REFLECTOR: Pilots report cockpit power failures

[Lawrence Epstein]

This is why I am using GRT (with dual AHARS) as my main system and a Dynon
(on a separate Bus) as a back up.

The thinking is that all systems have unpredictable failure modes and by
having 2 different systems, the likelihood is that the failure modes will
be different.
