The Garmin G600 was first unveiled at AirVenture 2006, as ANN
reported.
Cutter calls the retrofit panel a perfect solution for owners looking
for the
enhanced situational awareness, pilot workload reduction and safety
that
a glass cockpit provides without the need of upgrading to a
completely
new aircraft.
Contained within the space of a standard "six-pack" of primary flight
instruments,
the two 6.5-inch diagonal flat-panel LCDs of the G600 allows for an
easy upgrade
to a glass cockpit without costly and time-consuming major panel
redesigns
or replacement.
The Garmin G600 offers a crisp and clear VGA quality display that's
fully
readable in direct sunlight thanks to Garmin's advanced RGB backlight
system. Replacing gyro-based mechanical instruments, the left-hand
panel offers an EFIS-like Primary Flight Display for attitude,
airspeed,
climb rate, altitude and course/heading information. The right-hand
panel
serves as the Multi-Function display providing a wide range of data
from
navigational overlays to weather data. Such a combination allows
owners
to experience a "big picture" suite of avionics without replacing
their
beloved aircraft.
Cutter says that depending on your panel configuration, installation
time
can be as little as two weeks from start to finish for the G600
upgrade.

Besides all that, you get a full HSI and RMI built in, as well as the
center section that provides TAS, OAT, and winds aloft.
