Brief Description: Avionics Plan
|
|
Well, in 4 years, technology advances. My state of the art PFDs are now outdated. I want ADSB traffic and weather. This is subscription free - saves $1,000 a year. And it gives more information than the $50,000 worth of avionics I put in the twin.
And, I want to use Vertical Power to wire the plane - this will make a lighter, neater system and will move a lot of the wiring mess from behing the avionics panel.
The trouble is, both of these items require upgrading the EFIS boxes.
But there is good news - the new boxes seem to be stable. They are brighter. THe CPUs are faster. And, there are important improvements. The new system provides Synthetic Terrain. That is way-cool.
So, I am pretty much committed to upgrading.
But, this time, I will do the wiring first, and hold off buying the hardware until I am closer to finishing.
The goal is to fly in the spring. That seems very doable at this point. But then, again, it did 3 years ago too...
