G600, G950 Optional In Single, Upcoming Twin

Garmin and Tecnam Aircraft announced Friday at AERO Friedrichshafen 2009 the availability of Garmin G950 and G600 as optional avionics for the twin-engine P2006T, and single-engine P2002 JF & P2002 JR, respectively.

"Since their founding over 60 years ago, Tecnam Aircraft has developed a reputation for manufacturing a diverse fleet of extremely reliable and high quality aircraft," said Gary Kelley, Garmin’s vice president of marketing. "We're are looking forward to working with Tecnam and are confident their customers will appreciate the situational awareness and integration that comes from the G950 and G600."

Garmin's G600 will be available on the P2002 JF (fixed gear) & P2002 JR (retractable gear) two-seat aircraft. The G600 incorporates two individual displays -- a PFD and MFD -- combining primary flight data including attitude and air data with navigation, weather, terrain and traffic data displayed in an intuitive pictorial format on dual LCD displays. The G600 is also designed to integrate with Garmin’s panel mount WAAS GPS products.

The Tecnam P2006T is a twin-engine, four-seat aircraft with fully retracting landing gear. It will feature Garmin's G950, an all-glass avionics suite that is based on the popular G1000, but is designed for aircraft manufacturers who want a standardized avionics configuration and will complete certification of their airframe’s avionics panel on their own. The P2006T's G950 avionics is a two panel display that will integrate all primary flight, navigation, communication, terrain, traffic, surveillance, and weather data on the high-definition LCDs.
