* 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. |
