Combining an IFR GPS navigator, integrated TAWS, weather radar display, a 16-watt digital VHF comm and VHF nav/ILS, Bendix/King’s new KSN 770 multifunction display takes the place of up to four separate units. It features a large, high-resolution display and a sleek, ergonomic, intuitive design. The system also includes a comprehensive moving map and a fully certified 24-channel WAAS-LPV GPS navigator. But, according to Honeywell/Bendix-King, that’s not the only technology separating the KSN 770 from other systems.

The KSN 770 showcases a full VGA high resolution screen with a larger display area than on previous models. It offers an excellent view of the latest Jeppesen electronic charts and maps, complete with an own-aircraft position overlay. Based on the graphical user interface found on advanced business jets, their GUI enables graphical flight planning with a cursor control device "so simple to use, flight planning and enroute navigation have never been easier." The KSN 770 includes a complete set of safety system display options that include on board weather radar, lightning, data link weather, TCAS and TAWS-B.
