Going to G-1000: different "levels" ?
Hello
RE: Going to a G-1000 via new install / King Air 350
I understand that Class A TAWS and Class B TAWS are two different things.
What else should I look for, are there different "levels" of G-1000 packages ? What else should I get ? Is WAAS, LPV, standard out of the box or do I need to ask for that ?
what else
Thanks

As I recall, WAAS and LPV should already be included with the G1000 install. The newer LRU's handle the LPV but these are the least of your problems. The Proline 21 is vastly superior to the G1000 and, IMO, not well suited for turbine aircraft.

The G-1000 boxes come with all options/extras built in.
You just have to shell out the extra coins to have Garmin unlock them.
I have not flown the Proline, but hear it is nice. Tons of time behind the Garmin and I enjoy it for its simplicity and loads of available info.
As for LPV, depending on your operation, you must be trained on the LPV app before you can fly it. LPV's are the greatest thing since sliced bread!
The newest update to the G1000 will allow building a hold, crossing points greater than 99nm and a few other goodies.

HUGE downgrade, in my opinion.
UNLESS Beech is switching away from PL21 to Garmin in new aircraft, just like their new Textron Aviation stablemate Cessna is.

Also, from what I have heard some 91 operators take out the PL21 sell it, and install a g1000 for much less than they sold the PL21 for. I personally thought the G1000 was very user friendly. never needed any more functions that it had in the King Air 350 I flew. But I have never used a PL21 myself.
