Save $5K on a G600
Garmin says Christmas can come WAY early... and in this case, in
April. They are a offering a limited time, $5,000 "Spring Special"
retrofit rebate on the G600 all-glass avionics system.
This is the largest aviation rebate Garmin has ever offered and
will help make it possible for customers to transform their
avionics panel from out-dated dials and steam gauges to all-glass.
The $5,000 G600 rebate is available from April 21 to June 30, 2009,
and may also be combined with an ongoing Garmin incentive program
where customers can earn up to an additional $4,000 in rebates off
of a G600 package (up to $9,000 in total rebates available).
The G600 is Garmin's all-glass retrofit avionic suite that
received FAA certification in July 2008 and is approved for
installation on over 785 aircraft makes and models. The G600
received EASA's ETSO approval in April 2009, which makes it
eligible for installation in European registered aircraft with a
certification weight up to 5,700 kgs.
The G600 combines critical flight data and displays it on two
6.5 inch diagonal flat-panel LCDs. These high resolutions screens
are mounted side by side in a single bezel (10"w x 6.7"h) that fits
neatly into the "six-pack" slot of an instrument panel (attitude,
airspeed, altitude, vertical speed, turn coordinator and
directional gyro). They feature brilliant color and advanced
backlighting, so pilots can view images in sharper detail - even in
direct sunlight.
On the left-hand side, the 6.5 inch PFD seamlessly integrates
all situational information regarding the aircraft's position,
speed, attitude, vertical rate, altitude, steering and flight
progress. The PFD display increases the pilot's attitude indication
by over 50 percent over a traditional 3-inch attitude indicator.
The system is certified to interface with many general aviation
autopilots acting as a navigation source selector and provides GPS
roll steering data enabling the autopilot to fly arcs, procedure
turns, and holding patterns (if part of the approach). Additional
features like altitude pre-select and flight director are available
in a select number of autopilots.
On the right side, the 6.5 inch MFD provides detailed moving-map
graphics of the aircraft's current position in relation to ground
features, chart data, navaids, flight plan routings and more. The
MFD give pilots a clear, concise picture of where they are relative
to terrain, airspace, weather, and traffic. Pilots may also select
the optional ChartView, an electronic version of Jeppesen's
extensive library of charts and airport diagrams.
The G600 is available now at a suggested retail price of
$29,995. It includes the GDU 620 display/control unit, GRS 77 AHRS,
GDC 74A digital air data computer, GMU 44 tri-axial magnetometer,
GTP 59 temp probe, and the required leveling brackets.
