Advanced Navigation & Communication: -Avidyne IFD-540: A top-tier GPS/Nav/Com touchscreen navigator with Bluetooth audio streaming and Wi-Fi for wireless database updates and flight plan transfer from tablets. -Trig TY-96A Comm Radio: A modern, reliable secondary communication radio. -Remote Transponder: An ADS-B "Out" compliant transponder with a built-in "Traffic Bundle" for receiving ADS-B "In" traffic data directly to your displays. System Integration & Autopilot: -The Aspen PFD includes an ACU (Autopilot Control Unit) specifically interfaced with the existing Century 41 autopilot, modernizing its control and functionality. -An EA-100 interface unit is installed, which allows the advanced Avidyne IFD-540 to communicate with and control the older Century autopilot for sophisticated GPS-guided flight. Engine Monitoring & Audio: -JPI EDM-900: A high-resolution, 4-cylinder engine monitor that replaces all factory engine gauges, providing vastly superior data and trend monitoring for safety. -Avidyne AMX-240 Audio Panel: A modern audio panel with Bluetooth for wireless phone and music connectivity. Custom Fabricated Panel: An installation of this magnitude (2024 Avionics) necessitates a completely custom-fabricated instrument panel. The old "steam gauge" panel would have been removed and replaced with a new metal sub-panel, cut and designed to seamlessly integrate the large Aspen and Avidyne displays while maintaining a professional and clean layout. This is a complete panel transformation. |
