Piper has received Type Certificate (TC) approval to add the Garmin G1000 avionics suite into new twin-engine Piper Seminole aircraft aircraft.
With this latest TC, The Garmin G1000 is standard equipment on nearly all new Piper products.
"The G1000's design brings enhanced levels of pilot situational awareness and simplicity to the Seminole cockpit," said Piper President and CEO Simon Caldecott.
"The G1000-equipped Seminole provides rich flight-critical data that creates a safer flight environment."
Garmin's G1000 is a seamlessly integrated all-glass avionics panel that makes flight information easier to scan and process. The G1000 flight deck presents flight instrumentation, navigation, weather, terrain, traffic and engine data on large-format, high-resolution displays.
It replaces the G500 suite currently on Seminole aircraft. Garmin's reliable GRS77 Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) provides accurate, digital output and referencing of aircraft position, rate, vector and acceleration data. The latest Garmin G1000 software on the Seminole includes Vertical Profile View and user-defined holding patterns.
The Piper Seminole is an advanced training aircraft. It is a twin-engine piston powered aircraft that seats four and is powered by two Lycoming L/O -360-A1H6 each generating 180hp. Cruising speed at 75 percent power is 162 KTAS / 300 km/h. Range is 700 nm / 1,426 km.
