Hi Everyone-
My panel design has gone through many revisions over the past couple of years. But it is now at a point where I am close to calling this one the final version. I would appreciate some input, to make sure I am not missing something that is obvious to everyone but me.
A bit of background, the design is for light IFR. I live in SoCal where after completion of the plane I plan to start training for an IFR ticket. I don't want to shoot minimum approaches, but I would like to punch through the local coastal clouds to go 'VFR over the Top'. I have also purchased an I0-320 with a precision eagle ems ignition and fuel injection system. This will provide automatic mixture, and not require any carb heat (there is electronic mixture for leaning after cruise).
- Lift Reserve Indicator, on an independent air source.
- TruTrak EFIS w/Auto Pilot III
- Garmin GPS 696 mounted in AirGizmo
- PMA9000EX Audio
- SL30 Nav/Com
- ICom A210 Back Up Com
- Garmin GTX 330 Transponder with traffic to display on 696
- TruTrak EMS BU
- Warning Light for power to Eagle EMS ECU
- Warning Light for Plane Power Alt Off
- Warning Light for B&C SD20 on, with flashing option if drawing over 20amp
- Under radio stack, electronic mixture control for leaning Eagle EMS ECU
- Blue Light on right side is TruTrak passenger button to activate AP hold course and altitude
- Switches from L to R; Battery Master, Electronic Ignition, Primary Alt, Back Up Alt, Avionics Master, Emergency Bus, Pitot Heat, AP Servos
- Switch under Radio Stack; Boost Fuel Pump
- Switches right side; Strobe Lights, WigWag - Landing, Nav Lights, Panel Lights
- Circuit Breakers; Primary Alt., Back Up Alt., Left ECU, Right ECU, Starter
I also have mounted an Andair throttle quadrant which has built in flaps switches as part of the throttle.
