It’s probably $10 for the spring. The remainder of the $2985 balance is mostly insurance. I hate to say it but unless you’ve been involved in producing an STC or a PMA you wouldn’t believe it. Insurance to produce that part could easily run 40k per year. If one fails or is suspected to fail and a gear up happens you know who is getting sued. we have shelves a few STCs that would be safety enhancement ,ents, fairly cheap to produce. But wouldn’t be able to sell them at the price required to barely cover the insurance of it.

I have the Garmin AOA in my Bravo. I don’t have the G3X though. I have a G500. Same thing but they had to add the GSU 25 for its air data. Wasn’t sure what I’d think of it or how much I’d use it. But it didn’t take but one flight and I love it. If you have the G3X already I’d add it. Simple. It’s right in the line of sight. I’ve been teaching my 14yo son to fly it and for visual approaches and the transition from instrument to outside the cockpit it works great. You won’t be disappointed at all. The ones in the jets I’ve flown just have no resolution. Fast- on speed-slow. That’s it. So that’s why I didn’t know if it would be good. But like I said it’s totally worth it.
