Garmin is offering rebates of up to $50,000 for King Air C90, 200/B200, 300 and 350 owners and operators who upgrade their avionics to the G1000 integrated flight deck between now and May 29. Garmin says the G1000 retrofit gives operators with enhanced capabilities that minimize pilot workload, increase situational awareness and provide NextGen capabilities.

 


Aforementioned King Air models upgraded to the G1000 from a factory-installed Pro Line 21 avionics system are eligible for a $50,000 rebate from Garmin, while those with other avionics are eligible for a $25,000 rebate. In addition to the G1000 upgrade, purchase of the Platinum or Platinum Plus package for King Air B200s and 300s also qualifies for these rebates, Garmin said.
