On 6/5/01 I ordered engineview from Arnav for my SR22 that was picked up on 6/18/01. The Unit arrived at my local Cirrus service center and an appointment was made for installation. The week before the appointment the service center called and advised that the Cleveland FSDO would not provide the needed field approval of the 337. After a valiant effort from the service center it was determined that the FAA avionics specialist in Wichita has taken the position that field approvals should not be given for this installation. This makes it unlikely that other FSDO’s will provide approval. Arnav is apparently aware of the situation since they have had conversations with this avionics specialist. It looks like the STC must be approved before any installation will happen. I was advised that this could take a year! If anyone knows of a solution I would appreciate their advice.
Say it ain’t so!

Very disappointing if true, but there’s always the quite functional option of installing an aftermarket engine monitor such as Insight or EDM700/800, even if there are minor aesthetic detriments to doing so. I believe the owner of N6000C installed an EDM800 and has been quite happy with it.
Personally I have always wondered why an engine monitor isn’t standard equipment in these planes, although I suppose Cirrus was counting on ARNAV to provide this function through their MFD.

Ed,
I talked about your problem a couple weeks ago on this forum. We must use the same service center.
If you have time please send me an email at mjeffries@thermtrol.com. We must be located in the same area.
Regards,
Mark Jeffries

This is N6000C
The JPI EDM300 is alive, well and performing wonderfully. Why would anyone want to clutter up the big screen for a part time engine monitor?
Mine is already installed, and field approved. What does this mean for my installation? Service from Arnav? Will software updates still include engineview?
