San Luis Avionics

Location: San Luis Obispo, Calif. Employees involved in the project: Don Dominguez (engineering, harness wiring, supervisor) John Pardubsky (installation/sheet metal tech) Steve Laymon (installation/wire tech) Type of aircraft: 1941 Beechcraft D17S, Staggerwing What was the objective of this project? Upgrade the panel for IFR capabilities, including WAAS GPS approach, traffic avoidance and weather. When did the project begin? July 9, 2012 When was it completed? July 24, 2012

The 71-year-old plane required a new panel with modern equipment.

What makes this project unique? The aircraft is 71 years old, a wellrestored and maintained piece of history. It is always a challenge to modify an antique panel to modern equipment while maintaining the classic integrity of the aircraft. Did any problems occur while working on the project? The lack of space behind the panel was the biggest challenge for modern equipment. No other problems occurred, but the Staggerwing is beautifully restored and generated a lot of interest on the airport. We had to post “do not touch” signs and have an employee monitor the curious admirers when business was

open. We eventually had to close our hangar doors to keep admirers at bay while we worked on the project. Did you learn anything from this project? We learned the intricacies of the Staggerwing and additional ins-andouts to upgrading an antique panel with modern equipment. Also, never assume what a previous equipment installer may have done. What was the customer’s response? The customer was very pleased to have a fully capable IFR-equipped Garmin suite of avionics professionally installed in a timely fashion. The new Garmin 750 touchscreen and audio system made them very happy. Additional Comments: We were fortunate to have Pat Napolitano of Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics working with us on this project. q

An IFR-equipped Garmin suite of avionics was successfully installed by the team at San Luis Avionics.
