Upgrading the avionics system
and installing a new digital engine
monitoring system in conjunction
with an annual inspection and
maintenance.

Did you encounter any
problems while working
on the project?
The acrylic windshield on order
became unavailable. Parts lead
times, poor maintenance and
previous substandard avionics
installs were a problem, also.
How did you resolve
these problems?
We contacted all possible vendors to
get a suitable replacement windshield.
A glass windshield was then ordered
but had a long lead time, extending
the overall duration of the project. We
worked with vendors and installed
multiple STCs.

from this project?
Yes, communication with the customer
and vendors is crucial for a successful
project.
What was the

Germany.
Additional comments?
When utilizing outside services,
be sure about the vendor's
understanding of the schedule and
quality of work being performed. q
