This is the panel of the Kodiak, sporting its high tech Garmin G-1000 Type G-36 Avionics
system. The unique feature of the Garmin system is that all information is accessed on the
screens, making the panel look clean and void of 'instrument clutter'.
An interesting bit of trivia on this futuristic Avionics package is that it has a built-in GFC700
AFCS (Automatic Flight Control System), or Autopilot. Both the FD or FD/ AP can be switched
on. Control of the pitch and roll and VS can be controlled manually using the FD command bars,
or controlled automatically with the AP. These features are a breakthrough in gauge design.
Building the AP alone took approximately 2 months to complete.
