The Instrument Panel of the CH 640

Picture
The stock instrument panel measures nearly 41 inches (104 cm.) across and 11 inches (28 cm.) high, providing plenty of room for custom avionics and IFR instrumentation (depth behind the panel is up to 21 inches / 53 cm.).  In the kit, the pre-formed instrument panel bulkhead is supplied in 'blank' form to allow builder to fully customize instrument layout.

The formed instrument panel bulkhead is supplied ‘blank’ to allow builders to fully customize instruments and avionics installations – from basic VFR (visual flight rules) to full IFR (instrument flight rules) custom panels.

The above panel layouts are just sample installations.  Many of the circuit breakers and switches can be clustered closer together to yield more panel space for additional avionics.  Most builders create their own custom panels, or many avionics shops can put together and wire your full panel.
