 Posted: Sun Mar 10, 2019 6:01 am Post subject: Access to PA28 panel ? |
 |
|
Hi all,
An old buddy just contacted me for the installation of a Garmin GNS 430
in his old Piper PA28 Arrow II.
He is taking charge of the paperwork.
I just saw the aircraft, and the panel is a collection of antiques,
KX155 and Narco MK 12D, Bendix ADF-T12D, DME, ILS indicator, the lot.
Some of those items will have to make place for the GNS 430, which I
know how to install, contrary to the peculiarities of the rest of the
old stuff.
The wiring is a mess and I suspect I'll have a hard time sorting wires out.
Here is my questions :
Does any gentleman here have any suggestions as to what would be the
best way of accessing the rear of the panel ?
Is it conceivable to remove the whole panel, rewire it on the workbench
and then put it back into the ship ?
Thanks for any input,
--
Best regards,
Gilles

Typically one would make up a wiring loom for all the interconnected units and indicators, and install the loom behind the trays, then slide the units back into the trays. Some connections can be left until the loom is installed (to the audio panel, for example.)
A lot depends on how you want to install the GPS. What are you going to use as an indicator?
Is it an IFR installation? You will likely need sign-off from an avionics shop if so.
It can be a *VAST* project to integrate a GPS into an existing panel (I”ve done it) - tens or hundreds of hours of work to sort out the installed wiring, remove what’s not needed, and add what is.
