I'm trying to get an idea of the costs associated with upgrading an analog/gyro based/steam instrument panel to a glass cockpit.
I have a line on a very solid aircraft that has high engine time and would need a major overhaul almost immediately. Those costs are somewhat known to me. What I want to know is, what if I want to completely modernize the avionics with a glass panel, what kind of price range should I be expecting? I understand there are many variable so let's assume I don't need the Rolls-Royce but don't want the Nissan Versa either. I also understand it's better to buy a plane with the right avionics already installed but the price point on this plane is such that it might be worth the added cost after purchase.
Thanks in advance. . .
