STC SR04390CH allows the installation of two Astronautics Roadrunner EFIS screens in all models of 109/119.
Retail cost for the two screens plus adapter kits (basically a wiring harness to convert the aircraft harness to the EFIS) is US$95k all in.
Installation is on top of that but it is plug and play. No drilling or anything required. Maintains full IFR certification and is NVIS complatible out of the box. Can be configured with HTAWS and TCAS too.
Each of the four Kratos screens retail at US$96k. So for the replacement cost of one screen, you get the complete kit.
That is great news indeed, I'd expect
Dick Smith to be the first Australian customer. We have RK screens in two of our aircraft, they look good but are woefully unreliable.
