They key things are autopilot ie does it have GFC700, WAAS and ADS-B

[my bold]

Isn’t that what I said?

Can a G1000 be WAAS but the aircraft not be LPV capable, actually or legally? That is certainly possible for commercial aircraft.

Well, one does need an AFMS supplement authorising GPS approaches and LPV specifically but would there be a G1000 installation which is WAAS and which didn’t come with that? That would entrap nearly all pilots.

@ABCD: I think he means this checklist: Checklista för överföring av begagnade luftfartyg från EU/EASA

No problem and good luck. I would probably also recommend to use a broker for these (rather expensive)airplane types. There are many pits to fall in.

This aircraft list Garmin GRS 77 VOR, which is not correct as GRS 77. You possibly would be interested to know (and verify) if it has GIA-63 or GIA-63W units.

The non W units are non WAAS, and prevents you to fly LPV / LNAV/VNAV approaches. As these will become more common, the lack of these might limit your operation.

I have verified with the seller and they have confirmed the aircraft has GIA-63. Is it possible to upgrade it to GIA-63W? I have heard this can be done with a STC, how much does the upgrade cost?

Many thanks

Yes it can be done on most, but not all aircraft. It depends if the manufacturer made an upgrade path for that aircraft, or if there is a thirdth party STC available.
