. See all the equipment we put on the airplane, and inquire about your own project! newviewtech.com/aoa/ The panel project for our Cessna 172 is coming to a close, with all the avionics and tests being completed. It’s been a fun process so far, flying all the way from Alaska to Wisconsin in a bold and big plan to get the panel and these avionics upgraded to IFR.
After a lot of previous work in designing the new Cessna 172 avionics and panel, the last bits are coming together. Not only do we put in all the new instruments, but we have to do other tests before everything can be wrapped up. We need to get this thing flying!
Last time we showed you the leather wrapped yokes, the single piece CNC cut instrument panel, newly restored paint, and more.
This time we still have a lot of work to do. We’ll be following schematics to put all the pieces together to spec, powering up the airplane for the first time and seeing it all happen, and more. This aviation technology is just crazy.
Sara, a former student of mine, came to hang out and see the progress of the panel. It was great to see her. She flew in a plane she rented from Madison.
The aircraft pitot static system had to go through IFR Certification. Bruce, the owner of NewView Technologies where we’re getting the modernized, did the test. He hooks up tubes that add pressure to the system, then checks the different tolerances for the instruments.
We got new lighting done in the airplane with overhead and map lights from WAT. We also have much of it on a dimmer. That means we have a master dimmer for many of the instruments and radios.
Rosen Visors are a much better solution for our visors. We got the 3 AXIS version to replace what we had before, and we’re really happy with the solution.
With all the new equipment on this Cessna 172, we had to do a new weight and balance. This was one of the most difficult things we had to do the entire time.
While the airplane was leveled, we also calibrated the fuel senders. This will give us accurate fuel readings for the first time. The digital fuel senders are very accurate, giving us a reliable source for our fuel levels.
