This is one of the most upgraded Cessna Skylane avionics packages we have done here at Sparkchasers and it sure is a pleasure to fly. If you watch our vlog videos, you may have seen this aircraft in a recent video. What makes it so special you ask? It’s a seamlessly integrated Garmin avionics package with everything that a Garmin Sales Rep would want in their aircraft. ## What we did • WAAS based GPS for those LPV approaches • WAAS based GPS as a backup; for good measure • Subscription free traffic & weather on the GTN 750 display and on the customer iPad • ADS-B compliance for those controlled airspaces after the 2020 mandate kicks in • A pair of nice electronic flight instruments driving an insanely smooth flying digital auto-pilot to make those long trips more bearable. • And, just because we can, we powder-coated the yokes gloss black to make them look new again! ## Request a Free Quote We know what it takes to keep your aircraft running safely and reliably.
