Garmin adds the G1000 NXi upgrade for the Embraer Phenom 100

Garmin International, a unit of Garmin, announced certification of the G1000 NXi integrated flight deck upgrade for Embraer’s Phenom 100 business jets equipped with the Prodigy Flight Deck. The G1000 NXi offers these aircraft owners and operators an array of modern features, including wireless connectivity, SurfaceWatch™ runway monitoring technology, visual approach guidance, HSI map and more. The displays also preserve the same footprint and connectors so time to complete the G1000 NXi upgrade is minimized.

“Since its introduction, the G1000 NXi integrated flight deck continues to grow in popularity and demand,” said Carl Wolf, vice president of aviation sales and marketing. “From forward-fit to retrofit, we are thrilled by the tremendous adoption rate of the G1000 NXi and look forward to adding more aircraft to the approval list and continuing to deliver the system to thousands of customers well into the future.”

A wealth of modern integrated flight deck features and benefits accompany the G1000 NXi upgrade in the Phenom 100. Wireless connectivity is available as standard with the Flight Stream 510 and Connext technology, which enables the wireless transfer of aviation databases from the Garmin Pilot app on a mobile device to the G1000 NXi. Additional wireless capabilities include two-way flight plan transfer, the sharing of traffic1, weather1, GPS information, back-up attitude information and more, between the G1000 NXi and the Garmin Pilot, FltPlan Go and ForeFlight Mobile applications.
