Garmin has released a major software update for its G1000 NXi integrated flight deck, adding new features that improve situational awareness for general aviation pilots.
The update includes enhanced weather radar integration, improved terrain alerting, and a redesigned traffic display.
Notable Features
The software adds predictive wind shear warnings based on nearby pilot reports and expanded synthetic vision capabilities. Pilots can now overlay approach procedures directly on the synthetic vision display.
Garmin also improved the system’s database update process, making it faster to load new navigation data.
Availability
The update is available now for G1000 NXi-equipped aircraft. Installation takes approximately 45 minutes at authorized service centers.
Pilots with older G1000 systems may be eligible for upgrade programs to the NXi platform, which Garmin says offers improved processing speed and display resolution.
