Garmin G1000

Filed in archive Aviation News on April 5, 2005

I know this product is not new as it was launched in 2004, but I'm salivating over it nonetheless. Here's the blurb from the Garmin website about an avionics system that is exciting even veteran pilots and aviation journalists.

The G1000� is a completely integrated avionics system designed to fit a broad range of aircraft models. It's an all-glass flightdeck that presents flight instrumentation, location, navigation, communication, and identification data on large-format, high-resolution displays. The digital data presentation on the G1000 puts all flight-critical information literally at the pilot's fingertips.

It's jet cockpit engineering brought down to GA level. I envy the pilot who flies a plane with one of these decks onboard.
