Cessna to offer Glass Cockpits
|
|
|
Anonymous writes "Cessna announced that the Cessna 172 Skyhawk, will soon offer a factory-installed, all-glass cockpit. Beginning in early 2005, Cessna will debut the Garmin G1000 fully-integrated avionics system on 172 Skyhawks.
Cessna will initially focus on offering two versions of the Skyhawk G1000 avionics package: 172R Skyhawk GA and 172S Skyhawk SP with NAV III. The 172R Skyhawk GA is designed to address the operational requirements of the flight training market, as well as for those wanting the latest in glass cockpit technology and safety without the need for an autopilot or FIS XM/weather datalink. The 172S Skyhawk SP NAV III option incorporates nearly all of the same features as the NAV III G1000-equipped Skylanes and Stationairs, which were introduced with resounding success in late 2003."
