"We are thrilled that we will now be able to deliver G1000 equipped DA40's to our customers. We are very grateful to our customers and distributors who have been patiently waiting for this day. We are also indebted to our employees who have exhibited dedication and maximum flexibility in staging as many aircraft as possible, such that we can deliver at a very accelerated rate from July onwards. Garmin has been a committed and excellent partner throughout this project and we are also impressed with the rapid turnaround by the FAA Wichita Aircraft Certification Office."
