Currently, the SLSA version of the RV-12 in Standard Trainer trim costs $189,500, which includes a single-screen EFIS (Dynon HDX or Garmin G3X), Garmin GTR 200 comm radio and remote transponder. The view over the tapered cowling takes a bit of adjustment if you’re used to seeing a lot more of the airplane, as does the low approach speed.

But as with any airplane, a good (and safe) landing begins with a stable approach that’s on speed. Look for pitch porpoising, roll oscillations, approach coupling, and at the general health of the KI256 flight director gyro that drives the system. ADS-B came from a Garmin GTX 345R transponder, which was $5,443.

Lastly, I have seen certain panels not push ADS-B data to an EFB due to the way the avionics and/or transponder was configured or due to some conflict with a portable ADS-B device like a Stratus or GDL substance. So how do you modify your flight plan or brief an approach? Same goes with traffic and terrain.
