I have been asked to re-address the issue of new EFIS Systems that are
coming to the marketplace, specifically the Blue Mountain system (EFIS-One)
In a previous post, I made mention that we aren't currently supporting the
EFIS-One because we haven't fully tested their system in our test aircraft.
To elaborate on our testing with Blue Mountain, Greg Richter (owner) met
with me in late January.  The purpose of his visit was to introduce us to
his system, install the system in one of our aircraft, and flight test it.
Greg did show up to find that UPS (shipping company) had caused damage to
his product which led to the system not working.  In fact, Greg has a claim
pending with UPS for the damage.  Greg told me he would have a replacement
unit sent for us to test, which didn't happen.  After talking with Greg
Monday, he offered to bring a working unit (in hand this time) and meet with
me next week.  Because we are getting ready for Sun N Fun, I've asked Greg
to schedule his visit after we return from Lakeland, at which time I will
perform complete testing on this new EFIS system and report back to the
list.  I want to make clear that I am not currently supporting his system or
offering it to our customers until we test the product.  Like most of you
inquiring about this inexpensive EFIS, I want to know that it works.  I want
to know what to expect for $9600.  I will post a full report in late April
along with an update on other products coming to market.  Additionally, if
any of you have questions regarding any of the available EFIS systems, you
are welcome to contact me at kirkh@lancair.com
