Re: Questions from ADS-B install procrastinator - TailBeacon?

How does one gain compliance for operating in Canadian airspace if diversity with built in GPS combo is not offered? I was under the impression that the 335R is mostly plug and play. Am I wrong? What makes up the bulk of the 40 hours I was quoted for the 345R installation? Does most of the labor app...

Re: Autopilots are the answer, not the problem...

Is there any reason that a Dynon Skyview replacement for G1000 is not being discussed? It includes autopilot built in and servos cost $750 each. Here is an estimated cost summary for Cessna (about $35,000 installed): https://www.dynoncertified.com/pdfs/Cessna-172-Price-sheet.pdf In October, I asked ...

Does most of the labor apply to the 335R as well? I wasn't thinking about the diversity version. How do I know if I need the Garmin with built ...

Re: Questions from ADS-B install procrastinator - TailBeacon?

Would the GTX335R be the best choice for just ADS-B out? What should I expect for installation time / cost? The reason that I am looking for cheapest ADS-B out is that I am not thrilled with Garmin and I anticipate ripping out the G1000s and replacing with Dynon or similar option if it become availa...

Re: Questions from ADS-B install procrastinator - TailBeacon?

Tailbeacon would be a challenge in a DA40. This is designed for planes with a tail-mounted white position light. And the Skybeacon is also incompatible with the wingtip mounted A600 (or its LED equivalent replacement options) Thanks for the response. Would Skybeacon be compatible if the "SkyLi...

Re: Questions from ADS-B install procrastinator - TailBeacon?

Does GDL-82 not work at all with G1000 or just not ADS-B in? Can I just do the GDL-82 for compliance without having ADS-B in? The only option you listed that will work on your G1000 DA40 is the GTX-345R. The Garmin 45R is the experimental/homebuilt (not certified) aircraft version of the GTX345R. Th...

Questions from ADS-B install procrastinator - TailBeacon?

I am the owner of one of the Air Force training DA-40s which is a 2009. I believe that it has a WAAS GPS source (though WAAS option was not purchased) and it does include TAS-600 traffic. I am in the Seattle area and I was only able to get one quote for an ADS-B install. The quote is for GTX-345R in...

Re: Replacing back-up Attitude Indicator

Are there any new developments here? Any chance that a certified backup attitude indicator will integrate with an ADS-B out in the near future? There was reference to rule changes that would allow more leniency for certified aircraft? Is that still in the works? Are there any reasonable cost rebuild...
