Hawker Beechcraft Services (HBS) announces it has taken orders for six Garmin G1000® fully integrated flight deck installations for the Beechcraft King Air 300/350. Garmin recently received the supplemental type certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration for this upgrade (SA01535WI-D), enabling operators of King Air 300/350 aircraft to enjoy the benefits of integrated flight information systems on large, high-definition displays.

With this STC, the G1000 upgrade is now available at HBS facilities for a wide range of models in the world’s best-selling line of turboprops: King Air C90, 200, B200, 300 and 350 models.

The G1000 retrofit suite 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” multi-function display, flanked by 10.4” primary flight displays at the pilot and copilot positions. Standard features include WAAS-certified GPS navigation, dual integrated solid-state Attitude and Heading Reference Systems and dual integrated RVSM-capable digital air data computers. In addition, the King Air G1000 suite comes standard with GWX68™ digital color radar and GFC 700, a 3-axis, fully digital, dual channel Automatic Flight Control System.
