Garmin
Garmin has a couple of options for King Air operators. Their non- integrated offering is the G600/GTN panel-mount avionics system. It includes synthetic vision, charts, weather and an ADS-B solution. It is available for the King Air 90 series, not including the Pro Line 21 aircraft, several in the 200 series and the B200. Keep in mind that if you are considering this solution, it is very specific to the autopilot in the airplane. For instance, a King Air 200 with an APS-80 autopilot could not consider the modification while a King Air 200 with a Sperry SPZ200 could. The G600/GTN system should take about six weeks to install and cost between $200,000 and $250,000.
Garmin’s fully integrated system, the G1000 (pictured on page 8), is available for the King Air C90, 200, B200, 300 and 350 models. The system offers synthetic vision, WAAS/LPV, charts, weather, safe taxi, XM radio, ADS-B solutions, a 15-inch multi-function display and two 10-inch primary flight displays. A G1000 installation should take 15 working days and have an approximate baseline cost between $325,000 and $375,000.
