Good morning all.
Just wondering if it is possible to install non-certified avionics (Specifically a Garmin G3X) into a certified aircraft such as a C172 or Warrior/Archer in Australia?
Is it possible to get an STC, with the right paperwork to do this?
If not as a direct replacement, would it be possible to put a G3X dual screen on the left, and the minimum required instruments on the right as a backup, ie:Alt, ASI etc. A Garmin GNS430 and transponder would be in the centre.
GA aircraft are aging, and maint costs continue to rise. You can currently install a G3X with 3 axis autopilot for $8,000USD, and it's new, not 40 years old.
