Avionics FAQ

The original gas discharge display (GDD) for the KY-196A has been phased out by Honeywell. A new display with LED technology is available for the KY-196A by way of Service Bulletin 13. The new LED provides a brighter, sharper display with longer life. SB 13 consists of replacing the display and one resistor, removing two resistors, and adding 2 wires.

Please note that this Service Bulletin mainly applies to KY-196A -30/50/60 units Serial Number 31509 and below.

Southeast Aerospace can update your KY-196A to the new, more reliable LED display for approximately $770 with a lead-time of less than 5 days. For complete details, please contact Southeast Aerospace Tech Support at shop@seaerospace.com.
