The ADVANCEDPANEL Process
Installing your aircraft’s avionics and electrical system need no longer be a time consuming, complicated and frustrating experience. Each ADVANCEDPANEL Complete system includes a custom-designed, CNC machined instrument panel that is engineered, wired, configured, tested and ready to install. All avionics, including the aircraft's autopilot servos, trim servos and lights are all cleanly wired to the groundbreaking Advanced Control Module - the groundbreaking avionics control center that revolutionizes aircraft electrical system management. ADVANCEDPANEL is available with both SkyView HDX and AF-6000 series displays.
Think about your aircraft’s mission.
Are you equipping for VFR or IFR? If you want to plan a panel with a future upgrade in mind - we can do that. This usually means a VFR panel with a cutout for a future IFR navigator, or maybe a panel with a single-screen EFIS with the plan to add a second screen. We can build your ADVANCEDPANEL with this in mind.

Think about whether you prefer Advanced AF-6000 or Dynon SkyView HDX
Both systems are from the Dynon family of companies and use the same “behind-the-scenes” components. If you’re not sure which system to go with, we can help you decide.

Work with our experts to customize and design your panel. Or BYOPanel.
We can build you the complete panel, or not. Many customers opt for ADVANCEDPANEL Complete: the flagship offering that ends with your avionics mounted in a custom-designed panel that is designed perfectly for your aircraft. Or, you can choose to BYOPanel - or “Bring Your Own Panel” - if you’d prefer to craft your own metal panel. If you choose ADVANCEDPANEL BYOPanel, our experts still configure your entire avionics system, complete with the ACM and plug and play ACM harnesses you need to connect everything together. Either way, your avionics arrive pre-configured and bench-tested for quick installation in your aircraft.
If you need some inspiration, browse our site for examples of ADVANCEDPANELs installed in your aircraft type. We have already built ADVANCEDPANELs for RV-7, RV-8, RV-9, RV-10, RV-14, Glasair Sportsman, CubCrafters, Kitfox, and Sonex aircraft. If you fly something else, give us a call. We can likely develop an ADVANCEDPANEL for YOUR airplane.

Sit back and relax while we engineer, craft, and configure your avionics and panel.
ADVANCEDPANEL Complete: Once you have approved the design, your panel is CNC-cut, powder coated and laser engraved. This process can take several weeks, during which we are building your harnesses and assembling, testing and calibrating your panel components. We also send you the components that you will need to install (engine sensors, autopilot servos, ADAHRS, etc) so that you can be ready when your ADVANCEDPANEL Complete arrives.
ADVANCEDPANEL BYOPanel: We’ll bring your entire avionics system together, including accessories and 3rd party components such as IFR Navigators. We build your harnesses and assemble, test, and calibrate your displays and components together. When everything is completely bench tested, we carefully pack everything so that it is ready to plug and play into your panel.

Install your ADVANCEDPANEL.
Your ADVANCEDPANEL Complete or ADVANCEDPANEL BYOPanel system will arrive carefully packaged, along with any other components that were part of your order, ready to install in your aircraft. With it will be a detailed packing list showing each part, by part number (and serial number, when applicable), to make taking an inventory of your shipment easy. Each ADVANCEDPANEL comes with a packet of drawings, including wiring diagrams. Our ADVANCEDPANEL manual has step by step instructions for installing the components, connecting your aircraft systems (lights, boost pump, flaps, etc) and testing the system. Connect to power, pitot static, autopilot servos, and any other systems in your aircraft.
