GFC700 & G-1000 WAAS Upgrade |
A combination package of the GFC700 Autopilot Installation and Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS Option 3), which provides GPS precision approaches and Enroute coupled with VNAV. You can also maximize your WAAS upgrade with availalbe subscription services. GFC700
o The revolutionary Garmin GFC700 is a three-axis, fully digital, dual channel, fail passive Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS).
| o It features roll, pitch and yaw control, with automatic Pitch Trim and MachTrim control, and additional features not found in other autopilots.
| |
o As general aviation's first and only fully integrated avionics system, the GFC700 is capable of using all of the data available to the G1000, including the ability to maintain airspeed references and to optimize performance over the entire airspeed envelope. | WAAS
| o WAAS uses satellite-based and approximately 25 ground reference stations positioned across the United States that monitor GPS satellite data. Two master stations, located on either coast, collect data from the reference stations and create a GPS correction message for precise lateral and vertical approach guidance.
|
| o It improves position accuracy from a typical 49 feet down to approximately 9 feet.
|
| o With the FAA's published LPV (lateral position with vertical guidance) approaches, operators can frequently make approaches to general aviation airports down to minimums of less than 300 feet and 3/4 of a mile. In fact, the WAAS avionics system approved for Mooney aircraft even generates a virtual glide path for more than 3,000 straight-in GPS and Area Navigation (RNAV) approaches that the aircraft's navigation system has programmed into it.
