WAAS upgrade for your G1000?

Do you really believe that won't include some ILS's? So *that's* what you're aching to sue Garmin & Cessna for? The hypothetical decommissioning of ILS approaches by the FAA? Good luck with that. No, they'd be sued for printing "WAAS upgradable" on all their price lists since the G1000 was introduced and then not providing that upgrade. They didn't say it was going to be free, just that there was going to be an upgrade path. And since the same comdat antenni and GIA form-factor boxen are used in the pre-and-post WAAS aircraft, the inability to ship out a new comdat and GIA box and have WAAS in the older aiframes is suspect. It should be a 2 hour job to smack the new antenni and boxes in and do a flight test. That was the whole point of the G1000 system, modular functions. Replace the box, instant upgrade. |
