GARMIN

This aircraft has been modified with a cut metal instrument panel and a Garmin upgrade comprising a GFC500 autopilot, Dual G5 Stack, GPS 175 WAAS Navigator, Aera 660 GPS/AHRS fitted in an AirGizmo dock. From Trig we have a TY96 Com and TT-31 ADSB Out/Mode S transponder fitted. The panel also has a JPI EDM-700 engine monitor, Fuel Scan 450 computer, Mid Continent Dual USB Chrono and a panel-mounted iPad. The current owner uses the Garmin Pilot app, which sends the route and its changes to the 175 and 660 GPS. The Garmin autopilot will follow a Garmin Visual Approach also which makes for serious capability once used wisely.

The current owner has updated the aircraft canopy rails, fitted a Concorde battery, LED strobes and LED Landing Light. The aircraft comes with an outdoor cover despite living in a warm hangar and a proper tow bar. Recently, the interior was refreshed with grey leather seats, side trims and a grey suede headliner. The Perspex is in good condition and there are shoulder harnesses for each seat position. The aircraft has all three wheel fairings fitted, and sharp eyes notice how everything is faired off, like the landing lights and Nav/Strobe lights.
