Garmin G600

The Garmin G600 uses technology derived from Garmin’s highly successful G1000 integrated avionics system, and brings a wealth of graphical flight capabilities to your cockpit retrofit.

The G600 comes with a scaled version of Garmin’s Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT) and is approved for Class 1 and 2 aircraft – as well as for larger Class 3 piston and turbine aircraft between 6,000 lbs and 12,500 lbs MTOW (see below).

• Approved for Class 1 Aircraft (typically piston singles under 6,000 lbs.)
• Approved for Class 2 Aircraft (typically piston twins and turbine aircraft under 6,000 lbs.)
• Approved for Class 3 Aircraft (typically piston or turbine aircraft between 6,000 lbs. and 12,500 lbs)
• Software design assurance – Level B
• Garmin SVT Synthetic Vision Technology
• GAD 43 replaces select A/P gyro attitude with AHRS references and provides bootstrap heading, yaw information, and baro corrections
• GWX 68 Radar interface (radar LRU sold separately)
• Optional Internal TAWS-B terrain alerting

The Garmin G600 has identical large, VGA-quality color LCD’s that fit neatly into the panel area where your 6-pack of mechanical instruments currently reside.  Each screen offers brilliant color and crisp readability, even in direct sunlight, thanks to Garmin’s advanced RGB backlight design.  If space allows, your existing airspeed indicator, altimeter and artificial horizon can be moved adjacent to the G600 to be used as standby instruments.  Significant cost savings can be gained when you use the optional trim rings which enable the instrument panel to be modified and re-used.

The PFD screen on the left is SVT-capable and shows airspeed, attitude, altitude, climb rate and course/heading information.  The MFD screen on the right shows detailed moving-map graphics of your aircraft’s current position in relation to ground features, navaids, chart data, flight plan routings and more.
