Garmin G600
®
Bringing true “glass cockpit”
capabilities to the aircraft you already have, Garmin’s G600
is a retrofit breakthrough. Now, you can upgrade your avionics
panel with a G600 suite and start reaping the benefits of
enhanced situational awareness, safety and pilot workload
reduction. The dual-screen G600 works with your Garmin
avionics stack, pairing both a primary flight display (PFD)
and a multi-function (MFD) display in a single 10-inch wide
bezel – to provide a fully TSO’d upgrade option for your
cockpit. And with software assurance levels required for FAR
Part 23 Class 3 aircraft, G600 is the ideal solution.
Garmin SVT™ Now Comes Standard
A scaled version of Garmin’s SVT™ Synthetic Vision Technology
comes pre-installed on your G600. Using sophisticated graphics
modeling to create a 3-D topographic landscape from the G600’s
terrain alerting database, SVT provides a “virtual reality”
perspective view of ground and water features, obstacles and
traffic – all shown in relative proximity to your aircraft.
So, rather than looking at the PFD, you’ll have a sense of
looking through it, to “see” what lies beyond the nose of your
aircraft. SVT clearly enhances your view of primary flight
data by giving it a realistic visual frame of reference –
especially in solid IFR or nighttime/marginal VFR conditions.
Enhance Situational Awareness
In addition to the graphical terrain and obstacle alerting
information provided by SVT, you can also augment the G600
with optional Class-B TAWS (Terrain Awareness and Warning
System) for an extra margin of safety in the air. Initial
Garmin FliteCharts® approach plates for the U.S. come
pre-installed on G600 (the charts will disable when data is
over 6 months out-of-date). And, as an option, Jeppesen-style
ChartView™ instrument approach plates and airport surface
charts can be ordered through a JeppView™ for MFD subscription
– enabling you to overlay your aircraft’s position on the MFD
approach display. Once you’ve landed, built-in SafeTaxi®
diagrams provide detailed visual guidance to your tie-down
ramp or hangar at over 900 U.S. airports.
Enjoy Advanced AHRS
In place of costly-to-maintain gyro instruments, the G600 uses
Garmin’s super-reliable GRS 77 Attitude and Heading Reference
System (AHRS). Combining inputs from GPS, magnetometer and air
data computer, the AHRS provides an accurate digital output
and referencing of your aircraft position, rate, vector and
acceleration data. It’s even able to restart and properly
realign itself while the aircraft is moving.
Synch Up with Your Autopilot
G600 is designed to interface with most popular GA autopilots
and flight directors. The GAD 43 adapter unit (provided with
the G600) offers enhanced autopilot interface – allowing AHRS
to provide attitude information to your autopilot in place of
a gyro-mechanical ADI. The GAD 43 can emulate the many
existing gyro interfaces, using far more reliable AHRS data to
provide the attitude, heading, yaw input, baro correction, and
alerting cues to the autopilot. This typically eliminates the
need to keep that costly-to-maintain gyro ADI as your
autopilot reference for the G600 glass cockpit.
Add Weather, Traffic and More
Optional sensors and services let you add capabilities to your
G600 for better-informed weather and traffic decisions. For
example, digital on-board weather radar functionality can be
added with Garmin’s GWX 68 (software interface is included;
LRU sold separately). Also available is Garmin’s GDL 69/69A
series XM receiver. It offers up-to-the-moment weather data
and NEXRAD coverage for the U.S. and much of Canada, via XM
Satellite Radio datalink (XM subscription required). There’s
also a user interface with the GDL 69A that lets you enjoy
over 170 channels of inflight audio programming with a
subscription to XM Radio. And for help in watching nearby
traffic, you can access Traffic Information Service (TIS)
alerts on your G600, simply by adding a GTX 330 Mode S
transponder. Or, you can select from available TAS and TCAS
systems, including Garmin’s GTS™ family of advanced traffic
surveillance products.
A Smarter Way to Retrofit
Whether you fly a typical GA piston single or twin – or even a
larger Class 3 aircraft (piston or turbine aircraft between
6,000 lbs. and 12,500 lbs. MTOW) Garmin’s G600 is the perfect
retrofit option. With Supplemental Type Certification (STC)
provided under an FAA Approved Model List, Garmin offers
detailed G600 installation specs for over 800 models of
aircraft. Just see your authorized Garmin installation center
for specific G600 compatibility information.
