“It breathes new life into the aircraft. And with European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) enabled navigation, situational awareness features like SVT, the sophisticated autopilot and the overall weight savings, it’s a tremendous value proposition.”  

Garmin received the European Aviation Safety Agency’s (EASA) validation of the U.S. STC (supplemental type certificate) for the installation of the G1000 in the King Air 200 and B200 in December 2010. 

Installation of the G1000 system dramatically modernizes the King Air’s panel and meets current European regulatory requirements including 8.33 kHz VHF Communication, VHF Com Immunity from FM radio broadcasts, B-RNAV, P-RNAV, RNP Approach (to LPV, LNAV/VNAV, and LNAV minimums), RVSM, SSR Mode S Elementary Surveillance (ELS), SSR Mode S Enhanced Surveillance (EHS), ADS-B-NRA (Automatic Dependant Surveillance-Broadcast in Non-Radar Areas), and TAWS Class B. 

The G1000 avionics suite integrates all primary flight information, navigation data, communications, terrain awareness, traffic, weather, and engine instruments on a large 15-inch multi-function display (MFD) and two 10.4-inch primary flight displays (PFD).  

The G1000 installation on the King Air 200/B200 includes the GFC 700™ three-axis, fully digital, dual channel, fail passive automatic flight control system (AFCS). The GFC 700 includes features you would expect in this class of aircraft such as coupled space based augmentation system (SBAS) approaches such as LNAV/VNAV and LPV.
