Step through each decision below — we’ll automatically filter your options for compatibility at every stage. When you’re done, send your spec sheet straight to our team for a custom quote.
Are you building for VFR or IFR? This drives required avionics, redundancy, and panel complexity.
Your EFIS drives autopilot servos, remote boxes, engine-monitor modules, and control heads. Switching ecosystems mid-build is expensive — choose carefully.
For IFR and night builds, a dedicated standby instrument with independent backup power is strongly recommended.
Select the navigation level you actually want. This step separates VFR moving-map capability from true IFR navigation capability. Many EFIS displays include a VFR GPS, but that is not the same as a panel IFR navigator. Your selection here also updates the COM radio options in the next step — some navigators include a built-in COM radio.
Autopilot is not legally required for VFR or IFR, but it is one of the most valuable mission and workload upgrades in a modern experimental panel. Options below are filtered by your chosen EFIS ecosystem — servo and controller compatibility is ecosystem-specific.
Choose the communication setup that matches the mission and the selected navigator. A COM radio is required whenever the intended airspace or operation requires two-way radio communication — many builders include one regardless. Dual COMs and a dedicated audio panel are common for IFR and frequent cross-country use, but they are mission-driven recommendations, not universal legal minimums.
Choose the surveillance package that matches your airspace and region. ADS-B Out is required in the U.S. airspace covered by § 91.225 and generally follows transponder-required airspace — but it is not universally required for every operation. A compliant ADS-B Out installation requires more than just the transmitter: it also requires a compatible GPS position source and an approved pairing/configuration. Options are filtered by your chosen EFIS ecosystem.
