[edit] "Advert" tag and salesy voice

I think I've successfully neutralized the salesy voice and have thus removed the advert tag. Feel free to stick it back in there if you disagree. I'd also appreciate someone proofreading as I have to head out the door to fly a G1000 DA40... :) ChadScott 00:48, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Chad, you've done a great job. It's totally factual, accurately representing a system which is the flagship collection of components of the Garmin line, as well as a leading industry example of the right way to approach the issue of integrating modern electronics. Well done, and I sincerely hope no one feels an incessant need to add an advert tag. This is a good article on a key, and rapidly-growing modern general aviation navigation and communication system that's a great example for other companies to follow. It is NOT an advertisement.

[edit] Prices

What are the prices for an EASA certified, let´s say, C172 retrofit? 84.173.198.202 16:16, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

You can't currently purchase G1000 systems for aftermarket installation in aircraft other than the King Air. The G600 (a G1000 "lite") can be STC'd into aircraft in the United States, but I'm unsure of international aircraft. At any rate, I have yet to see pricing on the G600, but if it's typical of other glass installations (Chelton, etc.) you'd be looking at USD$80,000 or more. -- ChadScott 20:33, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
