Pilots who fly with Garmin’s latest G1000 NXi integrated flight deck know the truth: Once you go NXi, you’ll never want to go back. The upgraded version of the original G1000 flight deck is offered in a long list of new GA aircraft, and is quickly making its mark in the retrofit market as well. Now, Garmin has added five Cessna and Beechcraft models to the list of airplanes that are eligible for retrofit upgrade to the G1000 NXi, at a price that many buyers will find appealing.
G1000 NXi Retrofits Come To More Piston Aircraft
Key Takeaways:
- Garmin is extending its G1000 NXi integrated flight deck retrofit upgrade to five popular Cessna and Beechcraft models (Cessna 172, 182, 206, and Beechcraft Bonanza, Baron) that are already equipped with a WAAS-capable G1000.
- Priced at $28,995, the NXi upgrade offers significantly faster processors, sharper LED-backlit displays, and a wide array of enhanced features compared to the legacy G1000 system.
- Key new functionalities include wireless cockpit connectivity for database and flight plan transfers, visual approach guidance, SurfaceWatch, HSI map overlay, and quicker system initialization.
- The upgrade is designed for minimal aircraft downtime and panel disruption, as the NXi displays maintain the same footprint and connectors as the original G1000.
