It has been a long road to get here. I dropped my Saratoga off back in Mid October right after I bought her for an annual and new panel.
The old panel consisted of a
Garmin 430 Non Waas coupled to a King HSI
KX155 non Glide Slope coupled to a KI-208
King ADF
Older King Transponder
KFC-200 Autopilot
WX1000 Storm Scope
KMA24 Audio Panel
I essentially ripped out everything except the autopilot and the storm scope and started from scratch. I installed
-GTN 750 to replace my 430. I love the bigger screen and integration it has.
-Aspen Pro 1000- replaced all my 2 vacuum system instruments with the Aspen. I also installed the Altitude pre select option along with the EA100 to drive the auto pilot.
-PMA 8000BT audio panel with blue tooth. I must say so far it has amazing sound
-I installed a Garmin SL30 to replace the old King 155. I also coupled this to Garmin 696 to feed GPS info to the SL30.
-Installed a GDL 88 for ADSB compliance, this is coupled to the flight stream 210.
-GTX 327 Transponder
-RCA-2600 back up artificial horizon and backup battery installed
Garmin 696 installed and coupled to the 750 to receive flight plans from the 750
EDM 900- had all of my old Analog gauges removed
Also had a complete new panel installed at the same time.
I was at the shop yesterday and got a chance to fly her, now today I get to go back and pick her up. I will give a better Pirep report once I have a real chance to fly her and get a feel for the new instruments.
