- or in phases that add up to complete kits - empennage, fuselage, wings and, today, a firewall-forward
package complete with engine and prop .
In more-recent years, some kit companies and a
growing list of avionics specialty businesses have
begun offering airframe-specific prefabricated solutions for the last remaining major areas of the building project: electrical power, lights and avionics .
Other shops offer services to fit the owner's aircraft,
experimental or certificated .
The world of experimental aircraft panels has
similarly evolved in the decades since the late Tony
Bingelis, the Experimental Aircraft Association's homebuilding guru, wrote this in his widely referenced tome,
Sportplane Construction Techniques: "Wiring an aircraft involves two basic activities: installing the electrical equipment where it needs to be or where you want
it to be; and connecting it to a power source (battery/
bus bar, etc .) using wires ."
Missing from his observation are the trappings of
today's more sophisticated EFIS instrumentation working with simple single- and two-axis autopilots linked
to attitude sensors and fuselages bristling with the
antennae dedicated to spherics and traffic-avoidance
sensors, datalink receivers, traffic-avoidance sensors,
surveillance transmitters, and both VHF communication and navigation radios .
The more complex the aircraft and the more intricate
the panel components, the more likely a builder will
seek expert assistance . Some need help only with the
design and creation of harnesses and the connections,
and feel confident about the actual wiring and correctly
connecting the various components .
Even in those instances where a prefabricated solution is available, builders who range further into the
realm of traffic sensors, ADS-B and multiple navigation
receivers may still need professional assistance .
For example, few individual builders are equipped or
qualified to set up and calibrate autopilots, test radiofrequency leakage to mount a spherics antenna, or
install other antennae without creating interference .
As an adjunct to the maintenance and upgrade of
certificated aircraft avionics, the work with builders and
experimental aircraft pilots represents an opportunity
for avionics repair shops to broaden the business base
into what's arguably one of the largest sources of newaircraft registrations: completed experimental aircraft .
Shops that with a builder can garner orders for the
equipment they want, even when they could order it
elsewhere; but installation-included pricing could land
the shop both the sale and the install .
Overall, when a repair shop becomes known among
local builders, it creates a life-long relationship with a
future aircraft owner .
