Garmin has also expanded its range of avionics offerings to leading General Aviation aircraft manufacturers
such as the Cessna Aircraft Company, Cirrus Aircraft, Hawker Beechcraft Corporation, Diamond Aircraft Industries,
Embraer, Piper Aircraft, Inc., DAHER- SOCATA and Quest Aircraft through the installation of the G1000 integrated
flight deck as original equipment aboard new aircraft. This system integrates attitude, heading, air data,
navigation, communication, engine monitoring, and other aircraft functions into a single cohesive system which
interfaces with the flight crew using a set of large, bright TFT displays. The G1000 also includes an integrated
autopilot – the GFC700. Garmin also has expanded its G1000 certifications to the business jet segment, such as
