GARMIN G600 Panel Retrofit Now Available For PILATUS PC-12
In cooperation with Garmin Ltd., Pilatus Business Aircraft Ltd received a Supplemental Type Certificate from the FAA to install the Garmin G600 avionics system in all pre-NG PC-12 aircraft produced between 1994 and 2008. The retrofit enables PC-12 owners to take advantage of modern flat-panel avionics features that reduce pilot work
load, improve situational awareness, reduce maintenance costs, an d help enhance owners' investment in their aircraft.
Working with Garmin navigation units, the Garmin G600 New Perspectiveâ„¢ avionics system for the PC-12 pairs both the primary flight display (PFD) and the multi-function display (MFD) in a single 10" wide flat-panel LCD screen. The installation also incorporates the functionality of the PC-12's angle-of-attack information on the G600 PFD. The G600 New Perspectiveâ„¢ system includes the L3 Trilogy Electronic Standby Instrument System, making the PC-12's panel a full-
glass configuration.
Garmin SVTâ„¢ Synthetic Vision Technology, TAWS-B terrain alerting, FliteCharts® and SafeTaxi® come pre-installed as standard on the G600 New Perspectiveâ„¢ for the Pilatus PC-12. Geo-referenced ChartViewâ„¢ instrument approach plates and airport surface charts are available with an optional JeppViewâ„¢ subscription. Optional inputs allow overlay of XMâ„¢ satellite weather, onboard radar, traffic alerts and other data.
Support for an optional radar altimeter control/display is provided and there's also a video input option that will let the G600 MFD function as a live-cam video monitor.
