Adapter Panel Allows Easy Installation of Replacement ESI

Southeast Aerospace has obtained a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)for installation of the GI 275 in Part 25 aircraft as an Electronic Standby Instrument (ESI).

SEA joined hands with Peregrine to develop an easy-to-install, simple solution for cost-effective replacement of aging mechanical and electronic standby instruments, landing on the 3.125-inch round display as a perfect fit for Part 25 operators. The GI 275's small, compact footprint and all-in-one design allows for an easy, breezy installation with minimal downtime. As a part of the installation, the SEA has designed, manufactured, and PMA’d a 3-ATI to 3.125-inch adapter plate to further streamline the installation. The adapter plate is available for purchase with the STC.

The STC allows them to install the GI 275 ESI on any aircraft on the Approved Model List. On top of the usual backup functionality, the STC also allows for the optional interface of GPS Data, Magnetic Heading, and VHF Navigation information from many common sources approved for interface with the GI 275. On top of that, the GI 275 can be equipped with optional synthetic vision. 

Luke Gomoll, SEA Aircraft Modifications Sales Representative, stated, "The Garmin GI 275 ESI elevates the cockpit. Display clarity, brightness, data presentation, and data accuracy are all leveled up massively with the GI 275 compared to legacy electronic standby instruments. Obsolescence of older ESIs is really a secondary reason to upgrade to the GI 275, and we think that the GI 275 ESI has enough merit on its own to justify upgrades of non-obsolete equipment as well."

Southeast Aerospace's Part 25 AML ESI STC is available for a number of business aviation aircraft, including Hawker 800/1000 Series, Citation 550, 560, 560XL, 650, Falcon 50, Gulfstream G200, GIV, GV, Challenger 300, and Lear 60s.
