So I like integrated IT things. I have done Information Technology for 20 years. Currently I work for a controls systems visualization company. Dynon Skyviews seems to be the most integrated system out there. The idea of spending lots of dollars on components that don't integrate is silly to me. On a daily basis I have to answer questions about how to integrate software and data and things. I have a basic steam gauge panel. A tablet and phone for navigation with ADSB - IN with Stratux. Thinking about an Engine Monitor Dynon Skyview classic 7" with Engine Module + Engine monitor kit $2600+$600+$610 = $3800 - Would require Minor Mod - STC is a couple years away. Insight G3 = $3185 - STC PMA With the G3 I would have a good engine monitor. The Skyview would be install over on the other side of the panel and would get the following. Engine Monitoring Angle-of-Attack - upgrade "Six-Pack" Flight Instruments - backup on the other side of the panel.... would need to hooked into the pitot system- is this going too far? Would be the same as attaching a AoA to the pitot system. Autopilot Capabilities - Upgrade Mode S Transponder with ADS-B Out – Need to replace $2200.00 Currently TSOed 2020 FAA Mandate ADS-B Out Compliance – Not done yet Dynon COM Radio – Upgrade – 2nd radio is KING 170b Synthetic Vision - Mapping and Navigation - replace phone tablet. ADS-B In Traffic / Weather – Could hook Stratux up for temp adsb in When the STC becomes available I could buy the another screen and replace the primary instruments on the pilots side. do the adsb upgrade. Would need to obviously have a long chat with my IA. Remember my goals are Engine monitor, upgrade path, maintain my CB status.
