Garmin® G600 Receives FAA Approval for RVSM Certification in Cessna 441 Conquest II

Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (Nasdaq: GRMN),
AeroMech of Everett, Washington, and Corporate Aircraft of Fresno,
California, today announced that the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) has approved a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) package for
Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) certification of the G600
installed in select aircraft.

The STC package is available for G600 installations on the Cessna 441
Conquest II with an ARC 1000 autopilot, which enables Conquest II
operators to fly RVSM flight profiles from Flight Level 290 to the
aircraft’s maximum operating altitude. This allows Conquest II pilots to
gain fuel savings, lower their carbon footprint, increase range and give
them the flexibility to fly above bad weather.

“As Garmin’s premier aftermarket flight display, the G600 is the perfect
complement to the Conquest II,” said Gary Kelley, Garmin’s vice
president of marketing. “And now, with the RVSM certification, it has
even more to offer operators including the enhanced flexibility to fly
more efficiently and more safely at higher altitudes.”

“The Garmin G600 RVSM solution in the Cessna 441 provides Conquest
operators with the ability to fly safer by flying above the weather and
for less with up to a 26% less fuel burn. The G600 system provides
altitude preselect using the G600 altitude bug, further reducing pilot
workload and simplifying the scan,” said Pete Tsaris, Corporate
Aircraft’s general manager. “Working with Garmin and AeroMech Inc. was a
great experience for Corporate Aircraft and together this group was able
to develop the best possible RVSM solution for the Cessna 441.”

The G600 is a certified avionics system designed specifically for FAR
Part 23 Class I, II or III aircraft and is ideal for those wanting to
transform their panel from gauges to glass. It shows critical flight
data on two six and a half inch diagonal flat-panel displays. These
screens are mounted side by side in a single bezel that fits neatly into
the “six pack” slot of the instrument panel. The G600’s PFD shows
attitude, airspeed, climb rate, altitude and course/heading information
over a virtual terrain image with SVT™, and the MFD displays detailed
moving-map graphics of the aircraft’s current position in relation to
ground features, chart data, navaids, flight plan routings and more.

Installations of RVSM-compliant G600 avionics may be completed at a
Garmin authorized dealer. G600’s that are certified for RVSM will
include the GDC 74B air data computer, altitude pre-select, and other
required hardware. Pricing for the equipment and STC package will begin
at approximately $80,000.
