What you could do is replace the KI525A with a Sandel SN3500 but retain the KG102A/KMT112. This will the allow you to drive the KI229 compass card. However with both the Aspen and Sandel, you can display bearing pointers, so is there any benefit in keeping the KI229?
For the price of a Sandel I’d upgrade the E5 to a Pro and have dual pointers. I’d move the ADF to the right just to have it installed.
A Sandel AND an Aspen seems overkill. I assume the KI229 will just work like a regular fixed-card indicator without the synced hdg ?
May I ask what your use case for the ADF is? I am about to ditch mine to make room for an EDM900 on the LHS panel. Could probably move the indicator to the RHS panel, but haven’t found a compelling reason.
Well, I have it and some procedures in Europe still require it. I wouldn’t spend any money on fixing it in case it broke.
The RMI for VOR/GPS I use a lot. I consider it IFR-fun.
If you have an ADF-only indicator and an efis of some sort then I would definitely move the ADF indicator to the RHS.
My EDM900 is going LHS as well.
