including Textron Aviation, Hawker Beechcraft, and Raytheon.
Applicability
This document applies to all King Air Model 300 Series aircraft equipped with the G1000NXi
system. All G1000NXi King Air 300 Series airplanes are configured per General Arrangement
drawing 005-00629-N2 Rev 1 or subsequent.
Modification of an aircraft by this Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) obligates the aircraft
operator to include the maintenance information provided by this document in the operator's
Aircraft Maintenance Manual and the operator's Aircraft Scheduled Maintenance Program.
Aircraft modified by this STC have been shown to qualify for operation in Reduced Vertical
Separation Minimum (RVSM) airspace as a group aircraft in accordance with Title 14 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 91, Appendix G, "Operations in Reduced Vertical
Separation Minimum (RVSM) Airspace", and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Document
No. 91-RVSM, Change 2 dated 2/10/2004, "Guidance Material On the Approval Of
Operators/Aircraft For RVSM Operations". This qualification is based on analysis of the
configuration and performance of the air data, automatic altitude control, altitude alerting, and
altitude reporting systems. These systems must be maintained in accordance with the
inspections and tests specified in this document and other current maintenance practices to
guarantee continued compliance to RVSM specifications.
Identifying an STC Configuration
The General Arrangement drawing lists the G1000 System Software Version numbers approved
for this STC. This section shows where to find the installed software version and airframe type
in the G1000 system for service if the technician is unsure of what G1000 software and
configuration is installed.
1. Place the G1000 system in configuration mode (reference Section 3.1 for instructions).
