Furthermore, the current list price for the EFD1000 Pro version is US$9,995 while the list price for the Pilot version is US$5,995. And although installation times may vary, 40 hours seems to be the consensus among shops that install the Pro version.
Max’s thorough review provides excellent information regarding the capabilities of the system, transitioning to it and flying with it after it is installed. As he concludes:
Aspen has come up with a very compelling value proposition for upgrading older aircraft to give them most of the capabilities of glass cockpit aircraft at a tiny fraction of the cost. Candidly, if I ever own an older aircraft again, it will be a no-brainer to upgrade it with an Aspen EFD1000.
So for readers who have older aircraft, upgrading their aircraft with the EFD1000 is something well worth looking into.
