HOW TO UPGRADE YOUR AVIONICS
Continued from page 49
require a pretest of any pre-owned box you want to install. In
many cases, they will do it even if the unit has a valid 8130
tag. It's just an added bit of insurance, but it does come with a
bench-test fee.
" We see it frequently in pre-owned, where it's tagged
'Serviced. No-Fault Found.' But, when we install it, the piece
doesn't work in the panel, " Eddy added. " It's frustrating for
the aircraft's owner and us. It adds to the time and cost of the
project. "
If you think pre-owned is a good option for your situation, he
stressed the need to ask the seller what their policy is regarding
replacements or warranties on the unit. You just don't want to
get stuck paying for the unit and then paying again to repair or
replace it.
" The buyer needs to do their homework to know that the
flat-rate repair costs are for today's avionics and instruments, "
Gallagher cautioned. " If it's a Garmin radio, it can only be
repaired at the factory. Right now, they have a flat-rate fee of
$1,855 no matter if they're replacing a knob or a circuit board.
" If you're buying a 430W, for example, by the time you pay for
the unit and the repair fee, you're not too far off buying a brandnew
radio that's going to have a two-year warranty. And then it
comes to many King or other brand radios; you can't even get
them fixed any longer. There aren't any parts. "
One last thing on buying pre-owned, you have to make 100%
sure the unit you want to install is STC'd for your aircraft and the
other avionics and instruments you have in the panel.
" Before you buy anything, make sure your avionics shop
confirms that there is an STC for that installation in your
particular make, model and serial number, " Lee said. " Another
thing to confirm is that the voltage of the unit you are buying
matches that of your aircraft's electrical system. There are
12/14-and 24-volt systems in the field today. It's easy to overlook
that and buy the wrong unit. "
Pay me now, or pay me later
Avionics upgrades are expensive, so you will end up
financing the project unless you've got your hands on a pile
of cash.
As Lee explained, while it may seem counterintuitive,
there are scenarios in which financing the full avionics
upgrade you have in mind and completing that upgrade
in one project could be less expensive than breaking up an
upgrade over two or more projects completed over multiple
