Wizofoz, ok I gocha. The FBW was just a "maybe". Its the avionics or any part of the intellectual brain of the a/c that is of interest to me.
Can you suggest anything besides a Garmin GPS unit and a laptop? Speaking of the laptop, I think we need to "modify" the a/c so I might have to stick an FMC unit into the aircraft or somehow make the laptop part of the flight deck... sort of what Airbus is doing.
Is there anything I can do with the instruments? Even if not a G1000, some smaller King Air-style MFD units maybe? Would they lower maintenance costs?
Vc10, because the project is to modify an F27, not an F50. There is nothing I can do about that. Personally I would much rather be modifying a 767 or an old 747 but I don't have a choice
