hypertech Posted April 8, 2019 Report Posted April 8, 2019 I just heard from my avionics shop and Trek from Garmin - the FIKI limitation has been removed from the G5: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/aviationalerts/g5-electronic-flight-instrument-removal-of-fiki-limitation-and-preparation-of-g5-installation-for-g3x-installations-using-a-g5-as-a-standby-instrument/ That means the G5 can now be a backup for G500 TXi and G3X systems in FIKI planes and FIKI long bodies can now get the GFC500. Seeing as how I *just* overhauled the KI-256 (Bob Bramble was really great for that btw), my next task will be sorting out how this fits into my avionics plan. 3 Quote
Tony_Hale Posted April 13, 2019 Report Posted April 13, 2019 In related news, the FIKI limit was removed by specifying installation of unobtanium wire. I hope some other wire makers starting making this stuff. It went from $5/ft to $10/ft if you can even get it. Quote
