It's $1,095 instead of the $500 mentioned at the start, but Dynon has a very good answer: http://www.dynonavionics.com/docs/PocketPanel.html.

It also has Bluetooth out so it can be connect to a phone or ipad app.

I've been using a Dynon D10A for IFR flying in my HP for the last 4 years.. It's a full panel mounted EFIS. I've been very happy with it.

Thanks Charlie,
The Dynon seems to be good for much more than once-in-a-blue-moon flight into IMC. I would gladly throw out my altimeter, ASI and compass for this compact device. Can we do that in Experimental certified gliders? All you would need in a modern glider is: EFIS, vario, flight computer, radio, transponder and PFlarm, right? Still a lot of stuff but it's progress.

Check your flight manual for what you need.

I'm not suggesting that electronic instruments would not be acceptable,
just that you must have the specified instruments/functionality. BTW,
none of the items you mentioned are, to my knowledge, required - at
least not in my experimental LAK-17a.

Cheers!
