For those interested, uAvionix stated today that the HSI and autopilot integration for the AV-30 is still being worked. Getting AVmag certified has been the bigger issue, but the others have not been dropped. For those with the skyBeacon, and wanting ADS-b in they are getting skySensor TSOd for...

I’m happy to ask them tomorrow, they have a group at the AEA show, but the rep today did say low.

Aspen training today discussed much as Damon stated. I’d have your aspen updated to 2.12, and your Arinc429 ports set to low speed. That should help with your issues.

I don't live up there any more, but my sister is in Zeeland and Ottawa Executive, Z98, I know has a club and rental situation with a handful of types. Lavion Aero.

Depends on the JPI, not all are certified as primary so the OEM stuff must be kept.

FWIW, it's all of them. Dynon quoted me 5 months for a 10" Skyveiw HDX display when building a quote for a customer. Even in the E/AB world, there's a significant delay. GRT told me ~15 weeks for their 10" Horizon display.

RG-35AXC are sealed, don't need to be serviced with electrolyte prior to use.

Just went through that with a Chieftain, PA31. Dual Aspens on the left, single on the right, only kept vacuum pumps for the boots. We wound up tying the hoses together, and putting a cap on the suction line with a hole in it as a restriction. Piper support was no help, as the avionics are not...

May not be as nice as an integral light on a CDI, but is an option in the 400W series install manual. GPS and VLOC source output wires are separate outputs from P4001. To keep a functioning unit, adding an external indicator works. Some install options can also be used to ID autopilot source.

Or you can put in an external annunciator for LOC/GPS.

Agree about 121/135. All the time in the facebook A&P group folks are asking about pay scales at the majors, don't see too many talking up the GA world. Biggest reason I can throw wrenches at GA is I get a retirement from the Navy.

Aspen resells overhauled units, as well.

Late to get back, but you are correct Mark. Aspen is green for all nav modes. I might have been thinking of the active leg on the map, rather than the HSI information. I apologize if I caused any confusion.

I'll have to dig in the book tomorrow at work. It's possible (probable?) that I'm mixing thoughts on the E5 and the Max. I will get back on with what I find then.

I don't disagree with the apples/oranges comparison. From my perspective as installer, the Aspen is nice because it's only 1 connector plus pitot and static. If mounted in a "clean" area the RSM will start with no heading adjust either. Not saying it's better or worse than G5's, just another...

Yes an Aspen E5 will allow vacuum system removal. We quote 6 hours at our shop to fully remove the system and plumbing. Wiring it to your system would likely be 20-25 hours. A little more difficult than under the panel of a Cessna, but not terrible. I was 50 hours to install an E5, ACU to an...

You are correct, I misremembered. The turn coordinator must be kept.

Aspen requires a backup attitude for IFR installations. I'd loose a CDI and put an AV-30 in.

Hours depends on what you're interacting with it. Just into the panel with a GPS will be much shorter than if you are adding an ACU and EA100 for a legacy autopilot interface. Only 1 connector on an Aspen, so that does go pretty quick, about 20 hours if no autopilot in a C182 is what Aspen...

They could, but I wouldn't. You leave the wires too exposed for potential damage. If your A&P is on your field, remove the interior yourself. Your pic looks like a Cessna, seats, carpet, floor inspection plates and side panels aren't that difficult, but add time. If you do it, then the shop...
