Now You Can Experience a New Level of Performance in Your King Air
The future of avionics for the King Air has arrived in the form of Garmin's G1000. This glass panel avionics suite is taking this classic airframe to the next level of safety and performance.
The Garmin G1000 package is the first ever approved for aftermarket retrofit on King Air C90, 200 an B200 series aircraft. This upgrade offers state-of-the-art display monitors and a full menu of features designed for safer and more efficient flying. Combine the modern look of the G1000 glass cockpit with a custom paint job, interior refurbishment, maintenance inspections and/or airframe modifications from Elliott Aviation, and you can transform your King Air into the aircraft of your dreams while greatly increasing its value.
The "Big Picture"
The G1000 system features a 15-inch "big picture" Multi-Function Display (MFD), with a 10-inch Primary Flight Display (PFD) on each side. These monitors offer high-resolution XGA (1024 x768 pixel) color screens with wide viewing angles, advanced back-lighting, and crystal-sharp readability, even in bright sunlight.
The center MFD is used for engine and fuel systems monitoring, and also provides a detailed moving-map displaying the aircraft's position in relation to ground features, chart data, navaids, flight plan routings, and more. The map display is designed to allow pilots to add or delete overlays such as graphical weather, lightning, traffic, terrain and other avoidance system advisories in order to customize the map view at any given phase of the flight.
The pilot and co-pilot PFDs incorporate aircraft attitude, airspeed, climb rate, altimeter and horizontal course/heading information - as well as Flight Director command bar cues and mode information when combined with Garmin's GFC 700 automatic flight control system.
The Total Package
The complete, integrated avionics suite in the G1000 package replaces all existing avionics equipment and wiring, and takes less than four weeks to install. The new lighter equipment reduces the gross weight of the aircraft by approximately 100 lbs. and also comes with a full 2-year equipment warranty. With an extensive list of easy-to-use features, the G1000 provides safer and more efficient operation, and with new SafeTaxi Airport charts, pilots can be assured of greater situational awareness both in the air and on the ground.
Other features of the G1000 include:
- Dual integrated radio modules, providing WAAS-certified GPS; VHF navigation with ILS; and VHF communication with 16-watt transceivers and 25kHz or 8.33 kHz channel spacing
