Collins Pro Line vs Garmin G1000
I notice that the Citation CJ1s have Collins Pro Line and the Citation
Mustangs have Garmin 1000s. Does the Pro Line have any significant advantages over the Garmin 1000? Which might be easier for the single pilot to learn? -Just Curious -Charles Talleyrand |

Collins Pro Line vs Garmin G1000
I wonder about such things also. Then new King Air c90gti is going with
Collins Pro Line, which I am sort of happy about. Very, actually. Logical since the other King Airs are Collins and the Hawker Jet is also.

The Collins Pro Line FMS is WAY more sophisticated than a
G1000............no comparison. Karl "Charles Talleyrand" wrote in message oups.com... I notice that the Citation CJ1s have Collins Pro Line and the Citation Mustangs have Garmin 1000s.

When WAAS becomes predominant over the next few years, a full blown FMS like the Collins, Honeywell, or Univesal instruments will be fairly obsolete. Other than as a reference for backup systems, their accuracy will be pretty poor compared to what WAAS will offer especially given such things as curved flight paths, descending turns, etc. -- Matt Barrow Performace Homes, LLC.

Other than as a reference for backup systems, their accuracy will be pretty poor compared to what WAAS will offer especially given such things as curved flight paths, descending turns, etc. When WAAS becomes predominant, the full blown FMSes will be using a WAAS sensor so they will hardly be obsolete. Even today, most FMS units are operating with the GPS data 90% of the time. Those redundant modes aren't very important until you need them. It's still possible to get an integrity alert even with WAAS. What you get with a real FMS is a whole host of functions that the G1000 can't even contemplate -- sophisticated vertical nav options, take-off and landing performance calculations, etc. Those features won't be obsoleted by a new nav sensor. I agree with Karl, no comparison. Gerry |

Yeah...they'll still need those DME's and VOR trangulators. Even today, most FMS units are operating with the GPS data 90% of the time.

Just that so much of the FMS's complexity will be overkill... I suspect the new generation of FMSs will look more like the G100 than what's out there now. http://gps.faa.gov/library/Data/waas/40423_Register.doc |

can't even contemplate -- sophisticated vertical nav options, take-off and landing performance calculations, etc. Those features won't be obsoleted by a new nav sensor. Just that so much of the FMS's complexity will be overkill... We've toured Collins (their plant is in Cedar Rapids, just 30 miles north of here) and what they're doing there is absolutely amazing. Friends of ours work there, and to see what they are developing and testing -- things like "highway in the sky" and datalinked everything technology -- just blew us away. I'm sure Garmin is hot on their heels -- but Collins continues to grow by leaps and bounds. And the avionics we'll be seeing in the future will make my 496 look like a stone tablet. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
