Adding Heat and an EFIS Backup System
Canard Boulevard
The heating system in my airplane is pretty much non-existent. Now that we are into November and December, that's a real problem! In addition, the EFIS system in the airplane has no backup: if the alternator, battery or other critical component of the electrical system fails, I lose my primary attitude indicator, navigation, engine instruments and everything else my EFIS does for me. I do have a battery-backed backup attitude indicator with GPS-derived speed and altitude, but the Garmin G3X supports backup power, so let's use it! I install an EFIS backup battery as well as an on-board charger to keep it fully charged, then install a new, high-output heater fan to draw more warm air into the cockpit.
