To the original question here.other than popping a breaker where that might make sense, how does a person go about simulating all of these seemingly hidden failure modes. G1000 for example.īack in my day of steam gauges pre-gps there would of course be differences but jumping between similar aircraft (such as typical trainer piston GA) wasn't such a leap.ĪN HSI equipped plane isn't such a leap from one with a plane old DGĪ VOR indicator was pretty much like any other To me from the outside looking in at least, it seems like it would take many hours of study and practice to understand the various systems and failure points in any given aircraft.even between two planes operating the same primary units. ADHR's, power sources on separate busses, Magnetometers, etc.Īs a very rusty old-school pilot this seems to me to be a MAJOR pit-fall of the new stuff. Still worth practicing flying with limited info, and if possible have redundant ADC's. You still have VOR's but without DME, you have to use crossing VOR radials to determine position.ĪDC's lose speed, altitude, and in some less robust PFD's even attitude and roll You lose GPS track outside of limited DR dead reckoning mode You lose the moving map although it will go into dead reckoning mode You lose all ADS-B info including traffic, real TCAS still works if you have it. Military GPS jamming took out both aircraft GPS's as well as cell phone and iPad GPS's. So mimicking those modes by covering up relevant parts of the panel, or pulling CB's to those devices can mimic real life failures. You can lose all GPS, one or more ADHRS, one or more ADC's, magnetometers, and have power failures.
