* Avionics: A tie. The displays looked terrific in full daylight. The
182 does not have XM weather on the Garmin MFD yet, but Cessna says it
will be added at no cost when it's available. For now, 182s are

delivered
wit a B/K KAP-140 autopilot; later models will have a new Garmin ap

built
into the G-1000.


Right now, I think the Garmin G1000 is going to be better supported than

the
system in the Cirrus.


And just what makes you think that ? I think you are confused, or maybe you
work for Garmin's marketing department.

The KAP-140 is an excellent 3-axis autopilot.


Sure it is, if you don't like GPS roll steering, and you enjoy retesting
your static system every time you pull it out for repair or adjustment. The
KAP-140 is a two axis autopilot and the variant that comes in the 182 is two
axis with altitude preselect, not 3 axis. At least on the Cirrus the
autopilot's altitude preselect is on the PFD.
