AVIONICS & INSTRUMENT UPGRADES

A panel that fits
the way you fly.

Instrument replacements, avionics upgrades and panel improvements begin with your aircraft, existing equipment and intended use.

Start with the mission

Tell us what works today, what needs attention and what you want to improve. Local flying, longer trips and changes in operating needs can lead to different equipment choices. A phased upgrade may be worth discussing when you want to plan future additions.

We can discuss equipment compatibility, installation requirements and related aircraft maintenance. The scope depends on the specific aircraft, its current installation and the equipment selected.

Useful details for an upgrade conversation

  • A clear photograph of the complete panel and equipment names or model numbers, if known.
  • Aircraft make, model and registration, along with installed-equipment records.
  • Symptoms of unreliable equipment and when those symptoms occur.
  • The capabilities you want and any future upgrades you are considering.
  • Preferred timing and a budget range you are comfortable discussing.

What can affect the estimate

Equipment & compatibility

Equipment selection, existing components, panel space, installation data and the intended use all influence the project.

The installation underneath

Wiring condition, access, previous alterations and related discrepancies can affect labor and materials after evaluation.

Plan the installation as a whole

Discuss equipment, installation scope, applicable checks and records together. Confirm any required specialist testing or outside work before scheduling; those arrangements should be clear before the aircraft arrives.

Service boundaries: We do not offer propeller overhaul, instrument overhaul, pitot-static or transponder testing, or paint services.
