Check out the AvMap products -- Ultra EFIS or EKP V with A2. They connect to the pitot-static system, provide map, ADAHRS, etc. In complete panel failure, it should cover everything except the engine info. Haven't tried it, but something to check out.

I am rethinking my backup flight instrumentation plan.
The primary instrumentation will be a single GRT HXr with dual AHRS and an android for a second/backup screen.
Originally, I was going to have a three-pack of 2-1/4" steam gauges (attitude, airspeed, altitude).
But then I decided on one of the small EFIS units. Specifically the Dynon D6. Less space and lower cost.
Then I saw the D1 Pocket Panel. I'm now thinking of semi-permanently mounting this in/on the panel and running it off ships power (The internal battery is supposed to be good for 4 hours). These list for $1425 but are currently discounted at Spruce for $1195.
Granted, things like airspeed and altitude are derived from GPS data, but considering that this is a backup of a backup, it should be sufficient.
Just looking for opinions.

P.S. Can anyone access the reflector archives? I haven't been able to get in to them for over a year.
