What's your guy's thoughts on JetTech STC's?

My shop despises them due to the amount of things that's incorrect in them and their refusal to revise the STC's.

I was just curious as to what the general feeling is towards them and their STC's outside of our shop.

I need wiring and connection details.
dimensions.

I've had my plane a couple years now, put 100hours on it this year, and got to find most of the bugs and after sitting 15 years in the desert find out what works and doesnt.

The engine doesnt appear its going to flat die on me, so I'm finally looking at the original Avionics for upgrade. I've thrown in a tailbeacon and a used KT76A to get by legally.

I had my heart set on a new dynon panel and AP, but at 45 AMU, I think that ship has sailed. The plane just doesnt warrant it.

Current Setup:

• KY 197A: Comm1
• KNS 80
• KX 165: Comm2 / Nav
• KAP 150: AP
• KR 87: ADF
• KT76A: Xponder
• GDL50: ADSB In external unit

The plane has a KNS80 which is cool as hell, but the usable VOR availability is pretty bad where I am.

At this point I'm thinking of throwing a used GNX 375 in there to pick up GPS IFR capability while eliminating the tailbeacon, KT76A, and GDL50. This would allow me to keep the KNS80 for ILS and old school stuff.

Is this a reasonable approach? I want to use this to get my IFR ticket, but I also intended missions wont use it for long IFR flight. I just want to break the ceiling in both directions as needed.

Lastly, will the GNX work with the KAP to fly holds etc? Or does the GNX just send signal to an HSI and AP follows that?

Hi! If I self-study the EASA B2 modules and pass the exams at an approved centre, how likely am I to find a trainee position to gain the required experience?
I have no previous technical/aviation qualifications and can’t afford Part-147 school. I’m an EU citizen and willing to relocate anywhere in the EU.
Is this route worth starting, and how much could I earn during the practical experience? Has anyone here done B2 this way or been in a similar situation?
I’m also considering working as cabin crew for 1–2 years while studying the modules, then moving into B2/aircraft maintenance. How realistic would that plan be?

So I’m almost done with my A&P course and getting ready to test for my license. But the entire time I’ve been in school I’ve been working as a marine electrician at my local shipyard. I know they want experience but with my experience in electrical and communication systems … is it possible it could help me get into avionics? And maybe get a higher starting pay? Because currently I make around $32/hr so I would definitely want something higher if possible.

Thank you! New to this forum so just looking for insight. I also live in Alabama and we are getting a new international airport pretty soon. Just wanted to help with possible wage differences between states.
