Has Cessna considered using different avionics packages in the new Single Engine aircraft?
When Cessna restarted production in 1997, we partnered with the industry leader, Honeywell Bendix-King, offering a full line of conventional avionics for installation in all Cessna Single Engine piston aircraft. Bendix-King avionics, then, and still do, offer proven technology and dependability and are supported by one of the world’s most extensive network of factory-trained avionics shops. Today, low cost, non-conventional, integrated, Electronic Flight Information Systems (EFIS) are now being developed by a number of avionics manufacturers. Cessna recently partnered with Garmin to offer the consumer a whole new level of avionics and safety enhancements with the introduction of the NAV III package. The NAV III package consists of the Garmin G1000 EFIS system, offering integrated, solid-state flight, traffic, terrain and weather information presented on two large, color electronic glass panel displays. Cessna will continue to work with Bendix-King and Garmin offering enhanced avionics
