Bendix /King recently announced a GPS/WAAS Display upgrade for the EFIS-40 &
EFIS-50 systems on the TBM 700 & PC-12 aircraft. The Symbol Generator
Software (SW) Modification (MOD) 15/01 will enable the EFIS 40/50 system to
display the correct WAAS vertical deviation when GPS is selected as the
navigation source and connected to a WAAS enabled GPS receiver via an ARINC
429 interface. This allows the KFC-325 autopilot to remain coupled to the
EFIS system display when flying an LPV.

The upgrade also allows autopilot enabled output and display of lateral
deviations and vertical guidance while on other WAAS GPS approaches.

Separate annunciations may be required to support WAAS, depending on the GPS
installation and supporting STC. The upgrade is applicable to EFIS 40/50 SG
465 Symbol Generators on the TBM 700 and PC-12 aircraft having Part Numbers
066-04021-1108 throug h -1114. The applicable SG 465 part numbers will be
converted to P/N: 066-04021-1115.

Upgrade list price: $5,000. Southeast Aerospace will also be offering
upgrade exchanges for non-WAAS units. Please
Contact SEA for details on exchanges.
