Easy to install with a standard hole saw. Brings in much more air than I ever imagined. Used my own stainless hardware with nylon insert nuts rather than acorn nuts included.

Q: What is the hole diameter and do you have a better picture of it? Thx, Dan

The hole diameter is approximately 2". We will be adding a better photo of the Vista Vent later this afternoon. (Feb. 12, 2013)

Q: Does the vista vent need an STC to installed on a BN 2 Islander?

These Vista Vents ARE approved to be installed on a Cessna 162 only and would not require an STC. All other certified aircraft will require a 337 form filled out to be installed.

Q: Can this be installed in a twin that has a faster airspeed? Our Navajos get very hot up front in the summer.

Per Supplier, Yes it can be installed on twin engine aircraft. There is no speed limitations and has never been an issue with a faster airspeed aircraft.

Q: What is the outside diameter of the vista vents (the very outside measurements)?

The outside diameter of the Vista Vents is 3-1/2".

Q: What document proves they are approved for a certified aircraft? I have a C172H and the A&P will require more than my word they are approved befoer installing them. Any help would be appreciated. Best, Bruce

Please take a look at the 'Documents' tab on the web page. The available approval document can be downloaded there.

Q: Are these vents sold individually or do they come as a pair?

These vents are priced and sold individually.

Q: Is the hardware stainless steel?

No. It is not stainless.
