Pre-Exiting Instrument Panel Prior to Major Upgrade N206JD had a fairly functional, but somewhat antiquated panel which already had some upgrades installed. Most notable were the STEC 55-X autopilot (w/altitude pre-select), and the JPI EDM800 engine monitor. The scope of the upgrade was to add: Dual IFR GNS 530 GPS units , Garmin 296 backup GPS (cross-linked to 530's), KSC-55A HSI. backup electric AI, GTX-330 Mode-S transponder w/traffic, WSI AV200 datalink weather system (including a GNS 530 interface), and a MX-20 multi-function display with chartview to display all of the above! On the audio front, the plane is upgraded to a PMA 8000 audio panel, PXE 7300 in-flight entertainment system, and four Bose-X headsets. The engine gauges were upgraded to full digital, with alert functions. To house all of this, the panel was completely removed and replaced with a full metal Avion panel.
