New Cessna panel
Yesterday I saw the new Cessna Nav III package for the 2004 182s and 206s.
It is a Garmin 1000 system with battery backup (not certified for part 135 IFR, though). At last Cessna enters the 21st century. -- Christopher J. Campbell World Famous Flight Instructor Port Orchard, WA For the Homeland! |

Bendix thinks their stupid HSI gizmo (which doesn't really do all that much) is the answer to the GA world's problem. They're self-destructing in my opinion. |

At last Cessna enters the 21st century. Sounds like Garmin entered the 21st Century. Cessna just installed their equipment on the same old ancient airframes. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) |

Bendix/King? Are they still in business? Next thing you're going to
tell me is I can still buy a new KX155. Dan Luke wrote: "C J Campbell" wrote: Yesterday I saw the new Cessna Nav III package for the 2004 182s and 206s.

When I asked the guy at their OSH booth when they were going to make an all-in-one box to compete with Garmin/UPSAT, he said they didn't want to make a "me too" product. As if the KLN-94 is innovative. -- Dan C172RG at BFM |

So, if an aircraft has a second electrical source (among the other part 135 requirements - dual vacuum, etc), will an aircraft with this avionics configuration be certified for part 135 IFR, or is there something specific about the Garmin 1000 system that does not allow it to be certified at this time? -- Peter ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

The new Cessna airframes are considerably different than the old ones -- so much so that they have new type certificates. They have much less drag and are now certified under Part 23. Basically, a new 2004 Cessna 182 will compete favorably with a Cirrus SR-22, but for about $50,000 less. |

Basically, a new 2004 Cessna 182 will compete favorably with a Cirrus
SR-22, but for about $50,000 less. Hmmm. I don't know what you consider "competing favorably", but the specs sure look weighted in favor of the Cirrus: Cruise Speed Skylane: 141 knots Cirrus: 180 knots Maximum Range Skylane: 550 nm (697 nm with optional extra fuel tanks) Cirrus: 1000+ nm Climb Rate Skylane: 980 fpm Cirrus: 1400 fpm The only parameters the Skylane wins are for takeoff & landing distances: Takeoff over 50' Obstacle Skylane: 1205 ft Cirrus: 1575 ft Landing over 50' Obstacle Skylane: 1350 ft. Cirrus: 2325 ft (The Cessna website seems to be down, so I used http://www.risingup.com/planespecs/ for Skylane performance data. Cirrus data is off their website.) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
