G-1000 questions

[john smith]

Has anyone seen a G-1000 out of the box prior to installation?
What are the full dimensions?
How much space is there between the firewall and the rear of the G-1000?
Why?
Newer LCD projectors are compact and have high lumens outputs.
I have seen the new Apple G5 iMac. The thing is only two-inches thick.
I would think the G-1000 would be similarly "thin". This would leave
sufficient space between the firewall and the G-1000 to install a
"Heads-Up-Display" projector. All the information from the G-1000 could
be provided to the projector. The infomation could be pilot configurable.
Surely someone is developing such a HUD?
The technology is now available, it's just a matter of putting it together.

Wrong question. The G-1000 isn't an instrument, it's a system. The
screens are quite thin, so yes, there is a lot of room left between them
and the firewall. The other components of the system can be stored
everywhere in the plane, even between the screen and the firewall, if
you wish. Think of a computer network. IIRC, the components even
communicate over ethernet.

Are you saying that the G-1000 is a panel mounted display with remote
avionics which can be mounted in a remote avionics bay?

This article describes it nicely:

Thanks, hadn't seen that one.

According to Garmin the G1000 isonly going to be sold as a
certificated OEM system in aircraft. For the time being no aftermarket
installs in older acft. Another interesting thing is that no other
items will interface w/ the G1000. If it wasn't designed for it, it
will not be allowed to be installed.

Kevin,

Is there going to be a flight director for the G1000?

Right now there is only an interface w/ the KAP-140 autopilot by
Honeywell, Garmin has not developed an autopilot and gotten it
certificated yet. If and when Garmin develops the autopilot system for
the G11000, I think this stuff will probably follow. (an aside, the XM
radio WX system is still not out that was designed for the G1000)
