G1000 for King Air


Garmin’s G1000 retrofit suite for King Air integrates all primary flight, navigation, weather, terrain, traffic, radio frequency, engine and fuel data readouts on large-format, high-definition LCDs. The cockpit layout features a central 15-inch multi-function display, flanked by 10.4-inch primary flight displays at the pilot and copilot positions. Because it integrates so many components into one system, the G1000 comes in at a weight far lower than most typical avionics installs.

172 Skyhawk


alt

What does Garmin, Cessna, and Asian Aeronautics Solutions Incorporated have in common? All three have a long history of service, built on solid records, and deliver the highest level of excellence in their respective fields. So simply put… PERFECTION! When this old Cessna 172 Skyhawk landed on our airstrip here at Clark she had little more than a compass. When AASI’s Small Craft Division was finished, even the Airbus A380 looked on with envy!
