Plane was down for about 3-4 months and there were several additions to the work scope along the way. Cost we about $80k all together. We hade to replace the speedbrakes to the electric version and replaced the fuel probes as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSMooniac Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Looks great! What is the push-pull cable/knob in the new blanking plate where the old A/P control used to live in the lower console? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtVandelay Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Great question! It is the Alternate Static PortThat’s where they moved mine, I think you need a placard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSMooniac Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Great idea! I did a console-ectomy and transplant as part of my throttle quadrant delete operation years ago, and I made a filler panel in that area and put my ELT switch there. Whenever I get around to doing the panel refresh, I think I'll move ALT STATIC down there too. Tom, I really like that you kept the EDM-900, or didn't add Garmin EIS. Did you already have it and love it? That is the boat I'm in currently...I want to keep my -900 but am unsure how I'll integrate everything. I really like it on the left side of the panel. I may opt for a location where you have the GFC500 controller. I also like all of the options you chose...modern IFR with enough redundancy without going overboard either.

I also like all of the options you chose...modern IFR with enough redundancy without going overboard either.I don’t think it will fit where the GFC controller is, unless you have a long body with a larger panel.Yes, I already had it and didn’t want to spend money for no additional functionality, the LED will grab my attention if something happens. I personally like the square presentation over round engine monitors. I could have move the Aera but it would make it harder to interact with. I don’t interact with the JPI and but it’s still within view.My primary goal was to have everything I interact with within a easy reach of my right hand. Secondary goals was to remove hard to find/repair equipment (switches, annunciator), clean up the panel and view (moved compass to panel).The JPI integrates fine with GTN, the only problem was with the GTN, I used up all the RS232 ports, so I don’t get ADSB IN on the GTN, but I get it everywhere else (Aera, G3X, and iDevice). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
