The recently issued revision to the G1000 software includes an upgrade to
permit loading airways into flightpans.

The upgrade is free to 2004, 2005 and 2006 Cessna G1000 owners, including a
labor allowance for installation. Mine was installed today; I'll report on
how it works this weekend.


You can thank the Citation Mustang program for that.


Yep. Lots of the new features in this software came from the Mustang.
One cool one is the moving map in the reversionary mode. I'm also
told that the older (4/5/6) aircraft will now couple to the KAP140 fly
PT and holds-in-lieu just like the 07s.

Does the KAP 140 have roll steering? It is my understanding that roll
steering is required to fly the Garmin "W" HILs.

Yep. The KAP140 has had roll steering since at least 2003. Course,
the older KAP140s might have had it too, but 2003 is the earliest
sample offhand of Cessna installing the KLN94+GPSS+KAP140 into their
single engine line. Course, earlier than that KAP140s might have DC
roll steering inputs, but the -0102 part number KLN94s started
appearing in Cessna factory produced aircraft in 2003.

All G1000 Cessna aircraft have GPSS capable KAP140s.

And before someone starts getting pedantic, yea, if it's a KAP140 in a
Cessna G1000 it's GPSS capable. Otherwise it's a GFC700.
