soooooooooooooooo for us dorks who really don't know what a GT-702 and mnr16 grapple ADAHRS modulator actually DO.....
what would it cost for the most basic Skyview, fully functional, in my panel?...with the harnesses and gadgets to make the pretty colours light up?
( yes I realize there are a few options, but help a guy out? I did try the online system calculator....but it made my nifty $2000 upgrade into an $8900 nightmare....please waken me from this h#ll???)
A complete basic 7" SkyView system - with mapping and ads-b in traffic and weather - that meets the terms of the rebate looks like this:
The above makes some assumptions, like you want a 7" display to replace a FlightDEK-D180, perhaps, and that you already have engine probes from your legacy install. It also doesn't include a radio, intercom, or autopilot. But you would have full primary flight instruments, engine monitoring, moving map / navigation, transponder with 2020-compliant ADS-B Out, and ADS-B In (traffic and weather).
If you had a FlightDEK-D180 superbright model, you'd be eligible for a $2438 rebate (based on the schedule
here)
So your total cost, after rebate, in this example would be $5982.
There's also an even less expensive option, which is a SkyView SE system. SkyView SE omits mapping, synthetic vision, and other capabilities (see
this comparison) with the simplest interface possible. It's basically a SkyView-based equivalent of our D100/D120/D180 models, with the ability to be ADS-B Out compliant. To make that system, you'd replace the $2700 SV-D700 display with the $1850 SV-D600 display, and you wouldn't buy the SV-ADSB-470 receiver (SkyView SE does not have mapping capabilities, so there is no traffic or weather display). So in that case, after rebate, you'd be looking at $3137 after the same rebate.
