Instrument Installation
We are pleased to offer a service to our customer to help with panel design right through to complete installation. We offer this to both gliding and power customers. We start with a blank panel and use a Computer Aided Design (CAD) package to design the panel in 3D and obtain optimum spacing with clearances for any switches as in this example.

Having spent time modelling up the instruments we can then supply a file that the owner can manipulate using a lightweight 3D viewing tool to see how it looks.

Finally we can provide a PDF of the panel for review and approval by the customer:

In very broad terms we offer the following options:
- Option 1 - Panel Design and cutting. Presently all the work is done in CAD and using a traditional CNC system to cut the panels.
- Option 2 - Instrument Installation. We make sure that the spacing of instruments is the optimum and that appropriate securing devices are used.
- Option 3 - Instrument Panel Wiring. We can supply and install all required switches and circuit breakers and provide no-break circuitry for power change-over switches
- Option 4 - Integration of panel into a glider (or powered aircraft) subject to available suitable premises. We fit the panel to your machine and integrate it to the electrical system (or replace and re-engineer as required). We can normally travel to an agreed central location to do this work.
- All glider work can be overseen and signed off by a BGA Senior Inspector
We also offer:
- Rebuild of existing panel with holes filled and repainted to your requirements so that it looks like this:

- Additional devices such as air extractor vents:

- Specialist parts to facilitate quick installation such as these flap mounting brackets for LX Nav Flap Encoders

This is a totally new service and we will develop it in conjunction with customers to provide a fully integrated service.
