OLATHE, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Garmin International, Inc., a unit of #garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), today announced certification of the G1000® NXi integrated flight deck upgrade for Embraer’s Phenom 100 business jets equipped with the Prodigy Flight Deck. The #g1000nxi offers these aircraft owners and operators an array of modern features, including wireless connectivity, SurfaceWatch™ runway monitoring technology, visual approach guidance, HSI map and more. The displays also preserve the same footprint and connectors so time to complete the #g1000nxi upgrade is minimized.
“Since its introduction, the #g1000nxi integrated flight deck continues to grow in popularity and demand,” said Carl Wolf, vice president of aviation sales and marketing. “From forward-fit to retrofit, we are thrilled by the tremendous adoption rate of the #g1000nxi and look forward to adding more aircraft to the approval list and continuing to deliver the system to thousands of customers well into the future.”
A wealth of modern integrated flight deck features and benefits accompany the #g1000nxi upgrade in the Phenom 100. Wireless connectivity is available as standard with the Flight Stream 510 and Connext® technology, which enables the wireless transfer of aviation databases from the #garmin Pilot™ app on a mobile device to the #g1000nxi. Additional wireless capabilities include two-way flight plan transfer, the sharing of traffic1, weather1, GPS information, back-up attitude information and more, between the #g1000nxi and the #garmin Pilot, FltPlan Go and ForeFlight Mobile applications.
The #g1000nxi also supports the display of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) In traffic and subscription-free Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) weather. FIS-B weather products include: NEXRAD, METARs, TAFs, PIREPs, winds and temperatures aloft and more. Exclusive traffic features such as Garmin’s patented TargetTrend™ and TerminalTraffic™ further enhance the traffic picture. These ADS-B In benefits combine to give Phenom 100 owners and operators superior situational awareness tools. The GWX™ 75 weather radar is also available as an option, which incorporates exceptional range and a high-definition color palette that features four-times more color contouring than typically displayed by other weather radars on the market.
The #g1000nxi integrated flight deck in the Phenom 100 also supports additional features, including:
Modernized displays offer improved readability and state-of-the-art processors support smoother panning and faster map rendering within the #g1000nxi. The #g1000nxi integrated flight deck also incorporates contemporary animations and new LED back-lighting, offering increased display brightness and clarity, reduced power consumption, and improved dimming performance.
The #g1000nxi upgrade for the Phenom 100 is available immediately through select #garmin dealers and Embraer Service & Support centers. The #g1000nxi upgrade for Embraer’s Phenom 300 business jets equipped with the Prodigy Flight Deck is expected to be available during the second half of 2020.
