“G1000 NXi-equipped aircraft are recognized for their advanced
capabilities and significant performance upgrades, and today we’re
excited to add another aircraft to the eligibility list,” said Carl
Wolf, vice president of aviation sales and marketing. “When pilots
fly behind this modern integrated flight deck, they’ll immediately
notice its smooth and responsive display and appreciate the latest,
innovative features – they’ll wonder how they ever flew without the
G1000 NXi.”
State-of-the-art processors support faster map rendering and
smoother panning throughout the G1000 NXi displays. The flight
displays also initialize in seconds so pilots have immediate access
to frequencies, flight plan data and more, saving valuable time in
the cockpit. The G1000 NXi integrated flight deck also incorporates
contemporary animations and LED back-lighting, offering increased
display brightness and clarity, reduced power consumption and
improved dimming performance.
The G1000 NXi integrated flight deck boasts a comprehensive
feature set with new and advanced capabilities. Unique features
included as part of the G1000 NXi upgrade for the Piper Meridian
include:
- SurfaceWatch runway monitoring technology, which 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 based on performance data entered during preflight.
- Visual approaches offer pilots enhanced guidance in visual
flight conditions based on a three-degree glideslope from the
threshold of the runway. Pilots can set customized minimums, select
vectors or straight-in for the final approach intercept and fly a
visual approach coupled with the autopilot.
- Geographical map overlay within the HSI supports the display of
NEXRAD, Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) weather1,
weather radar, SafeTaxi® airport diagrams, traffic1, terrain and
more.
- Flight Stream 510 and Connext® technology enables Database
Concierge, the wireless transfer of aviation databases from the
Garmin Pilot™ app on a mobile device to the G1000 NXi integrated
flight deck. Flight Stream 510 also supports two-way flight plan
transfer, the sharing of traffic, weather, GPS information and
back-up attitude information.
- The G1000 NXi system supports the display of various Automatic
Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) In benefits via the GTX™
345R transponder2.
- Pilots can optionally overlay European Visual Reporting Points
(VRPs) on the moving map, as VRPs are standard within the
navigation database.
- Display of sectional charts, as well as IFR low/high enroute
charts are available on the MFD.
- Smart Airspace highlights the airspace nearest the aircraft’s
current altitude and de-emphasizes non-pertinent airspace.
- COM frequencies are decoded and displayed on the PFD for easier
interpretation.
- Decoded Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAFs) can be viewed on
the MFD.
- Split-screen functionality allows pilots to view flight plans,
charts and more simultaneously.
- An optional audio panel upgrade offers advanced features such
as 3D Audio, auto squelch and Bluetooth® connectivity.
The G1000 NXi integrated flight deck upgrade for existing
G1000-equipped Piper Meridian aircraft is available immediately
through select Garmin dealers. Meridian owners and operators can
easily upgrade to the G1000 NXi with minimal aircraft down time and
disruption of the panel as the displays preserve the same footprint
and connectors, so panel modifications are not required. 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 information regarding the
