I tried looking up the definition of EFIS but there was no one definition that really answered my question. Is this a deal breaker for Atlas? Also, I am guessing that Atlas favors the prior Heavy guys? I am a Navy guy with a C-2 background and most recently IP time in the T-6A, neither of which are very large...
I don't know if it's correct, but I haven't been counting the T-6 as EFIS. We really don't have a FMS or a MFD, yeah technically we have glass, but I don't believe it is considered an EFIS though I could be incorrect. (if it is, it would be an extremely basic EFIS system) I guess I'm curious about the answer too.
