GPS; Panel Mounted Systems

Welcome to the Panel Mounted GPS Guidebook
OUR OPINIONS ON PANEL MOUNTED GPS

Brought to you by
APG - Eastern Avionics International

GPS has taken the avionics world by storm. Little can beat the peace of mind that this great navigation system gives a pilot. Most modern panel mounted GPS units have full databases with removable data cards, and they can interface to an autopilot. Some of them are or may be certified for IFR usage and, with the latest FAA-approved overlays and charts, can even be used for GPS approaches. All of these models show you which way to the closest airport (a handy feature in times of an emergency) while some even show you the way on a built-in graphic map display. The FAA has also improved the process to get IFR certification on installations of IFR units -- a welcome change.

You can get KWIKMOUNT(tm) custom wiring and testing for any VFR GPS packages for only $99. IFR GPS systems can be installed and certified at our Florida facility at your convenience. At Eastern Avionics International, we can help you select the best GPS for your kind of aircraft and flying. Contact us anytime!

Bendix/King KLN-35A GPS
$2,460.00 $2,149.00 On Sale!
070-01151-0003
This unit is well built and has a bevy of useful features. It incorporates a full Jeppesen database with Airports, Navaids and SUAs (Special Use Airspace). A special "NRST" nearest button gives immediate assess to the closest airports, active frequencies, Navaids, and SUA data. The moving map feature displays all of this data for terrific situational awareness. The new state-of-the-art, double super-twist, nematic gold LCD display is among the best you can get. The Nav Pages display distance, bearing, time, and fuel as well as pressure/density altitude, true airspeed (TAS), and winds aloft. Use the OBS mode to fly a specific bearing or radial to or from a waypoint -- just like a VOR. It stores up to 10 flight plans and 250 user-defined waypoints. Its course indicator even has a turn anticipation feature for smoother course changes. CDI outputs allow easy interfacing to an autopilot.

Dimensions: 2.00 in. (5.08 cm) x 6.25 in. (15.88 cm) x 11.38 in. (28.91 cm) (HxWxL) Weight: 2.1 lbs. (0.94 kg) Power Required: 11-33 VDC

HOT TIP!! Everything Honeywell Bendix/King makes is of excellent quality and the KLN-35A is no exception. We have this unit priced at less than several other panel mount GPS systems even though it comes with a full-featured moving map! The KLN-35A is an excellent choice and a real bargain.
