I say, any EFIS that’s worth its salt will!

I agree!

I have the Advanced Flight Systems 3500EE and it works great during cranking.

Any EFIS that will not function during cranking is not worth having. Thats a required feature in my opinion.

Jim are you just trying to start an EFIS war? Smile

I made no provision for keeping my GRT Horizon 1 on line during cranking. I
knew it would not stay on line, and with other electronics I have on board,
I don't want it on line during cranking. I use the EIS for engine start,
and it works great. Here is my startup procedure.

Battery on line
Check EIS for warnings, make sure nothing unexpected is showing
Crank engine, monitoring EIS
With engine start, wait for oil pressure, check for alarms
Bring alternator on line
Start up GRT EFIS, A/P and other avionics

Wait a minute or so for EFIS and 430 to settle down, taxi and go.

Use paper checklist unit EFIS is on line. It was just yesterday that I got
the checklist loaded in the GRT, was using the BM lite. It was real nice to
have the parameters and data available in the check list.

I have been thinking about a second battery, but based on my mission
requirements just don't see a need.

It's the engine monitor that reboots for me when I crank. So I needed to
add a second battery even though I have 2 alternators.

FWIW, I have the same basic setup and do the same procedures (GRT EIS only
during start, then power everything else up). Works great and I have all
the info I need on the engine during and post start.

Not! No EFIS wars please.

I believe that most if not all of the EFIS technology available to us as experimental aircraft manufacturers is without a doubt the single best thing from a safety standpoint. We have systems that rival or surpass the best systems flying commercially. With the availability of on screen weather, synthetic terrain, moving map technology, audible alerts, highway in the sky to name just a few. All of these contribute to safer flying. I don't think anyone should be building in todays world without glass of some sort in the panel. Cost is not an issue.

It's all very good!

Still working on getting my first flight in a RV. (Hopefully mid April with Alex in Texas!) Wonder how that compares with a C-182? That has to got to be an apples to oranges comparison.
