Hi have the following for sale from a 28V 252:

1) Engine gauge cluster 

2) Tachometer (2.25") 

3) MP Gauge (2.25") and transducer

4) ASI

5) KAS297B altitude preselect

6) KEA130A altimeter

7) KI525A system

8) KI256 Flight Director 

9) Ammeter (3 way - Alt 1, Alt 2, Load) (and V by pushing a button).  Also have the shunts if needed.

10) Standby vacuum system with dual manifold

You'll also need the KEA-130A encoding altimeter that @Aerodon has for sale if you don't already have one.

Fresh install…

I have the complete BK system, short two items…

No FD…

No altitude hold…

GPSS would be a newer upgrade that came after my plane was built…

 

When I was IFR current… biggest fear was missing an altitude level off…  very easy to be too distracted to notice in a timely way… (scan atrophy)

It would make sense to add, if it is a simple wiring job… addition.

Not very sensible if it requires chasing other bits and pieces…

The panel has the open space, but no cutout for it… probably needs a CB switch added in the panel to support it.

Best regards,

In 1996 I bought a Bravo that didn't have a Flight Director, so the A/P was a KAP150 not a KFC150. But it did have Altitude Pre-Select, one of the only ones I've seen that way (without a F/D yet had pre-select).

It was the first time I had used pre-select and that feature is great not only on the way up but the way down too. I never upgraded to a FD, but later after I sold it to Jimmy Garrison he added a FD (and upgraded to a KFC150) and flew the airplane for at least 6 years.

Back in 1996 the factory charged $4790 for the pre-select option. Since these units are coming on the used market frequently, pre-select should be able to be installed pretty reasonably now.

I had a KAP200 changed to a KFC200 - needed a new board in the A/P computer, changed the KG258 for a KI256 indicator and changed the mode controller.  Cost a few thousand in 2001, but well worth the effort.  No altitude capture ovalaible on that version of the KFC200.

I would think that a FD on a KFC150 would be an easy upgrade.  And probably not too difficult to do a KAS297 vertical speed with altitude capture.  First step is to look at the dash numbers and buttons on the autopilot controller.

I would do it.

Is the altimeter still available?

My 252 is KAP150 with KAS-297B.  So there are a few planes out there this way.
