minimized.

“Given the popularity and adoption rate of the G1000 NXi upgrade
programs, we’re excited to grow this program to now include the
Phenom 300,” said Carl Wolf, vice president of aviation sales and
marketing. “Significant performance enhancements accompany
exclusive features such as wireless flight plan transfer that
result in time savings in the cockpit, making this upgrade
essential for all Phenom 300 owners and operators.”
Connext® technology is available as standard on the G1000 NXi in
the Phenom 300, which enables the wireless transfer of aviation
databases from the Garmin Pilot™ app on a mobile device to the
integrated flight deck. Additional wireless capabilities include
two-way flight plan transfer, the sharing of GPS information,
back-up attitude information and more, between the G1000 NXi and
Garmin Pilot, FltPlan Go and ForeFlight Mobile applications.
The GWX™ 75 Doppler weather radar is available as an option with
the G1000 NXi in the Phenom 300 and incorporates exceptional range
and a high-definition color palette that features four-times more
color contouring than typically displayed by other weather radars
on the market. Boasting a solid-state design, the GWX 75 offers
reduced power consumption and extended life compared to earlier
generation, magnetron-based weather radars.
The G1000 NXi integrated flight deck in the Phenom 300 also
supports additional features, including:
- Pilots can overlay a moving map within the horizontal situation
indicator (HSI).
- The addition of SurfaceWatch runway monitoring technology
provides visual and aural cues to help prevent pilots from taking
off or landing on a taxiway, on a runway that is too short or on
the wrong runway.
- Visual approach guidance helps pilots fly a more stable descent
and precise flight path throughout the approach and landing phases
of flight.
- Split screen view is available on the multi-function display,
offering a simultaneous view of maps, charts and more.
- The addition of sectional charts and IFR low/high enroute
charts give pilots convenient access to chart data on the flight
display.
- Smart Airspace™ highlights the airspace nearest the aircraft’s
current altitude and de-emphasizes non-pertinent airspace.
- Optional Bluetooth® connectivity built-in to the audio panel
allows pilots to easily stream audio entertainment and make or
receive phone calls using their headsets. Additional audio panel
functions include 3D Audio and advanced auto squelch.
Modernized displays offer improved readability and
state-of-the-art processors support smoother panning and faster map
rendering within the G1000 NXi. The G1000 NXi integrated flight
deck also incorporates contemporary animations and new LED
back-lighting, offering increased display brightness and clarity,
reduced power consumption, and improved dimming performance.
The G1000 NXi upgrade for the Phenom 300 is available
immediately through select Garmin dealers and Embraer Service &
Support centers. The upgraded components of the G1000 NXi also come
with a two-year warranty, which is supported by Garmin’s
award-winning avionics product support team. For additional
