Peter Morton and Del Fadden have provided an extensive write-up of the Arnav engine monitoring installation in their SR20. The write up is now available on the http://www.sr20.org/index.php3?maincont=stories/peter/chap3.htmlStories page of the SR20.ORG website.
It’s an excellent article - well written and very informative, with lots of pics. A must-read, and makes the engine monitoring option look like a must-have. Thanks Peter and Del.

Peter & Del (& Clyde),
Thanks so much for posting this very informative article. My plane is, as I type this, getting the monitoring package installed.
To date, your article is the most detailed description of the system I’ve seen. Unfortunately, the information on the Arnav website isn’t very comprehensive.
So thanks for giving such a detailed description!

Learned more from Peter and Del’s write-up than I did from the POH. Thanks for the effort!

My partners and I are in Seattle right now flying 365DP. This is a very nice airplane and the digital engine management works well (though something is wrong with CHT #3 probe).
It’s amazing how well balanced this engine is. The temps, especially the CHTs, are always withing 20 degrees (F) of each other.
We’ll prepare a full report next week.
btw, Wings Aloft has a first class facility at Boeing Field.

A very nice article! Perhaps Peter & Del can tell us when they expect the STC to be be completed so Cirrus can start adding the units as an option.
Any projection yet on the cost of the system?

To anyone who has the monitoring package installed:
I notice Peter & Del’s story shows that one parameter on the engine display is “Fuel to Destination”. Is this really the fuel required to the final destination in the flight plan, or is it just fuel to the next waypoint?
On a sorta related note, the Garmins and Arnav seem to only show ETE to the next waypoint, and don’t seem to be able to show ETE to the final destination in a flight plan.
Does anyone know of a way to get them to show time to final destination? It would save some mental math gymnastics sometimes.
(Obviously, ground speed [and hence both time and fuel burn] will vary as the heading varies along the route to your destination. But assuming that you are more-or-less going in an approximate straight line to the destination – i.e. no radical turns from opposite the wind to with the wind – it should be possible to use your current groundspeed as an estimate.)
Thanks

Has anyone in Florida had the engine monitoring package installed, or getting ready to do it?

How much is installation???

You can set up the display on the FPL page to show you cumulative ETE and ETA to each waypoint (and thus also to the destination.) The nice thing about having two 430s is that you can tailor the two displays to be complementary in terms of information.

Thanks Dave! Guess I still need to learn some stuff about the 430!
