Last fall we sold a 1977 C182 and replaced it with a 1999 C182. Yesterday we finally got the plane back after getting new avionics and a new flat panel. Main draw is the 10" Garmin G3X Touch with G5 backup (same as our other 4 "higher end" aircraft). We ended up going with the certified JPI EDM 930 so we ended up removing a bunch of engine instruments on this aircraft, where the other 3 have the non-certified JPI EDM 830, so on those aircraft we kept the original engine instruments, fuel gauges, etc.

Our next "standardized upgrade that'll make us swallow hard" includes likely autopilot updates. Our existing STEC 30 units (in 3 of the 4 aircraft with autopilots) are no longer well supported by the manufacturer...

Yep. That is where we are leaning. But, of course, I'd really, really like to get the coffers to re-fill a bit before heading down that path. Cuz it would mean G500x4 aircraft.

John,
Yes, Kurt did amazing work; he did my ADSB-In/Out system update and a couple of other things. Not sure how the new guys will work out; I called recently with a technical question. Person who answered didn't have an answer but wrote it all down and assured me they would call back.
Still waiting...
There are other shops.
