Was reading "Ask the DAR" today in Kitplanes and it has me a little concerned about the upgrade we are doing to our -6 and if a re-certification is required.
Here's the scenario. We are doing a complete panel redo. Replacing a D10A (moving it to back up status), adding two new AFS units, GTN-650, Trig TX, and ADS-B in/out capability. The airplane currently has a Digiflight II VS autopilot and we are swapping it for the AF Pilot.
Will we be requiring a new inspection, certification and test period of 40 hours?
What have you guys had to do after redoing your panels? I'm thinking it would be a major pain in the you know what if we have to go through a re-certification and 40 hours of Phase 1 flying.
