    Dynon 182 Auto Pilot Approved

    I think you are thinking if the Aerocruze 100. The Dynon does have a yaw damper option in the Bonanza models. Their minimum altitudes very between models, but are very close to the GFC500. You don’t even need the AP Panel at all, but I think maybe your Baro was autocorrected to Nato somehow...

    Dynon 182 Auto Pilot Approved

    How are they significantly behind the GFC500 in capability?

    Dynon 182 Auto Pilot Approved

    There is certainly no prohibition. I would have to compare to know if the standard installation would work. It sounds like it would based on your comments.

    Dynon 182 Auto Pilot Approved

    I don't think the GFC500 works with the R/STOL. I know the Aerocruze 100 doesn't. Something about the way the ailerons are connected so they droop when the flaps at down. I don't know the system well, but I have heard things about it. It is yet to be determined for the Dynon...

    Dynon 182 Auto Pilot Approved

    Yes. It looks like that's the case. Just not the early 182-182D. Still waiting to see if it will work with the Robertson STOL mod.

    Dynon just announced that the 182E and newer 182's can now get the auto pilot installed with full approach capability.

    Is the Skybeacon/Tailbeacon still the cheapest and easiest ADS-B option?

    I have installed the beacons (both types) and the GDL82. The beacons are much easier, but I haven't had good reviews overall. I always recommend a new transponder like the Stratus ESG. Many planes with the beacon have a transponder older than I am. Yes, replacing the transponder with another of...

    New Glass Avionics Upgrade

    What aircraft model are you looking for? There’s a good chance you could do an IFR Dynon Skyview HDX system in your budget.

    New Glass Avionics Upgrade

    With some systems that would be enough. With others not even close, depending on what you want to end up with.

    Garmin GNS 750 vs Avidyne IFD 540

    Once you learn a system, it will make sense, no matter which one it is. However, the IFD makes a lot of things easier than the GNS for IFR and flight planning.

    Avionics Master

    You want your engine monitor on the main bus so it is on when you start your engine.

    Garmin G5 Driving an Aerocruze 100 (TruTrak)

    Yes it can, if you have the GAD29 with the G5.

    Public ADS-B Performance Report - Where Did I Go to?

    It often takes up to 20-30 minutes for a flight to propagate through the system to yield a report. It has been much better lately than back in 2019-2020, but it can still take some time.

    Cheapest IFR Panel - Starting from nothing?

    A Dynon HDX system with IFR GPS, radio, intercom and ads-b out would cost about $30,600. Add engine monitor and add-b in would take it to to about $36,500. This would include installation.

    Avonic upgrade on a FTP337G Reims

    I doubt you'll get option 1 for anywhere near your budget. I'd be very surprised if you could get option 2 for that budget either. I can't offer any quotes for the 337, but this is just my thought, shooting from the hip.

    Dynon Skyviews HDX in PA-28-180

    The Aerocruze 100 or possibly the Trio. It could still get a GFC500, I suppose, but the cost is much higher for that, and would require a G5.

    Dynon Skyviews HDX in PA-28-180

    That complete project cost $47,000.

    CGR-30P vs EDM-900

    I much prefer the EI. The JPI requires all sensors be plugged into the back if the screen itself. I think there are 5 or 6 connectors that plug into the screen. This makes for a lot of busy wiring right behind the panel. The EI has a remote data computer that has 3 37-pin connectors, and only...

    Experimental G5 install in lieu of Certified one

    Actually, the Dynon equipment costs the same whether certified or experimental. With the Dynon, you pay a 1-time $2,000 STC fee per airplane for permission to use the STC. All of the equipment is the exact same price as the experimental. With a Garmin system, each component has its own STC fee...
