JPI 800 & GMA 340 into C206 in EASA countries?

[Jouni Laukkanen]

Hi!

My parachuting club has bought '75 Cessna 206 and is making complete
restoration for it. We would like to install JPI EDM 700/800 engine
multi-instrument and Garmin GMA 340 audio panel into it, but...

.... our national Civil Aviation Administration could handle/approve
these installations little bit easier if there would be any Cessna 206
in JAA/EASA countries which has these already installed. Is there any?
Any help would be appreciated. Registration markings would mean a lot!

Thanks,
Jouni Laukkanen

Yeah, it shouldn't be. But somehow it is. I don't exactly know why this
phenomena has risen in recent years - is it because of EASA (European
Air Safety Agency) influence - not a clue. It's really annoying,
especially when you are talking about STC which is approved in same
country where the aircraft itself was designed/approved.

Anyway any info about this kind of instalation is wellcome.

Actually I found reason for this. Local authority can approve
installation whenever there is existing installation in any other
EASA-country. EASA does not maintain a list of approved installations,
so it's owner's responsibility to find this out. If such a case is not
available, approval will transferred to EASA and this will take time.

Still, one might think why it's necessary to approve anything which
already has approval (STC).
