Sorry, yes, I meant the HSI system.
But I would still speak to a part 21 firm (more than one, for obvious reasons). There are ways to do most things...
You don't need an STC to install something below the level of an EFIS display (horizon and speed and altitude tapes on one screen)
Wouldn't an Aspen qualify for the need to have an STC under that definition ? Or were you referring to the installation of the King HSI?

I suggest you speak to a competent EASA Part 21 outfit.
Alternatively you can go N-reg
I have not checked whether your type of plane is on there but it might be worth a look.
Thank you for the list. Virtually every GA aircraft is on it except ours.
This must be because Socata has given up the TC for the ST-10. The reason, I suppose, was the minimal spare parts business. This doesn't make the ST-10 an Annex 2 aircraft, however, but leaves it stranded on this list somewhere in between.
But there might be another one coming on the market soon ;-)
Just drop me a line, okay?
Aspen recently obtained an Approved Model list from EASA (this would void the need for an individual STC). I have not checked whether your type of plane is on there but it might be worth a look.
Damn, a few weeks too late :-) ...
But there might be another one coming on the market soon ;-) Should know in about two weeks time.

I cannot comment from personal experience but I was looking at one, too. The feedback I got from a few guys in the US who use this as back-up "removable" was pretty good through-out though.
Thank you for the helpful replies. I'll keep an eye open for a KI525, the AI was to be inspected ASAP anyway.
I sold my entire KCS55 very recently for $2500

I for one would definitely not want to fly in IMC with an ipad on my knee...
You are right, on the knee it would not be very useful. I was thinking about our installation using a holder at the side (but we use it for the Jeppesen plates mainly). For us it is important that it is a "removable installation" in case of an inspection - everything attached to the panel and wired to the aircraft electrics would be an unapproved fixed installation.
