Avionics
All decked out. Everywhere to go.
Take the controls just once behind the Garmin G1000® glass cockpit with integrated Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT™), and you’ll never again want to fly any other way. The avionics suite integrates all primary flight, engine and sensor data with the SVT’s three-dimensional terrain display for at-a-glance situational awareness. The G1000 also incorporates a fully integrated transponder and dual Nav/Comm/WAAS/GPS equipment. Two large, colorful, 10.4-inch high-resolution active-matrix LCDs gather and present real-time flight-critical data, including traffic information, digital altitude, heading data, and topographic and relative terrain mapping. It also features subscription-based XM WX Satellite Weather™ with XM Satellite Radio®. The avionics suite includes engine indication, crew alerting and a digital audio panel, all of which bring new levels of safety, confidence and just plain fun to the Cessna single-engine line. Plus, the G1000 is also standard on our Caravan and the Citation Mustang models. So should your mission change, your transition between aircraft will be significantly smoother.
One of the advantages of the Garmin G1000 is the optional GFC 700 autopilot. The GFC 700 provides in-flight support features that, until recently, could only be found on larger commercial aircraft, such as a Go Around button and fl ight-level change. Once programmed and engaged, the GFC 700 is capable of performing virtually all of the necessary pilot actions between climb-out and fi nal descent. With precise vertical and horizontal guidance, it puts you right on the nose of your approach and can even schedule airspeeds for both climbs and descents. And is available with every new Cessna ranging from the Skyhawk SP to the Citation Mustang, any transition to a higherperformance Cessna is that much smoother and more intuitive.
