Diamond Aircraft is replacing the Garmin G1000 integrated flightdeck in its piston-engined family with the next-generation G1000NXi.
Unveiled by Garmin in early January, the NXi features wireless cockpit connectivity, enhanced situational awareness, visual approaches and map overlay on the horizontal situation indicator.
The first NXi-equipped DA62s, DA42s and DA40s are scheduled for delivery by the end of June, says Diamond, based in Wiener Neustadt, Austria. The company is also offering a retrofit programme for owners and operators of the 800-plus aircraft in service worldwide.
