The Prodigy Flight Deck in the cockpits of Embraer’s Phenom 100 and Phenom 300 are getting an upgrade with Garmin’s latest G1000 NXi system. This is not a simple software upgrade; NXi provides a significant upgrade to an already stellar package, adding visual approach capabilities (which can be coupled with the autopilot); SurfaceWatch (a runway monitoring and alerting feature); vastly improved processor speeds; the ability to show weather, traffic, SafeTaxi and a moving map overlay on the HIS portion of the PFD, and more.
