Greetings,

I am a consultant/writer who is working on a systems integration project for glass cockpits, and am interested in receiving feedback from avionics integrators who have installed glass cockpit systems.

  • What aircraft received the retrofit/upgrade to glass cockpit?
  • What systems have you installed (PFD, MFD, other)?
  • What brands (Garmin, Avidyne, Honeywell, Sagem Avionics, etc.)?
  • Why did your customer select that brand?
  • Did the company/brand provide adequate installation and integration instructions?
  • What third-party avionics components did the system need to interface with?
  • What challenges did you face when installing and integrating the components?
  • What advice would you offer to others or new aircraft mechanics who will be performing such integrations?
  • Is there anything else you'd like to share?

Thank you,
-Tiffany
