I fly a C2e daily for IFR operations. As others have said it is quite glitchy interacting with all the other avionics. The support is terrible, they come out with an "updated" firmware and it introduces more problems then solutions.


Example: The previous firmware revision was very touchy in the rate of roll. It would routinely overcorrect in heading mode because it would be too agressive with the rate of roll. They "Updated" the firmware and it fixed the rate of roll issue, but now the pitch in IAS mode is WAY out of control. I now have to fly all altitude changes in VSI mode because of the "updated" firmware. And we have no way to report to anyone the problems we are having with it to see if we can get them corrected in future updates. (And I even work for Metro)...

There are plenty of other little nuances that it does or doesn't do, too many to list here. But, I would say to stay away from it for now, until it get's a lot more of the kinks worked out of it.

It has the potential to be a good system and a solid performer, but with the lack of support we have no way to make it any better. Remember that the Airbus / Garmin systems have had YEARS of backing and trial and error to make their systems as good as they are today, this system could be super solid but it has light years to go before it ever performs like a Garmin or even the Airbus system.
