For the prop and engine models, I've been working with the performance numbers (and TCDS) for a Cessna 172R, which means that our target is fairly new (IO360 160 HP engine, max 2400 RPM, fixed-pitch prop). >From my research on the Web, the C172R default panel configuration (and the typical C172R for sale on the Web) comes with a simple GPS (not yet modelled), two NAVCOMM radios, ADF, transponder, and autopilot (no altitude control). There are two VOR gauges, one of which has a glidescope, and one ADF gauge. There are OMI marker lights, but no DME.
