EFIS/Nav Display Survey

If you guys have a minute or two, consider fill out a survey. It is for my systems engineering graduate school capstone project. Designing a low-cost avionics upgrade for Part 23 certified and experimental aircraft. Thanks.

General Aviation EFIS & Navigation System — End-User Needs Survey

I am conducting this survey as part of a graduate Systems Engineering project at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. The project is investigating the feasibility of developing a low-cost Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) and navigation display for general aviation aircraft...

Bump.

Tried filling it out. Question 15 gives error to select one when I’ve selected one.

Done!

Same here. I cleared all the entries and it took that as a response and moved on

Thanks, I'll take a look at that error.

Man, I love the initiative and hard work. Good on ya.

But seriously, graduate programs need to get away from "do a survey". They blew 30 years ago, and they still blow. It does nothing but torment the student, literally begging people to participate, and really only serves to regurgitate whatever is already in the cone of silence.

And for the record, the last thing GA needs is a low cost EFIS. The same tech already exists, literally a dime a dozen. What you should really be thinking about is how to eliminate the crushing regulatory burden that goes with it, or, in fact, anything to do with GA. Like how to overhaul the PMA or STC process. That would actually add something to the "body of knowledge". A low cost EFIS system does absolutely zilch because parts costs have driven everyone away because the stuff that actually makes airplanes fly has gotten so expensive.
