Of course they haven't ANNOUNCED any changes - doesn't mean changes aren't in progress behind the scenes.
As far as Phenom avionics...I haven't heard ANYTHING bad about the G1000 system in any aircraft, and specifically nothing bad about "Embraer Prodigy".
I too think Fusion would be a better fit, but I'm just a pilot.
No STC according to the FAA either.
Sovereign needed to get PL21 three years ago.
Wouldn't surprise me to see it get the G5000, but winglets? Would that wing really benefit from them?
I figured elliptical winglets ala the X...what are you hearing they'll look like?
That said, I have heard MANY Sovereign operators report MANY issues with their EPIC avionics, both in person and on the internet. Database update issues, poor component reliability, course intercept over/undershoots, and just plain working well. The recommendation that EPIC Phase 5 aircraft not fly coupled ILS/LPV approaches, for example - completely unacceptable for a $17M+ aircraft. Which is really odd, since EPIC seems to work well in Gulfstream/Falcon/Embraer products.
When you hear how great the Sovereign is EXCEPT for avionics so many times, from so many different pilots, it seems like a change would be in order...<shrug>
