FEATURES

IFR GPS with color moving map

Jeppesen database (front-loading data card) contains all airports, VORs, NDBs, intersections, FSS, Approach, SIDs/STARs, and SUA information

Offers enhanced situational awareness with relation to cities, highways, railroads, rivers, lakes and coastlines

Use of color separates land data, terminal areas, route, and approach information for easy pilot scanning

TSO C129a certified for non-precision approach

XM WX satellite weather service via GDL 69 available in 2005
