Complete Instrument Panel Solution
1
The Legacy XL Stationary Panel is the first and only STC approved replacement stationary instrument panel built with future upgradability in mind.
2
The OEM structural stationary panel limits the possibilities of instrument installation in legacy Cessnas. The Legacy XL replacement stationary panel offers a slight redesign of the stationary panel, allowing for enough open volume to allow for the installation of a standard “six pack” or a 10-inch Primary Flight Display above the control yoke, along with a full radio stack, and right side Multi-function display.
Customizable Modular Cover Panels
1
Included in the kit are 5 customizable modular cover panels, allowing for easy upgrades in the future. No need to redesign the entire layout, simply swap out one section for future updates.
2
Three customizable upper panels offer the ability to start with a simple panel and expand avionics capabilities. Radiorax Avionics Rails are preinstalled in the stationary panel for easily upgradable center radio stack options. The lower control panel offers space for 21 circuit breakers and up to 8 switches, with the auxiliary panel offering space for an optional map box or expanded circuit breaker capacity.

STC and PMA Approved
1
The Legacy XL Stationary Panel saves you time and money by offering a complete approved solution ready to install. Skip the costly and time consuming DER or Field Approval for a one time solution to the Major Alteration required to fit 10-inch PFD’s.
2
PMA approved means everything is built in our facility located at the Bellingham International Airport (KBLI). Assembled by hand, each panel is built by our team and adheres to quality standards. From stationary panel to cover panels, you receive the care and attention of our team through every step of your instrument panel upgrade process.

Fleet Modernization and Standardization
1
For flight schools, older aircraft often come at a lower price point than a brand new aircraft. For pre-1976 Cessna 172’s, which don’t have the standard six-pack, the Legacy XL Stationary Panel can help. Give your older Cessnas the same instrument layout as your 172N models and later.
2
Upgrade an entire fleet of legacy 172’s to have the same instrument panel layout, whether with a six pack or glass cockpit avionics. Help students learn faster by creating uniform learning platforms across your fleet. Students can transition between different aircraft easier, reducing training delays.
Added Value to Your VREF Aircraft Valuation
When considering an avionics upgrade, it is important to consider what will fit. If cutting of the stationary panel is performed, this is considered a Major Alteration and requires engineering to substantiate the change. Ignore this step and consider what it might do to the resale value of your aircraft in the future. Even one-time DER approved solutions may limit the upgradability of your aircraft in the future.
The Legacy XL Stationary Panel is included in VREF’s value added options. The full purchase price of your Legacy XL Stationary Panel kit will instantly be added to the value of your aircraft. By installing this STC you will increase your aircraft’s value, structural integrity, and future upgradability. By thoughtfully upgrading your aircraft with this complete kit, you’ll prolong the value and life of the airplane.
