If you’re still flying behind mechanical instruments (a.k.a. steam gauges), odds are good that, probably sooner than later, one of them is going to fail. And you can only hope it will happen on a bright and sunny day. But no matter, a failed flight instrument means a trip to the avionics shop for a repair or replacement. And that can be a very expensive proposition.
Smart Glass Panel Upgrades
Key Takeaways:
- Failures of traditional mechanical flight instruments ("steam gauges") are common and often lead to expensive, complex repairs or replacements.
- Such failures present an opportune moment to upgrade to new-generation glass displays, which can be comparably priced to replacing a single mechanical unit.
- Upgrading to a glass display eliminates recurrent mechanical repair costs, comes with a warranty, and adds real value to the aircraft.
- These modern systems significantly enhance flight safety and situational awareness through features like synthetic vision, moving maps, weather, and traffic alerts.
