The use of single switches is a departure from the SDS recommendations but I feel the risk of this change is negligible given the switches I am using. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the interesting things I have been able to do with the Garmin G3X is to dispay warning messages on the EFIUs whenever only a single ECU or single coil pack has been selected. This helps minimize the possibility of taking off on a single ECU or coil pack (somewhat analogous to taking off on a single magneto in a traditional aircraft).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost\/rv10ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Clip3-1.bmp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1093\" width=\"221\" height=\"239\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The switch at the right is the Honeywell 2TL1-12A switch used to control the ECUs and coil packs.
