Post a picture of the panel in the plane(s) you fly most often. Tell us what year/make/model aircraft it's from, and if you own, rent, borrow or stole the plane.
 
I own the Fairchild 24

You threw me off for a minute thinking that was a simulator since it looks like it's indoors. Then I realized that was the hangar door. :redface:
 
I fly a 1978 Warrior. I don't know how to post pictures, but my panel is exactly the same as Scott's, only different. I don't have one of those fancy G-430 or whatever he has there. My panel is not black, but kinda an ugly dirty light tan color. Other than that, most of the stuff works, most of the time. Having a few colorful adjectives at the ready, seems to help a lot

Excellent, I love your restoration.

Thank you


Did you decide not to sell, or just no buyer yet?

I took it off the market, while I rebuild the engine, and the market for any toys is so bad it's almost a waist of money to advertise it again.

Thanks for kicking the thread off, Tom! What is her fuel burn?

running 1950 turns it uses 9 gallon per hour, and about 1 qt of oil in 35 hours.

Minimalist? I did most all my IFR training with less, except I had a compass. With a compass that's an IFR panel.

Edit, just caught you have no Nav radio...

...nor does it have a DG or AI...

Neither DG nor AI are required for IFR nor did I have use of either for about 38 out of my 40 hrs if IR training. (plane had a valve the instructor could "fail" the vacuum with, even making it fail slowly...)
 
LOL... I'll spare everyone another photo of a Cherokee panel and make room for people with more interesting airplanes. I do have a 496 where Scott's AM radio is located, my audio panel where the CO detector is, and my intercom under my KX-155. The interior is shades of dove grey and charcoal grey. Airplane is a Piper Archer (PA28-181). :)

Merlin GT. First flown in 1998.

You are'nt going to do IFR training with mine (the turn coordinator doesn't work). But you gotta admire the plush interior.

And. Check out this avionics stack (try not to drool!!!) - Com radio, intercom AND a transponder (with Mode C no less).

:goofy:

I have no idea why the mirror was stuck there.

You may want to take another gander at 91.205

Maybe he didn't file during his training. The airplane doesn't have to be IFR legal to do IFR training in it - except for the long XC.

We had them, I took my ride in the same plane, they were just always "failed".

Hmmm, what year did they add 8&9?
 
This is the only panel picture I have of my airplane, I guess I need to take one sometime.

Something is missing here. I know that Hal Shevers successfully pushed through a change that allowed the TC or T&B (gyroscopic rate-of-turn indicators) to be replaced by a second attitude indicator but the current 91.205 doesn't reflect this as far as I can see.
 
just a bush plane panel....

This picture is the latest I have but there've been a few changes since it was taken. The EX500 was upgraded to an EX600 (larger screen with panning), the yoke was flipped, and an ELT remote control was added.

Here is my formerly steam gauge DA40 converted to a Garmin G500 panel. I was flying pretty low for IFR and must have been trying to avoid worse headwinds at higher altitudes. There is also a steam gauge turn coordinator and Davtron temp gauge/clock on the co-pilots side not seen in this photo. The shop that installed the G500 did a great job, note how well the altitudes on the G500, analog altimeter and A/P agree.

I fly a 1958 PA-22 Tripacer. The panel is a cross between kind of nice and well used. Here is a picture of most of it.

That's pretty nice although how do you position your hands at 10 and 2 o'clock on the steering wheel? :D
 
79M's panel before we replaced the cracking panel covers earlier this year and took out the ADF.
