As flight testing of the new Anthem avionics suite in Honeywell’s Pilatus PC-12 continues, the turboprop single is taking a short break this week in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where EAA AirVenture attendees can check out the revamped instrument panel up close. 

Honeywell test pilot Ed Manning made the first flight earlier this year of the PC-12 fully equipped with the Anthem suite. Earlier flight testing, which began in the PC-12 more than a year ago, was with a partial Anthem system mounted on one side of the instrument panel, supported by original Honeywell Primus Apex avionics on the other side.
