First Flight In Our Bonanza With New Avionics! (Full Glass Panel Upgrade Part 2)

Schweitzer 🎉

Nice; but I would have done a Garmin system.

As a car guy and someone that flys in sims i always find it funny how the aviation industry has nice all glass instruments but a aircooled engine with mechanical injection or even carburators that are very old. Especially the aviation would immensly benefit modern ECUs and Engine control. Efficiency, Resilience, longevity etc. As far as i know only Diamond Aircraft have adapted Car Engines.

I find it hard to believe how far general aviation has come. I soloed in a J3 Cub in 1961 and flew for a major airline for 25 years. I retired 30 years ago and we didn’t have anything that sophisticated back then. Amazing!!!

the more minority's and woman that get into aviation the more it will turn to trash and the accident rates will just keep going up
no one is willing to call this out but its true lives will be lost because you weak white men are not willing to stand up and say it

Amazing glass cockpit!!! I'm looking at an older F33A and would love to upgrade to something like this. After flying a few with glass, its impossible to go back to just steam gauges lol.

$1000 landing fee? CRIMINAL. Hope that's announced on the ATIS so you can divert. Great panel!

Stop complaining about the price of gas… your flying a plane!

It's gorgeous inside and out. How much useful load did you gain with this installation? I did avionics installs back in the 1970s. No digital stuff back then, and, I always warned a pilot to expect something to fail in the first 200 hours on a new plane. After that things got better.

I'm very excited that I got to join you'll on this incredible flight!! Watching it feels like I'm on the plane as well. I'm absolutely stoked about this panel it's astonishing in action!! I highly recommend doing this same thing with your other aircraft. 💯

I know you guys are in great weather 99%of the time but us here in the north east would like to see how you would upgrade the f33 with deicing capability. Thanks for the great videos!

Always a joy to fly with Owen. Fascinating panel

Great video!!!
What was the cost of this full glass panel upgrade ?

looka likw it has a lot of glare on the new screens. c/b just from the video.

Need to clock up a lot of hours to make that panel cost effective.

Is the Dynon flight display much better than the Avidyne Vantage then? I presume You went with another brand of display for a good reason?

I have a Dynon system in my Vans RV-8 and it's great however you should really fly with the Garmin G3X system before deciding to upgrade your other planes with Dynon avionics. If you come to Atlanta I can arrange it... The G3X is a far more intuitive and easy to use system.

You guys transformed this plane. It has changed dramatically since you purchased it back when it was the flying banana.

Love it

Does it have VNAV?

Great IFD/Dynon/CIES setup!

Beautiful.

The transformation is nothing short of remarkable. Love to know a cost breakdown.

The only glass I've ever flown g1000 and G3x but this looks amazing

If you push and hold the right knob on the Dynon HDX it will bring up the taxi map - no need to go into the menus like that

Completely awesome guys.... Champs!

I was wondering if you are speeding up the video just a hair as it seems like the guys are talking so fast that the words don't quite develop like you would expect them to in a real conversation. Maybe it's just me. I was just curious.

Way too complicated for me!!

Can you tell us the difference in price between this system and Garmin

It looks like there was room to leave at least a couple of critical Direct Read instruments in place. Not a big deal you have enough redundancy and power, it appears, to be able to be dependent on these. I would only make one comment all of my experience is with military aircraft where redundancy is King. He stated that the individual GPS antennas were dedicated to separate screams. Tapping off of each of them to feed both of the primary screens. Or all three, allows that if you have a failure in any of the system antennas. It would not affect any of the screens I'm not sure how you would create a system to flag you that it was suffering an antenna issue at that point. Just something I thought about when he was saying it.
Aircraft is to add an electronic ignition upgrade. That thing sounded just a tick rough on your run up.

I am totally speachless!

A purple pig and a green donkey flew a kite in the middle of the night and ended up sunburnt.

Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.

All she wanted was the answer, but she had no idea how much she would hate it.

Please tell me you don't work in a morgue.

Lose an hour in the morning, and you will spend all day looking for it.

The Avidyne panel - Who needs Garmin? Garmin has been Gamin' us with their absurd, high margin pricing.
Doesn't Owen fly helicopters? You could rappel out to catch the commercial flight and TSA fun. It is the way to go even if some find it rappelling.

Did this avionics upgrade require a form 337?

Great video; years ago, I was a launch (pre-cert) customer for the Avidyne IFD units, and they’re terrific. You couldn’t have made a better choice for your F33A panel than the Avidyne/Dynon combination!

No other aircraft (except R-22) kills weekend pilots like the Bonanza. I don’t care how much glass ya got!

You guys really have it together! Wow, a dream panel to be sure. I am going to seek out, and watch your other videos- you are having just too much fun.

Soo much going on with those screens!

Ii like it!
Yes you should upgrade the jet!!!

Love every video 📷 ty brother 🛩️🙌🏼

I love love LOVE this panel setup!

I love the glass you have in the plane. I would love to see all this glass in a C182

The panel is awesome love your content

What was the total cost of this panel upgrade?

Pretty amazing that you can connect the iPad to the AVIDYNE.
