Packages Add WAAS Capability, Synthetic Vision To
G1000-Equipped Singles
Diamond Aircraft announced Friday the introduction of major
avionics upgrades available to owners of G1000-equipped Diamond
DA40s. Upgrades include electronic charts, WAAS capability, as well
as Garmin's latest safety-enhancing functionality, Garmin Synthetic Vision
Technology.
"At Diamond, we focus on safety, and on maintaining resale value
of our aircraft for owners. We are excited that working with
Garmin, we are yet again able to provide access to the latest
avionics to our installed base, without making obsolete their
investment," said Heike Larson, VP of Sales and Marketing at
Diamond. "We are pleased that not only were we the first to offer
Garmin's SVT certified on a new aircraft, but that we are also the
first to make this major safety-enhancing technology available to
our DA40 installed base."
In addition to a software-only upgrade, three complete upgrade
packages are available: Garmin charts, WAAS basic or WAAS with
coupled VNAV capability (for GFC700 equipped aircraft only.) Two
add-on options -- SVT and ChartView -- can be added to each of the
three upgrade packages. Owners who already have Charts or WAAS need
not buy a full upgrade package, but instead can add SVT and
ChartView through a special add-on kit.
Diamond customers with a G1000-equipped DA40 will receive a
detailed letter explaining upgrade functionality, process and
pricing over the next week. Kits will be available to ship by June
1, and can be ordered from Diamond directly by any Diamond
Authorized Service Center.
