Garmin certifies G1000 NXi for Embraer Phenom 100s

摘要

Garmin's upgrade to the G1000 NXi configuration for Prodigy-equipped Embraer Phenom 100s received FAA approval in early December, and the upgrade is now available for installation by select Garmin dealers and Embraer service centers. Garmin will offer the NXi upgrade for the Phenom 300 equipped with the Prodigy flight deck in the second half of 2020. The NXi upgrade's main hardware change is replacement of the displays with new ones containing faster processors, which make panning much smoother and render maps much faster. The LED-back-lit displays—which are brighter and clearer and use less power—have the same footprint and use the same connectors, so downtime for the installation is minimized.
