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:
- Mechanical flight instruments ("steam gauges") are prone to failure, leading to expensive repairs or replacements that often require sending units to the manufacturer.
- Upgrading to a new-generation glass display, like an Aspen Evolution EFD, can be a financially sound alternative, often comparable in cost to replacing a single legacy instrument.
- This upgrade enhances reliability, eliminates recurrent mechanical repair costs, significantly boosts safety and situational awareness, comes with a warranty, and adds value to the aircraft.
