Anatomy of a Panel Upgrade with John Van Bladeren

About this event


John’s presentation takes us behind the scenes of a full avionics panel transformation—from concept to completion. He’ll walk us through his decision-making process, the planning and prep involved, and the surprises (good and bad) that popped up along the way. With photos and real-world insights from his own aircraft, this talk will resonate with anyone who’s ever considered updating their cockpit—or just enjoys a good tech story with aviation flair.

Whether you’re thinking about upgrading your own panel or just want to see what goes into a modern retrofit, this is a can’t-miss evening.

John Van Bladeren is a CAA Member (1982), a Past President 2000, and a member of CAA's Executive Board.
