Custom panel installation
as easy as 1-2-3

The NextGen Panel System all starts with the configuration and installation of the new panel frame. The new frame supplies enough room to install your choice of dual PFD/MFD!

After you have purchased the panel frame for your aircraft from McFarlane Aviation:


Step 1:

Download the panel plate template and configure for your choice of avionics.

Each panel frame has a dedicated panel plate CAD file. Different layers turn on and off different Garmin and Dynon avionics. Review our installation instructions in the documents button below.

Step 2:

Download the switchplate and lower overlays and configure for your aircraft.

The NextGen panel system is built on consistency. All panel frames have an identical lower portion. The lower overlays are configured in CAD by turning on and off different layers. All mounting holes are already located. These overlays can come backlit, or normal silk-screened.

Step 3:

Submit documents for approval.

The NGPS is a supporting alteration. This means it is done in support of an Avionics STC, such as SA01899WI for the Garmin G3X, and as such is a custom product. Once you have completed step 1, submit the required information, and we will send you back the FAA documents required.
