Panel Planner 101: Twin Engine Displays

That’s the Baron panel with the dual-screen Aspen Evolution PFD/MFD suite installed. Those displays don’t require panel cuts. Notice the OEM mechanical gauges, which are two-inch round instruments.

This month’s panel for planning comes from Aviation Consumer contributor Chris Nichols, who has been upgrading a clean Beech Baron. He has some good advice for getting the layout right the first time, and came up with a capable and modern alternative to the analog OEM engine and fuel gauges while retaining the existing basic layout.
