CENTURY AVIONICS

-

Century Avionics had the privilege to create the dream avionics suite for a customer of ours from Germany. The aircraft arrived from Namibia with a well-equipped avionics panel, but the client requested for the latest avionics system suitable for his aircraft model. The following avionics equipment was installed by Century Avionics:

Dual Garmin G500 TXi 10.6” screens were installed to display primary flight informatio­n (PFD) and multifunct­ion display (MFD) capabiliti­es on the same unit. Optional engine, fuel and electrical readouts (EIS) can also be interfaced in a vertical strip alongside the PFD/MFD. The second 10.6” display can be split 80 / 20 to accommodat­e MFD and EIS functions, allowing the PFD to show full-screen flight data.

• The Garmin GMA-350C is the first truly all-digital audio panel, the GMA-350 introduces a number of new technologi­es to the cockpit, including Telligence™ Voice Command, 3-D audio processing and advanced auto squelch.

The fourth generation of GPS/NAV/COMM solutions both the Garmin GTN 650/750 Xi are designed as a direct slide-in upgrade to the previous generation GTN 650/750. The all-in-one GPS/NAV/COMM boasts a feature-rich multifunct­ion display and can integrate with new or existing remote-mount equipment such as a transponde­r or audio panel.

A game-changing addition to the Connext platform, the Flight Stream 510 pairs with your GTN 650Xi and GTN 750Xi series navigators to add greater flexibilit­y and convenienc­e both inside and outside of the cockpit to save you time and workload. It requires no wiring changes or complex installati­on considerat­ions, yet it allows you to more easily manage your database subscripti­ons via the Garmin Pilot app, while also enabling wireless flight plan transfer with your GTN, sharing of traffic, weather, GPS and more. It will connect with the dual Garmin G500 TXi glass flight displays paired the GTN, Flight Stream 510 even wirelessly displays back-up attitude informatio­n on a mobile device.

Using Connext satellite services, the Garmin GSR 56 can provide seamless global coverage nearly everywhere your aircraft can go, even in locations not previously served by other satellite networks. Simply set up voice and data service (subscripti­on required) and start enjoying added safety and convenienc­e on every flight.

The Garmin GTX 345 remote unit is a Mode S Extended Squitter (ES) transponde­r which provides a one-box, one-swap solution while providing all the weather and traffic benefits of ADS-B ‘In’ onto the MFD screens. This aircraft will be based in Germany and they will enjoy all the benefits this feature has to offer.

The MidContine­nt TA202 Series USB chargers simultaneo­usly provides 3 amps of power per charging port. Single and dual USB-C and USB-A configurat­ions deliver non-stop entertainm­ent and business productivi­ty while flying. Four USB charger ports has been installed throughout the airframe.
