also,
The problem is even more serious for Garmin’s aviation device customers. Pilots have told ZDNet that they are unable to download a version of Garmin’s aviation database onto their airplane navigation systems, which is an FAA requirement.
As an aerospace engineer, I always am humored when younger pilots/crewmembers say that a Garmin has superior features to the installed systems on their aircraft. I tell them that their installed systems are built to not give them the “blue screen of death” during flight. :)
P.S. My compromise has been to let them install the Garmin in a non safety capability to give them the best of both worlds.
