I am considering upgrading my N reg VFR equipped aircraft for IFR capabilities. I will need to keep it in compliance with FAA (as itsN registered) and UK (as that's where i fly) equipment list compliance.
The current panel is relatively new and has the following:
1 PMA 8000b audio panel
1. Garmin sl40 radio
1 Garmin 330 xponder
1 garmin panel mount VFR 496 gps
Standard instrument 6 pack.
What would be the minimum equipment I would need to purchase to be IFR legal? I was looking at the Aspen Avionics evolution 1000 pro to replace the AI and DG with an electronic AI and HSI.
Do i have to faff around installing ADF steam gauges etc?. what about DME? can i keep my existing VFR gps ( obviously for VFR use only) and just have Aspen type glass HSI/VOR units fitted into the empty 31/2 panel holes for ILS approaches?
Any suggestions appreciated,
