In my RV-6A I currently have:
Dynon Skyview Touch
Apollo GX55
Val nav 2000
GRT Mini X
Garmin gtx 325 transponder (mode C, not WAAS)
U avionics ADSB. It’s not a beacon, may be an Echo UAT?
Two axis autopilot slaved to the dynon - forget the make
A thin com next to the Val nav
Picture of my panel here:
I want to be able to fly LPV approaches so I’m thinking of three options:
1. Replace GX55 with Garmin GPS 175- $4300 plus labor. Would I have to run a new GPS antenna for this?
2. Replace GX55, transponder, uavionics with Garmin GNX 375. $8000 plus labor, but I could sell the adsb and transponder. Might be able to keep the GPS antenna?
3. Replace GX55 and maybe nav/com with GTN 650. $10000 plus labor
Right now I’m leaning towards (2) because it seems like the simplest in terms of wiring everything together. I’ll likely do the labor myself.
What do you all think? Thanks in advance.
