Listing shows 511k -10’s. Should it say -10T ? Not being critical just trying to learn as I go.

Bruce, what is the deal with the iPad on the copilot side? Are there no copilot instruments?

 they are -10T-511K’s

I’m not sure if that’s an option on Controller.  Their interface is terrible.

The 3rd attitude indicator is the Ipad with a AHRS data via Flightstream plus a 3rd airspeed and altimeter on the copilot side.

I assume that the iPad isn't TSOd, so while it functions that way, it doesn't actually count as a legal attitude indicator?

Doesn’t need to be certified since there are 2 certified attitude indicators in the plane. As you know, G600 is about 100 times more reliable that the original iron gyro and 14 electric motor indicator. With the ipad, you have a 3rd data sourced and 3rd power source unit. Frankly I’d rather rely on a Garmin AHRS than an old air driven gyro but anyway, the FS also provides for a 4th or 5th attitude display on whatever devices are connected.  I use an old iPhone connected to FS 210 my Aerostar for the 3rd AI as well. I like it better than the G5’s that go red x’s all the time or the Sandels that are a total disaster  ...
