Daher-Socta's First TBM 700 with Garmin 600/GTN750

DAHER-SOCATA's First TBM 700 with Garmin 600/GTN 750
​

Daher-Socata announced its delivery of the first avionics-modernized TBM 700 high-speed turboprop aircraft with a Garmin G600/GTN 750 new-generation glass cockpit avionics retrofit, replacing mechanical equipment and first-generation cathode ray tube (CRT) electronic flight displays. The Garmin G600 is an instrument panel upgrade that pairs a liquid-crystal primary flight display (PFD) and multi-function display (MFD) in a single 10-inch bezel. Capabilities of its sophisticated graphics include Synthetic Vision Technology, providing a “virtual reality” perspective view along the aircraft’s flight path.

This upgrade’s cost, including replacement of the instrument panel, begins at $120,000 for a dual-screen G600 basic package – with an installation time estimated at 250 man-hours. DAHER-SOCATA offers a more sophisticated package with the combination of G600 and a Garmin GTN 750 GPS/NAV/COM system which uses a touchscreen interface on a larger display screen, offering graphical flight planning, transponder control, audio control and electronic chart capabilities.

L-3 Avionics Systems’ Trilogy ESI-2000 standby attitude equipment also is a part of the package to replace traditional stand-by instruments. The new retrofit package, which was announced at last year’s AirVenture Oshkosh aviation event, is a lower-cost alternative to a full retrofit with the Garmin G1000 integrated flight instrument system. The G600/GTN750 package provides pilots of TBM 700s and non-G1000- TBM 850s with enhanced situational awareness and workload reduction.
