Thanks, hadn't seen that one.

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:

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.
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)
