Hey all,
I'm working with Stein on an IFR panel design for my RV10 and would love feebdback, specifically on
- Any items that you think are essential for IFR that are missing,
- what switches you like having right in front of you, etc for ease of use,
but generally would love thoughts. This design uses the new Aerosport 310 panel with the center throttle quadrant. Here's the panel, then a description of everything after the image:
On the Left:
On the left bottom row:
Center:
The circles on the left side of the center console are environmental controls.
Right:
I'm working with Stein on an IFR panel design for my RV10 and would love feebdback, specifically on
- Any items that you think are essential for IFR that are missing,
- what switches you like having right in front of you, etc for ease of use,
but generally would love thoughts. This design uses the new Aerosport 310 panel with the center throttle quadrant. Here's the panel, then a description of everything after the image:
On the Left:
- - parking brake pull handle (this should move under the console, I think)
- the square on the left is the built-in oxygen system controller
- “PDF update” is a software update slot.
- On the top left is the autopilot control panel (http://www.dynonavionics.com/docs/SkyView_AP_Panel.html) - the buttons aren’t actually going to be sideways. It comes in an actual horizontal version
- Top right is extra knobs for heading and altitude bugs and baro adjustment.
- Both panels are 10” touchscreens. Go technology!! http://www.dynonavionics.com/docs/SkyView_Displays.html
On the left bottom row:
- vent on the left,
- key,
- push button starter,
- toggle switches (would love feedback on what switches you’d like to see right in front of you)
- flap switch
Center:
- iPad mount up top
- radio panel
- IFR GPS
- Dynon COM radio panel http://www.dynonavionics.com/docs/SkyView_COM.html, for primary comms
- co-pilot trim lockout - the RV10 has a trim toggle on the stick, so if you flip this switch then your passenger can’t accidentally screw with the trim by leaning on the stick
- light switches!
- “APR” is the display for the EFII electronic fuel ignition system.
- the little dial on the right is a potentiometer for mixture. With EFII you don’t need a mixture level, but this pot allows you to move the preset fuel curve to the rich or lean side.
The circles on the left side of the center console are environmental controls.
Right:
- Another monster display and MFD update thing
- panel light toggle, I think?
- more switches!
- the two rectangles are for USB charging. (I’ll move these down into the center console.)
- ELT display
- another vent
