Mar 29, 2020     instrument panel clearances and measurements; C/B panel - (4.7 hours)       Category: Instrument Panel
1. and 2. Installed glareshield and top skin in order to get true measurements of the space behind the panel. (Installing the skin was necessary because it actually pulls the avionics bulkhead forward another 1/2". This gives me an honest 12" of space for the GTN650, which means it will fit just fine). Worked with my CAD guy, Joe, and we moved a few things around on the panel design to optimize the space we have available. 3. Fabricated a new right cabin cover (which will be my circuit breaker panel) out of 0.040" stock. The thinner, stock one just seemed too flimsy to use for a bank of 20 circuit breakers, USB ports, etc.. 4. Marked the panel with some dimensions that will help Joe draw a 1:1 template so I can check the ergonomics and clearance issues.
