No, Raf … but I AM hearing that at SnF 2020, they’re coming out with a new paradigm shift in avionics … an all-in-one box containing GPS, Nav, comm, DG w/ HSI, horizon, diversity ADS-B transponder, intercom, 406 ELT, radar, Iridium sat phone, Wifi, Bluetooth, internal battery with sufficient excess energy to run six iPads, CO monitor, flight envelope protection, engine monitoring system and autopilot. Because it’ll be NORSEE approved, the introductory price will break the magic $100K barrier. For an extra $9,999, you can optionally order voice commands so you won’t even have to touch it. That model will also contain a quick detachable PLB. It’ll be called the GSAK 1001 … (swiss army knife). Weighing in at just under 3 pounds, all an installer will have to do is hook up power, antennas and pitot-static lines. I’m also hearing they’ll finally allow A&P installations, too. Wow ! Unfortunately, the STC’s to install it won’t be coming out until 2029 because … well … you know why.

I think I’m having Airventure withdrawal symptoms ? (AWS)
