Accept nothing less than excellence
Cessna’s
engineering team designed the Skyhawk’s cockpit with the latest in avionic
technology and the most advanced application of ergonomic sciences available.
The flight deck is powered by the Garmin G1000® avionics suite,
including optional integrated Garmin Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT™) and an
automatic flight control system. Two 10.4-inch, high-resolution liquid crystal
displays show flight instrumentation, traffic data, digital altitude, moving
maps, navigation, communication, and other real-time flight-critical data.
See the future
The
Skyhawk’s flight deck can include the optional Garmin Synthetic Vision Technology
(SVT™), which offers sophisticated graphics modeling of terrain, traffic, and
obstacles in the flight path. The system looks at the entire flight path via
satellite and renders a three-dimensional “virtual reality” landscape, which is
displayed on one or both primary flight displays. This technology prepares you for
what lies ahead in plenty of time to plan for it and gives you a clear visual
of any traffic around your aircraft, even in solid IFR (instrument flight
rules) or nighttime VFR (visual flight rules) conditions.
Digital weather radar
With the optional GDL 69A data link receiver and a subscription to XM WX Satellite Weather, you will see a high-resolution representation of the weather along your flight path on your high-resolution primary flight display. The GDL 69 offers NEXRAD, METARs, TAFs, lightning, and more that you can layer directly over optional Jeppesen or standard topographic map databases. Global weather information is available through the optional GSR 56, which connects you to the Iridium satellite network. Voice and text messaging connectivity as well as position reporting and digital color radar data are included.
