The company has received FAA and EASA certification for the Garmin G1000 NXi-equipped Caravan platform, allowing deliveries to commence in the US and Europe.
The G1000 NXi avionics platform is a modernised flight display with faster processing, improved graphics and enhanced readability with LED back-lighting. It provides map overlay on the HSI, improved flight management system capabilities to include visual approaches, standard ADS-B out and optional ADS-B in, the ability to view visual flight rules and instrument flight rules charts on the moving map and animated Sirius XM weather depiction. As an option, SurfaceWatch can also provide enhanced runway situational awareness.

‘The Caravan platform has the capability to perform an impressive range of challenging missions and now with a more streamlined and connected experience in the cockpit, pilots will have the modern design and technologies at their fingertips.’
