1 G1000 for the King Air C90 The retrofit choice for your Beechcraft King Air C90 just became clear as glass.

2 07-AVN G1000 KingAir C90 10/23/07 2:44 PM Page 4 Back in 1964, when the very first 90-series King Air turboprop rolled off the production line in Wichita, the world was a very different place: Our homes didn t have garage door openers, microwave ovens, video recorders or mega-channel cable TV. Computers were the size of refrigerators. We were five years away from the first moon landing. And no one had even heard of cellphones, laptops, Wi-fi, s, websites, MP3s, datalinks or GPS satellites. And yet, that first Beechcraft King Air seemed to anticipate all that business aviation would ultimately become. It was all about bringing business travelers face-to-face with new opportunities. It was incredibly versatile, comfortable, reliable, fuel-efficient. And it has remained so to this day. Departing runways as short as 2,700 feet, it can carry 2,200 pounds of payload and cruise at over 280 miles per hour to make short work of most typical-range missions. While keeping passengers fresh and relaxed in a comfortable six-place pressurized cabin with all the headroom, storage space and luxury features any serious traveler could want.

3 No wonder the King Air s been in continuous production longer than any other turbine business aircraft. No wonder it launched the largest, most successful line of twin turboprops in aviation history a fleet now numbering over 6,000 aircraft and totaling 20+ million flight hours. No wonder, after well over four decades of service, this classic aircraft is ready for a total panel update and makeover. With the first full Garmin G1000 package ever approved for aftermarket retrofit. [ Garmin G1000 retrofit: The ultimate King Air update ] You won t find a better glass cockpit option for anything close to the price. Garmin G1000: The clear choice for giving your King Air C90 a whole new lease on life. BEFORE AFTER

4 07-AVN G1000 KingAir C90 10/23/07 2:45 PM Page 5 Garmin glass, King Air class. One look, and you ll know this is more than just an avionics facelift. It s a whole new level of communication between pilots and their aircraft. Consolidating all the primary flight, navigation, weather, terrain, traffic, radio frequency and engine data readouts once scattered across a myriad of instruments the G1000 glass retrofit package brings new levels of safety, efficiency and situational awareness to your King Air C90 s flight deck. The system is anchored by a 15-inch big picture Multi-Function Display (MFD), flanked by 10-inch Primary Flight Displays (PFDs) at the pilot and copilot positions. These vivid, high-resolution XGA (1024 x 768 pixel) color screens offer wide side-to-side viewing angles, advanced backlighting, and crystal-sharp readability, even in bright sunlight. On the pilot and copilot PFDs, an EFIS-like display of 3-axis flight dynamics synthesizes aircraft attitude, airspeed, climb rate, altimeter and horizontal course/heading information as well as Flight Director command bar cues and mode information, when coupled with Garmin s GFC 700 automatic flight control system. Pilots moving up to turbine class operations will especially appreciate the added peripheral cues provided by the wall-to-wall horizon reference on the full-screen PFD attitude displays. Meanwhile, at the center position, the G1000 s big multi-tasking MFD is used for engine and fuel systems monitoring, plus detailed moving-map graphics showing the aircraft s current position in relation to ground features, chart data, navaids, flight plan routings, and more. The map display is designed to interface with a growing array of remote sensors and tracking systems, making it easy for pilots to overlay graphical weather, lightning, traffic, terrain and other avoidance system advisories. Sensor functions are selectable, letting the pilot add or deselect overlays, and thus build at will the map view the pilot prefers for any given phase of flight. Class B TAWS terrain alerting comes standard with the King Air C90 package, so does real-time weather data link capability, via XM Satellite Radio and its XM WX Satellite Weather service. With the XM link, NEXRAD weather, METARs, TAFs, TFRs, winds aloft, echo tops, surface precipitation, lightning strikes, storm cell data, and more, can be received and displayed anywhere in the U.S., regardless of altitude. Garmin s XM data link capability is the ideal supplement to the tactical weather guidance provided by the 6.5kilowatt GWX 68 onboard digital weather radar which is also included in the standard C90 retrofit package. Weather datalink capability, via XM Satellite Radio and its XM WX Satellite Weather service, provides the G1000 with color NEXRAD, METARs, TAFs, lightning, and other U.S. data displays.

5 For onboard weather analysis, the King Air C90 system features Garmin s fully stabilized GWX 68 digital color radar. At 6.5 kilowatts, it packs the power to penetrate serious weather. GARMIN G1000 FEATURES AT A GLANCE. Large-format LCD displays 10-inch PFDs; 15-inch MFD Fully integrated CNI suite with dual WAAS-certified GPS This fully stabilized 4-color radar features pilotadjustable horizontal scans from 20 to 90 degress plus a useful vertical scanning mode to help analyze storm tops, gradients and cell buildup activity at various altitudes. High-tech flight control. With amazing dexterity, Garmin s all-digital GFC 700 flight control system links visual displays in the King Air C90 cockpit with ultra-smooth 3-axis servo control inputs. Together, the G1000 and GFC 700 will provide King Air C90 operators with a superior level of integration and response combining sophisticated modes and functions, AHRS-based situational reference, and dual-channel, self-monitoring safety features once found only on high-end business jets. in tabase with AWS tionality n extra fety in potential cle tions. Using prestored data from the King Air s flight manual to optimize performance over the entire airspeed regime, this advanced flight director/autopilot system offers precise lateral and vertical navigation guidance for all phases of flight. Airspeed holds, VNAV profiles, automatic nav-to-nav captures, holding patterns, procedure turns, Go-Arounds, and more the list of capabilities is unprecedented in this class of autopilot. Pilots will appreciate the positive, consistent response afforded by airspeed-scheduled trim as well as the silky smooth roundouts and vertical intercepts that the system s advanced software modeling provides on climbs and descents. Looking to the future, these progressive flight control features bring an awesome level of support to the G1000 s Gamma-3 WAAS-certified GPS navigation technology. Thanks to WAAS the FAA s Wide Area Augmentation System thousands of previously fair-weather-only airports now have the potential to offer GPS-guided glideslope approaches down to ILS-comparable minimums (200-ft. decision height, 1/2-mile visibility) without reference to ground-based navigation aids of any kind. And as more of these new LPV approaches are certified, your G1000-equipped King Air C90 is all set to make the transition without missing a beat. Find out more online.
