Real-World DHC-2 Avionics Query
Posted: Mon May 29, 2017 2:25 pm
In an effort to research real-world Beaver avionics, I'm curious from those familiar with RW ops what a typical aircraft avionics package might looks like. I have researched about 20 or 30 aircraft from YouTube as well as a few for sale (e.g. controller.com) and other sites.
1.) Autopilot - Most I've found for sale make very little mention of an autopilot. Is an autopilot in this class of aircraft more uncommon than common?
2.) GPS - It looks like single Garmin GPS295 or GNS 430 are far more common than a GNS 650/750. I think I found only one or two with GNS technology.
3.) Weather Radar - I didn't locate any aircraft with a weather radar.
Thanks in advance for any comments.
