People pay more now for radios/nav setup than what an aircraft used to cost

A plane is also more expensive with a modern LSA being $300k plus.

Both the new plane and avionics are very capable.

Any more capable than a brand new Cessna 182 for 60K in 1980?

I see that that the wee CubCrafters bush plane comes with colour TV these days  - and a turbine motor too, if you like.

I reckon you could land one of those here for not much more than a mill and a bit Pacific pesos.

Not sure what a new 182 is but a new 172 is over a million today.

It comes with two Garmin efises.

I guess we should talk about the actual new efises.

 

GDU116B - base model, 11.6 inch screen, fits same mounting hole as 10 inch G3X Touch, faster processor, sharper screen,

        lots of small feature updates, minor wiring changes, internal VFR GPS, $8-9K Aus $.

 

GDU116C - all the above plus, internal audio panel, internal com radio, internal IFR GPS, $26K ?

 

GDU116NC- all the above plus, internal audio panel, internal com/nav radio, internal IFR GPS, $33K ?

 

Needs current model ADAHRS, GEA25 (sensor interface) etc

Also works with the current model IFR navigators, ADSB transponder, AP controller, radios, standby instruments (G5, GI275)
