Recommended avionics upgrades
No IFR GPS navigator is listed — a GTN 650Xi is the standard entry point for WAAS/LPV capability.
See prices & suppliers ›No autopilot is listed — a GFC 500 (or S-TEC 3100 / Trio Pro Pilot where the GFC isn't STC'd) adds a modern digital autopilot with envelope protection, subject to model approval.
See prices & suppliers ›Suggestions are based on the panel described in this listing; verify STC approval for this make/model before any installation.
