I think it unreasonable for anyone to expect me to visit every aviation internet forum and post such a message. I have been very forthcoming on many internet fora for over a decade about JPI, EI, and Insight as well as Garmin and Avidyne concerning their engine monitors. Rick, late-comers are welcomed to the party. It's good to have you interested. The fact that you are upset that there could be erroneous material in any manufacturer's manual is understandable. Being upset at me for not publicly degrading a company is, IMO, misguided. For starters, look at the G3 manual and determine at how it identifies that an engine is experiencing pre-ignition. The G3 software is not in harmony with the known effects of pre-ignition on EGT. It will mis-inform the pilot. They have detonation wrong, too. These could be seriously dangerous issues, don't you think? I had informed them of these errors (and others, along with supporting data) several years ago. I am encouraged that someone at Insight seems interested in examining these issues at this time. I applaud that.

Gentlemen:
I spent 1+20 on the phone this morning with Dan Broerse of Insight concerning the G3 and the issues that I think should be best addressed to make it a better, more useful instrument. Our conversation was extremely beneficial. I have committed to continue our conversation and provide any hard data that he may find useful to make appropriate changes to their pilot manual and the instrument. We spent adequate time on the science and the physics and were able to identify the contradictions within the pilot manual. I was impressed with Dan's approach and his sincere desire to understand these issues. This was time well spent for me and I hope for him as well. If he is able to effect the appropriate changes it should be beneficial to Insight as well as their customers.
