What was the objective
of the project?
The customer wanted an avionics
What date was
the project started?
April 18, 2022
What date was
the project completed?
June 17, 2022
What makes this project unique?
It was the first time that we had to
integrate a KFC 300 with a G600 TXi.
It was also a challenge since we had
to interface the GTN with the G600
TXi and the weather radar. In the end,
the pilot got three different radar
indicators: the legacy at the bottom of
the central panel; the GDU at his side;
and the GTN for the co-pilot's side.
Did you encounter any problems
while working on the project?
There were problems interfacing the
KFC 300 autopilot to the G600 in the
roll and pitch signals.
How did you resolve
these problems?
By working together with technical
support from Honeywell/BendixKing,
Mid-Continent Instruments and
Avionics, and Garmin.
What did you learn
from this project?
To be able to interface different communication
and navigation equipment
with each other and understand its
operation in a clearer way.
What was the customer's response?
The customer was extremely grateful
and surprised with the change of
the flight deck; it exceeded his
expectations.
AFTER
A new panel deck places the instruments that were on the pilot's side on the co-pilot's side and the
new avionics in the central left panel.
