I need to know where it gets: a. altitude b. airspeed c. barometric pressure d. vertical speed If it gets most of these from the AHRS, can this data be used by the autopilot? Can conventional instruments be rigged to provide backup for the autopilot and EFIS in case the AHRS fails? I will be using an S-tec 55 autopilot with altitude preselect. Can I use the same input data as the EFIS to inform the autopilot of the data it needs? Or will I need to use conventional instruments for the S-tec? Also, I think I've seen some of your literature indicating a VFR GPS is packaged with both the EFIS 1000 and EFIS 2000, but one of your brochures shows the VFR GPS as not included with the EFIS 2000. Which is true? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
