VFR to IFR Cost for KLN 89B

[Skip Guimond]

I recently purchased an aircraft with a KLN 89B installed with VFR
restrictions. Can anyone give me a "guesstimate" on the cost of
adding the necessary equipment and labor to have the unit certified
for IFR flight?

Thanks--

IFR certification requires a CDI and annunciator box. Check eBay for prices
on these, my guess is no more than $1000 for both depenind on what kind of
CDI you get.

The average for a fresh IFR install seems to be running in the neighborhood
of $3000 these days without any kind of autopilot connection. Assuming the
install of the unit is otherwise IFR-quality I suspect you're looking at
something closer to $2000 to IFR-ify it.
