MyPanel Allows Pilots To Have It Their Way
It's no secret that personal electronics are becoming more and
more prevalent in airplane cockpits, and not just the high-end
bizjets and turboprops. The trend has led CubCrafters to make new
instrument panel options available featuring space designated for
the attachment of a tablet computer or similar device. CubCrafters
is calling the option the MyPanel, and it can be ordered as an
option on any new CubCrafters Carbon Cub or Sport Cub aircraft.
“The MyPanel allows the pilot to craft his or her own
solution for cockpit navigation, instrumentation, and reference
solutions,” says CubCrafters General Manager Randy Lervold.
“The array of software, hardware and functionality available
on the iPad and other portable devices is astounding. As pilots we
all have a preference for what data we’d like presented to us
on our instrument panels. The new MyPanel© lets each aircraft
owner create their preferred panel presentation. The market in this
area is changing rapidly and the MyPanel lets the owner/pilot
change or update apps at their discretion rather than waiting for
the aircraft manufacturer to update panel options. The
proliferation of applications such as WingX Pro 7 and ForeFlight,
along with an array of affordable outboard GPS and AHRS choices,
enables an almost infinite variety of configurations, and all at a
fraction of the cost of traditional built-in instrumentation. We
think this will be a popular option.”
The MyPanel is configured to accommodate attachment of virtually
any of the new breed of portable computers such as the Garmin aera
796, as well as the Apple iPad 2 and similar products.
The MyPanel option is available immediately.
