I had the Vision VM1000 with the annunciator, and flew with it for 450
hours. I had some issues with it so along with my engine upgrade I'm
installing a GRT 6000 with the Graphical display that can be upgraded to
an EFIS anytime. I will be mounting the GRT 6000 right in front of the
pilot as an annunciator and aux control panel, the Graphical display
will be in front of the Co-Pilot where the Vision used to be.
The issues I had with the Vision, unreadable it in bright light or high
contrast situation, out of limit parameters were set at factory so I
couldn't change them, custom alarm parameters were not available, their
mark($$) up on sensors is in the 200/300% range(outrageous), could not
silence an alarm condition. I flew for 4 hours with a low voltage alarm
flashing in my face. I don't know how many of these issues they have
rectified with the newer version.
