Cessna has a mockup of its upgraded Corvalis TTx on display at the Sun ‘n Fun Fly-In in Lakeland, Florida, this week. Equipped with Garmin‘s new G2000 avionics suite, the Corvalis TTx, which will be available for delivery in 2012, has received a full interior and exterior face lift.

Cessna claims this is the first single-engine airplane that eliminates analog instruments. The panel is dominated by 14-inch Garmin G2000 displays. An L-3 Trilogy screen serves as a replacement for the round gauge backup instruments. While the smoothly operating Garmin GFC 720 autopilot is fully coupled with the G2000, it is now strategically located at the top of the instrument panel.
