A V-tail Bonanza with a full panel makeover featuring Garmin AXIS!

It's always great seeing modern avionics fitted into a classic aircraft like the Beechcraft Bonanza. This panel brings together Garmin's latest flight display technology with a clean, updated layout while keeping the character of the aircraft.

We've worked on some brilliant avionics transformations here at Arcus Aero and this is another one worth sharing.

What do you think of the AXIS upgrade in a V-tail Bonanza? Would you go for a modern glass cockpit or keep the traditional instruments?

A look inside this Twin Comanche cockpit!

A great mix of traditional flight instruments and modern avionics.

What do you think of this Twin Comanche setup? Would you keep this combination or go for a full glass cockpit?

A look back at a Cessna 185 titanium landing gear installation here at Arcus Aero!

The landing gear is an important part of any aircraft, especially a Skywagon that's regularly operating on a variety of surfaces. Titanium gear can offer a useful weight-saving advantage over conventional steel gear, depending on the installation, while still meeting the demands of the aircraft.

It's always interesting looking back at the different upgrades we've worked on over the years.

Garmin AXIS Flight Displays. The centre of your panel!

Garmin's next-generation AXIS displays bring some exciting capabilities to the cockpit, combining primary flight information, multifunction displays and engine monitoring into one integrated system.

With optional built-in IFR navigation and communication functions, AXIS can also help simplify your panel by bringing more essential flight tools together.

As an authorised Garmin dealer and installer, we're excited to be working with this technology here at Arcus Aero.

If you had to explain this screen to someone who knows absolutely nothing about aviation or flying, how would you describe it?

There's so much information available to pilots through modern avionics, but imagine trying to explain what everything means to someone who's never stepped inside a cockpit.

When someone mentions Garmin, what's the first thing that comes to mind?

Is it the modern glass cockpit displays like the G3X Touch and new AXIS, the GPS navigation systems that help pilots find their way or the engine monitoring technology that keeps important information right in front of you?

Garmin has become a big part of modern general aviation, with so many different systems helping pilots navigate, monitor their aircraft and manage their flights.

We're curious to hear what stands out most to you. When you hear the name Garmin, what's the first piece of equipment you think of and why?

Can you guess which aircraft this instrument panel belongs to?

Take a closer look at the panel and let us know your guesses in the comments. Can you name the aircraft?

Keeping an eye on your engine has never been easier with Garmin engine monitoring.

Having important engine information displayed clearly in the cockpit makes a real difference. From temperatures and pressures to fuel flow and engine performance, Garmin's engine monitoring technology helps pilots keep track of what's happening throughout their flight.

We've worked on plenty of Garmin avionics upgrades here at Arcus Aero and engine monitoring is certainly something worth considering when updating your panel.

Does your aircraft already have digital engine monitoring or are you still flying with traditional gauges?

From traditional instruments to a full glass cockpit!

Take a look at this before and after transformation on one of our Skywagon projects. It's amazing how much a cockpit can change with a modern avionics upgrade, bringing a completely different look to the panel while keeping the character of the aircraft we all love.

Would you upgrade your Skywagon to a full glass cockpit or stick with the traditional instruments?

Summer might be over, but we're still enjoying looking back at some of the brilliant aircraft adventures from the past few months.

There's nothing quite like getting your aircraft out on a sunny day and heading somewhere new.

We'd love to hear where everyone has been this summer. Where did you fly to and what was your favourite trip? Feel free to share your photos in the comments!
