Depends on what your intercom is. Some have capability for four, but for whatever reason are only wired for 2. Piggy backing the phones is easy, but not so much with the mic jacks. If your unit isn't built to support 4, you really need a new one. Or you can get a portable intercom...

Will, it might be worth your time to talk to USAA about insurance. I was talking to an insurance surveyor about a customers plane, and asked about his company covering E/AB, he recommended USAA as he got a better deal with them than even his own company would give.

Yes, an IFD540/550 is a direct slide in for a 530W. IFD440 is a slide in for 430W. There is extra work if replacing a non-WAAS unit. Unfortunately, that's about the extent of their line, replacing older units, nothing really new or stand-alone from Avidyne.

Just hung TIO-540's that were overhauled for about $57k each.

With the decommissioning of VOR stations, I would consider asking your avionics shop to test the system with a ground VOR tester. Only takes 15 minutes to go through all the heading and deflections to verify your set up. With 2 radios doing the same thing, look at the wiring.

At the shop I work at, we've been pushing them for folks that actually fly a decent amount. We do have a guy planning to install next oil change, but they are on back order. We've had 2 on order since May, so not much better than Champion and Tempest. And for our shop, unfortunately we have a...

I haven't looked into importing an EAB, but the RV-10 that AOPA gave away was built and registered in Canada, so there is a process.....
