With its ultra-smooth 3-axis servo control inputs, Garmin’s all-digital GFC 700 flight control system provides the G1000 with a superior level of integration and response – combining sophisticated modes and functions, AHRS-based situational reference, and dual-channel, self-monitoring safety features once found only on high-end business jets. Using prestored King Air reference data to optimize performance over the entire airspeed regime, this advanced flight director/autopilot system offers precise lateral and vertical navigation guidance for all phases of flight. Airspeed holds, VNAV profiles, automatic nav-to-nav captures, coupled holding patterns, procedure turns, Go-Arounds, and more – the list of capabilities is unprecedented in this class of autopilot. Pilots will appreciate the positive, consistent response afforded by airspeed-scheduled trim – as well as the silky smooth roundouts and vertical intercepts that the system’s advanced software modeling provides on climbs and descents. These progressive flight control features bring an awesome level of support to the G1000’s WAAS-certified GPS navigation technology. Thanks to WAAS – the FAA’s Wide Area Augmentation System – thousands of previously fair-weather-only airports now have the potential to offer GPS-guided “glidepath” approaches down to ILS-comparable minimums (as low as 200-ft. decision height, 1/2-mile visibility) – without reference to ground-based navigation aids of any kind. Suddenly, the world of IFR is open to more all-weather landing options than ever. And your G1000-equipped King Air is all set to make the transition without missing a beat. Attitude enhancement with ESP™. Another safety-enhancing option available with the King Air G1000 retrofit is Garmin’s ESP™ (Electronic Stability and Protection) system1 . This electronic monitoring and exceedance-correcting technology works to assist the pilot in maintaining the aircraft in a safe, flight stable condition – helping to prevent excursions beyond normal flight envelope parameters that might lead to loss of control, should the pilot become distracted, disoriented or incapacitated during flight. In addition to pitch and roll correction, ESP also offers high and low airspeed protection whenever pilots are hand- flying their aircraft. If the ESP-equipped King Air is approaching VNE or VMO with the autopilot turned off, ESP will engage and apply back-pressure to the control yoke to increase the aircraft’s pitch attitude and prevent a further increase in airspeed. ESP has built-in parameters to help prevent the aircraft from exceeding G-limit load factors upon pullout. At the other end of the airspeed spectrum, ESP uses angle of attack/lift sensor inputs on the King Air to provide low airspeed or stall protection that provides a gentle pitch-down control force through the control yoke when the aircraft’s wing approaches its critical angle of attack. The ESP system is designed to augment, not overpower, the pilot’s control of the aircraft. Yet, by proactively helping to keep the aircraft flying within its design limits, Garmin believes ESP can have a significant and immediate effect on safety-of-flight for King Air pilots and their passengers. Extra peace-of-mind comes standard. Other key features that are offered as standard with the G1000 avionics suite include dual integrated solid-state Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS), and dual integrated RVSM-capable digital air data computers. For the higher- flying King Air 200 and 300/350 series, Garmin’s G1000 installation will also include Reduced Vertical Separation Minimums (RVSM) certification, enabling full operational access to the now-more-restrictive upper flight levels. Better still, no matter where you fly with your G1000-equipped King Air, you can count on the extra-solid confidence and security that come from knowing you’re backed by Garmin’s top-ranked warranty protection and worldwide product support network.

For a fraction of the cost of factory new, you could soon be flying the King Air flight deck of the future. Back in 1964, when the very first Beechcraft King Air rolled off the production line in Wichita, the future of business air travel was once and forever set into motion. At the time, we were still five years away from the first moon landing. Computers were the size of refrigerators. And no one had even heard of cellphones, laptops, Wi-fi, e-mails, websites, MP3s, datalinks or GPS satellites. Yet, anyone with an ounce of vision could see that this new King Air was a machine destined to bring business travelers face-to-face with a world of new opportunities. The airframe was incredibly versatile, comfortable, reliable, rugged and fuel- efficient. And it has remained so to this day. With each passing year, the Beech turboprop lineup has continued to evolve – adding performance and mission capability, while continuing to keep passengers fresh and relaxed in those big, roomy “squared oval” pressurized cabins that have long set the standard for travel comfort in business aviation. Today, the King Air line has been in continuous production longer than any other turbine business aircraft. It represents the largest, most successful family of twin turboprops in aviation history – numbering well over 6,000 aircraft and totaling 20+ million flight hours. What’s more, for King Air owners who want to fly with a more evolved “glass flight deck” avionics system, there’s now a Garmin G1000™ retrofit option for every King Air model in today’s Beechcraft lineup. The top-of-the-line King Air 300/350 series is joining the C90 and 200/B200 airframes already being “Garminized” at authorized installation centers industry-wide. Replacing outdated mechanical dials and instruments with state-of-the-art flat- panel displays, Garmin’s fully integrated G1000 package is a “fountain of youth” for your favorite King Air’s aging avionics. No other STC’d upgrade comes close – for anything close to the price. Garmin G1000: It’s the clear-as-glass choice for giving your King Air a fresh new lease on life.

The G1000’s MFD map display is designed to interface with a growing array of remote sensors and tracking systems, making it easy for pilots to overlay graphical weather, lightning, traffic, terrain and other avoidance system advisories. Sensor functions are selectable, letting the pilot add or deselect overlays, and thus “build at will” the map view he or she prefers for any given phase of flight. Class B TAWS terrain alerting comes standard, with TAWS-A as an available option. Also standard is weather data link capability, via XM Satellite Radio and the XM WX Satellite Weather receiver (subscription required). With the XM link, NEXRAD weather, METARs, TAFs, TFRs, winds aloft, echo tops, surface precipitation, lightning strikes, storm cell data, and more, can be received and displayed anywhere in the U.S., regardless of altitude. Garmin’s data link capability is the ideal supplement to the tactical weather guidance provided by the 6.5-kilowatt GWX 68™ onboard digital weather radar – which is also included in the standard retrofit packages. This fully stabilized 4-color radar features pilot-adjustable horizontal scans from 20 to 90 degrees – plus a useful vertical scanning mode to help analyze storm tops, gradients and cell buildup activity at various altitudes. If you’re flying globally, you can still have access to quality on-demand satellite weather data on a worldwide scale via the optional GSR™ 56 Iridium network transceiver 1 (subscription required). Radar and satellite imagery are available for the U.S., Southern Canada and Western Europe. Plus, the Garmin Iridium transceiver can also be used to provide global voice/data connectivity, as well as text messaging. Using the GSR 56, you can send text messages from virtually anywhere. Or make worldwide Iridium-based calls from your King Air’s cockpit or cabin while in-flight or on the ground. Using datalinks to save downtime. Another useful option for King Air owners who want their service crews to have instantaneous access to maintenance and operational data is the Garmin GDL™ 591 . It’s a flight parameter recorder that uses a high-speed Wi-Fi transceiver to synch with “hot spots” that are within range of the aircraft while it’s on the ground at Wi-Fi equipped airport ramps. The GDL 59 supports transmission of such logged data reports as: engine trend and exceedance data, system maintenance data crew advisory system (CAS) messages, and more. After landing, the information may be downloaded via Wi-Fi to your local service facility on the field. Or, if you need to have parts and technicians ready and waiting when you arrive, you can also use the optional GSR 56 Iridium network transceiver to send the information ahead while you’re still in-flight and enroute1 . The King Air’s 3-screen configuration features a big 15-inch Multi-Function Display (MFD) flanked by dual 10-inch Primary Flight Displays (PFDs). A Garmin autopilot mode controller, FMS keypad and dual audio panels complete the package. 1 Sold separately. NOTE: Garmin ESP™ stability augmentation, Class A TAWS, GSR 56 Iridium transceiver, and GDL 59 datalogger are only available on the King Air 200 and 300 series airframes. Weather datalink capability, via XM Satellite Radio and its XM WX Satellite Weather service, provides the G1000 with color NEXRAD, METARs, TAFs, lightning, and other U.S. data displays (subscription required). Built-in terrain elevation database is enhanced with full Class B TAWS alerting functionality to provide an extra margin of safety in recognizing potential terrain/obstacle conflict situations.
