7,000. A turbo is going to shine up where you have to suck O2. It looks like the OP was running Lean-Of-Peak (LOP) power settings (2570 RPM, 23.8" MP, 14.8 GPH). At a 60*C ROP, I can turn out about 170-175 on 18.5ish GPH. The tuned injectors on the Cirrus' TCM engine really run smooth at LOP settings, but the only time I do so is when I'm stretching fuel with a destination that is IMC.Why such a low TAS?
