Does anybody have any experience flying with a single display EFIS, with
graphical engine monitor? Can you please share your impressions, mainly by
the fact to have to change from the PFD to the Engine page because of the
single screen.
Since I will have backup analog instruments for airspeed, altitude and
attitude, I'm thinking in saving some money not buying the second EFIS
display unit, hence need to know if anybody already flying thinks it is
perfectly doable.
TIA

The Op Tech EFIS screen is designed so that you have 4 engine gauges of
your choice displayed on the same screen as the HSI and the Moving map,
minimizing/eliminating the need to switch screens for the vast majority
of the instances.

So does the AFS-3400/3500. Well, actually more than 4, you get all the
essential engine instruments and then a few. Worth a check out if you are
going to go single screen. Do consider the single point of failure
however...

Carlos,
A bit of food for thought...
I have a BMA EFIS One and I absolutlely love it. I originally was going to
put all the engine instrumentation on the E1 to have a nice minimalistic
panel. For various reasons (chief among them was that I was convinced I was
going to install an auto-conversion -- which I ended up not doing). Anyway,
like you I have a backup AS and ALT and all steam gauges for the engine
instruments. This inadvertantly saved "down time" as my E1 had to go back
to BMA for some service work. Moral of the story: if you put everything on
one "box" it will probably be a non-event in the case of failure in VFR
conditions, but consider having to send your single EFIS unit back for
repair after you are down safe. You'll be grounded if you were relying on
that device for your engine instrumentation. Bottom line: I'd try to
conceive of some way to split the engine instruementation from the nav data
either by two distinctly separate EFIS boxes or a hybrid of EFIS + steam
gauges.
FWIW,
Peter
