Panel Planner Avionics/Maintenance Shop
Panel Planner Avionics/Maintenance Shop
Flying a small aircraft above the clouds is one of the great thrills of a lifetime. The avionics and maintenance shop helps make sure the pilot gets back. That pilot will come in for an avionics proposal but not return for 3 months or 3 years! This professional Panel Planner version contains tools for tracking past proposals by tail number and owner name. The designed panel files can be stored on a central server or the cloud. Panel Planner can also manage past budgets and estimate labor costs. This Panel Planner version may be shared between everyone involved. It can also be copied to home, work, or mobile computer, all at no additional cost. A shop may buy with a credit card, purchase order, or on installments.
Panel Planner 2023 doubled the speed, added designing for powder coat, carbon fiber, laser etching and added capability for obtaining quality wiring harnesses. Panel Planner 2023 helps increase panel revenue and reduce wiring costs. This is the first price increase in 4 years, you can still buy the week of the AEA Convention at the old prices. Click Here

Surveyed shops felt that including a panel picture in the quote increased sales by 25%.“It’s a great sales tool because we use it for making the design of panels for the customers. Based on this we provide quotes to the customer. It’s been a great tool. There really nothing else like it out there.” Rick Garcia, President Gulf Coast Avionic
CAD Preparation
The panel design is also a CAD file. The inset here is exported from Panel Planner. It shows individual cutout and screw holes, all editable in a CAD program. The software exports DXF or G-Code for CNC, PDF for silk screening, JPG or PNG for laser engraving, or SVG for web-based software. We will also use AutoCad to send different versions of DXF or DWG. There is no additional cost and free unlimited technical support.
Rework Killer
Stop doing it again. Instead have the customer, the quoter, and the installer working from the same active design. Easily make different panel designs. On average customers change designs six times. Print a full-size panel to verify look/feel. Make a clear plastic CNC cut panel adjust for sizing and obstructions like the sample here. Kill rework.
“In 10 years of selling Panel Planner has no complaints because without the software it is 4 times the labor, time, and money.” Ryan Deck past Avionics Manager at Aircraft Spruce.
