Garmin® Certifies G1000™ All-Glass Flightdeck for Mooney Aircraft

OLATHE, Kan./November 22, 2004/PR Newswire — Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (Nasdaq: GRMN), today announced that the company has received FAA approval for a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) on two aircraft models from Mooney Airplane Co.  This approval paves the way for installation of Garmin’s G1000 integrated avionics system on the Ovation2 GX and Bravo GX, which will both feature a dual-display G1000 system.

“Mooney has built a loyal following with its Ovation and Bravo platforms, and this STC will only increase that devotion, now that the G1000 is being installed on the GX series,” said Gary Kelley, Garmin’s director of marketing. “For Mooney customers, the G1000 is the perfect complement to these high-performance airframes.  The integrated design of the G1000 allows it to deliver outstanding reliability, increased situational awareness and overall ease of use.”

The G1000 system integrates all primary flight, navigation, communication, terrain, traffic, weather, engine, and sensor data on two 10.4-inch, high-definition LCDs in the Ovation2 GX and Bravo GX.  These active-matrix displays feature XGA resolution (1,024x768-pixel count) and are capable of presenting data in brilliant, sunlight-readable color at wide viewing angles.

• The primary flight display (PFD) replaces most of the traditional cockpit instruments and digitally integrates flight information on a single, large-format display for easier interpretation by the pilot.  The PFD interfaces with Garmin’s Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS), which features rapid alignment while moving, including in-flight dynamic restarts.

• The multifunction display (MFD) puts all aircraft-systems monitoring and flight-planning functions at the pilot’s fingertips.  The MFD paints a composite view of the aircraft’s environment, providing the pilot with all necessary information to make safe decisions during every phase of flight.  Detailed engine parameters and aircraft situational data such as location, terrain, traffic, weather and airport information are all clearly depicted and can be quickly interpreted at a glance on the large-format display.

• The integrated design and reversionary capabilities of the G1000 allow all flight-critical data to transfer seamlessly to a single display for added safety and peace of mind during flight.
