GTS800 traffic system and TruTrak Flight Systems GX autopilot. Patey prefers three smaller screens over two or three larger ones. “Sure, a 10-inch wide horizon is nice, but 4 inches is more than ample,” he said. Logging 600 to 700 hours a year, much of it hard IFR in pursuit of his business in medical sales, he usually takes the Legacy because he doesn’t have to flip screen pages. “I can shoot an approach to minimums and never have to switch a page to see traffic or terrain,” he said. “So, my workload is gone. I don’t have to hunt and punch, and push and twist and click. It is the easiest, greatest panel I’ve ever had, bar none.” And, it’s fast. “Our true airspeed was 295 knots,” said Patey’s brother, Mark, of the three-hour trip to Oshkosh, Wis., from Utah, flying at 19,000 feet on oxygen. To easily monitor his saturation and heart rate, Patey mounted the CO Guardian sensor and readout just above the throttle. To further simplify his workload, he arranged all switches in order of operation and grouped them by mandatory and optional uses. Separate gated switches control the electronic ignition. There is no key for the Legacy, because Patey doesn’t like passing through one ignition circuit to get to the other. And, it has no steam-gauge backups. “One hundred percent of my panel failures have been my gyros and vacuums,” he said. A Dynon Avionics D10A EFIS survived almost constant “gentleman’s aerobatics” in his RV-6 without a failure, so he trusts it in the Legacy. And, it’s in line with the redundancy provided by the trio of G3Xs.
