Ernie Martin is an unknown quantity at this point
I don't disagree that the Garmin "panel" is not good enough for an ILS approach. But the heart of my argument to get the FAA to reverse its decades-old policy is that these inexpensive EFIS units are the only reasonable alternative to prevent fatal accidents when you have a complete loss of powered aircraft instruments. And for that role only, I think the Garmin "panel" may be adequate*, thereby weakening substantially my main argument.
