The recently issued revision to the G1000 software includes an upgrade to
permit loading airways into flightpans.

The upgrade is free to 2004, 2005 and 2006 Cessna G1000 owners, including a
labor allowance for installation. Mine was installed today; I'll report on
how it works this weekend.


You can thank the Citation Mustang program for that.



Yep. Lots of the new features in this software came from the Mustang.
One cool one is the moving map in the reversionary mode. I'm also
told that the older (4/5/6) aircraft will now couple to the KAP140 fly
PT and holds-in-lieu just like the 07s.


Does the KAP 140 have roll steering? It is my understanding that roll
steering is required to fly the Garmin "W" HILs.
