I'm thinking of possibly installing an Auto Pilot in my -9 and need some help deciding where to put the AP head in the panel.
My -9 is currently a VFR only ship but sometime in the future I would like to upgrade it to IFR so the location of the head might become critical.
Ergonomics are very important to me so the location is critical.
Click on this to see a picture of my current panel:
I have become partial to the chart clip to the left of the radio stack. Thus I prefer to leave that area of the panel blank so I wouldn’t have to lift charts/approach plates to get to the AP head.
This left me thinking of installing the AP head either below the EFIS but to the right of the slip ball or on the right side of the panel, underneath the EMS to the right of the radio stack.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated, especially from those of you who fly a lot of IFR in your RV's.
