11-30-2020, 10:53 AM #1Future G1000 NXi enhancements
Now that NXi is available for both the Phenom 100 and Phenom 300, let's start dreaming about future enhancements we would like to the see in the platform. Please post your ideas in this thread and I will pass it on to my contacts at Garmin. I fully expect that we need to pay for future enhancements and will be a good carrot to dangle in-front of Garmin.
Here is my dream list.
- CSC Current Speed Control
Enable this button which has been on the aircraft since 2009. With CSC you can maintain the current speed as long as you are in ALT mode. Not as useful as an Auto Throttle but better than not having.
- Coupled Go Arounds
If a Cirrus can do coupled GA, so should the Phenom...
- FAA Datacom
We already have Eurolink 2000 capability with the GDR66 receiver, adding FAA Datacoom would be great for future requirements.
- FANS 1/A over GDR66 or GSR56 (Iridium)
Flying over the Atlantic with FANS 1/A opens up some additonal routes.
- Integrated W&B and TOLD
Enhance to the Weight Page to offer full W&B and TOLD data
- GWX 80 multi-scan radar
The GWX features an auto-tilt mode where it builds a composite image of the storm and presets it to the pilot. Simplifies radar management substantially. -

I would be a +1 to get the W&B/TOLD numbers to get spit out instead still manually having to pull those. I would also add some form of logic that would potentially bring up the checklist based on CAS messages. (Username Protected) likely saw this on his latest type rating he added. -

I recently started playing with Garmin's Enhanced checklist editor "Garmin CheckSet" (.gcl files instead of the older .ace), and this feature is supported by NXI with the right configurations (GCL also supports in-line links and images).
CAS linked checklist
A CAS linked checklist feature allows alerts to be linked to checklists so that the checklist will be present in the CAS group when the alert is activate. This feature must also be enabled on the Garmin Flight Deck System.
Linking an alert to a checklist requires specifying both its class and name. You will need the airframe alerting configuration file to know these values. Multiple .GAME configuration files or a single .ARCADE file can be loaded to guide linking.
Linked alerts can be further refined to just a few of the leaf's alerts using a leaf mask bitwise field. A leaf mask of value 37 translates to 00100101 in binary which means the first, third, and sixth leaves are linked.
