Just joined the group.
We have a newly acquired Beechcraft Debonair and recently removed all the old steam gauges and replaced with Garmin Glass. Fabulous!

What is the tape stuff around the edge of the PFD screen?

Protection for the screen so it doesn’t get scratch.

No engine monitoring?

G3x has monitoring capabilities.

Yeah I know it has the option but it’s not displayed (I assume if you’re replacing required engine instruments then they must always be displayed).

True, I assumed it just wasn’t done yet, but all the steam gauges are still there, so maybe no monitoring (yet)

Yes,
Eventually we will upgrade again , but it’s down to cubic money now as we spent what we paid for the aircraft on avionics.
‘our next upgrade is the GARMIN Engine instrument package. I like it and JPI but sticking with Garmin has paid off so far.

All that protective is gone now. The panel is really striking,especially with the GI-275.

This the Final Result of the Garmin upgrade so far and what we were dealing about half way thru the installation.
