Daughter wants to start training for an instrument rating and is looking at a C172 to buy (our 170 won’t quite cut it). It has a PMA6000b audio panel,GNS430W with GDI206, KX155, and GTX335 ADSB, steam horizon and DG. Would like to get rid of vacuum pump so
thinking of installing two G5‘s or equivalent. I’m still stuck back in the early 80s on this so need some help on advice for her. Let me know what you think. Thank you.

Two G5s should get it done and is probably what I would do. Two gi275 would be even better but those are $$$$$$.

AV-30 also looks like a nice device, but since the airplane has the 430 and 335, I'd stay with Garmin.

Agreed, the integration would be worth it. I also know of a few folks who have put in AV-30 and had some issues.

Bozo first registered/posted on Jan 1 and has not been back, so I doubt he’s following.
