Aviation Technology

One of the biggest new technologies for GA is the new G1000. This thing is by far the coolest glass cockpit system available in GA. There are many new things that this system can do that other systems before could only dream of. First off you can have either a two or a three display system, with your choice of either 10 or 12 inch displays. If you want an even bigger display you can choose the giant 15 inch display which are are interchangeable, so between you primary flight displays (PDF) and you multi-function display (MFD). The G1000 replaces traditional gyroscope instrument with it's new GRS77 Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) This system also has the new GFC700 autopilot, which can control airspeed as well. The multiple displays are a life saver, especially at busy airports, because you can have your Jeppesen charts, and airport diagrams on your other displays. If you thought all of that was cool then you will be blown away by Gamin's new Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT). This is really cool, because it shows you a 3-D model of the ground and even tells you if you will hit something if you stay on your current path. You can literally fly down a valley in complete fog and know exactly how far you are away from the mountains (although I would not recommend it). Lastly you can even have XM satellite weather on your G1000 that will show you where the storms are within minuets. There are also many other features to see the G1000 for yourself go to https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=6420&ra=true .
