Jay, I would suggest that you not remove avionics that would make the
airplane less worthy IFR. Godforbid you decide to move up to a Cherokee 6
and decide to sell the pathfinder, your future buyer may balk at an
airplane
with only a single nav radio and a VFR GPS. Spend the extra bucks for the
IFR certified version.
It would not have a single NAV radio, as my primary radio is a digital Narco
810+R.
Our plane also has dual VOR's, both with glideslope, and a backup vacuum
system. By adding the GNC 250XL I would be gaining a panel mount GPS and
digital Com, while losing an antiquated DME and analog Com radio.
I don't know too many people who would say that such a change would diminish
Atlas' value.
