Chad was the only one working in the hangar, and he took me to a private room where I set up to spend a few hours working on the Gleim FIRC. Once there, the plane was quickly pulled into a new hangar. It was good to get back in the air and exercise the plane, which had been sitting idle for awhile. but with gas at $2.99 the cost wasn't that much. So, armed with face mask, Clorox wipes, gloves, and hand sanitizer I flew up on May 15th, the one good day between storm systems in Oregon and California at the time. I didn't want to stay overnight at any motel. That meant that I could leave early in the morning, fly up, get the work done, and fly back, all in the same day. They said they could do the job in about 3 hours including all the paperwork and could start the job in about 2 weeks. I got what I thought was a fair bid from Pacific Coast.
It turns out that they had provided one of the best bids for my GFC 500 autopilot upgrade, but they had so much business that I was going to have to wait 6 months for them to do it, so I went with Accurate Aero in Minden, Nevada. I called around quite a bit and finally found an organization that was more than willing to do the exchange upgrade, Pacific Coast Avionics in Aurora, Oregon.

While Sarasota Avionics in Florida has an upgrade program, they weren't a possibility here on the West Coast. As I mentioned in another post, after AirVenture was canceled for 2020, I decided to trade its cost for the cost of the GTN 750 and GTN 650 upgrade.
