Garmin’s certification program for upgrading the Beechjet400A/Hawker 400XP to its G5000 integrated flight deck has completed several milestones toward achieving FAA approval in the first quarter of 2016. These include system architecture and installation details, High Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF), lightning and reduced vertical separation minimum (RVSM) testing. Autopilot testing is nearly done, according to Garmin, “indicating the program is in its final stages.” The weight savings for the upgrade is about 150 pounds.
