Garmin Offers G600 Rebates, Wireless Flight Plan Filing
The folks at Garmin always come to the show with something new to announce, and this year is no exception, with price cuts and rebates on popular products, in addition new wireless services for mobile phones. Buyers of the new G600 retrofit avionics suite will get a $2,500 rebate off the G600 if they also buy two GNS 430W, two GNS 530W, or a GNS 430W and 530W by November 30. “We believe the G600 will change the way pilots fly,” said Gary Kelley, Garmins vice president of marketing. “This $2,500 incentive will make it even more feasible for pilots to turn their avionics panel into the all-glass avionics suite theyve dreamed about.” The G600 incorporates two displays in a package designed to easily fit into the space currently occupied by the traditional instrument six-pack. The system list price will be $29,772, and Garmin said it will be available by the middle of next year. The company also announced that Pilot My-Cast by Garmin is now available for download on mobile phones.
