It took some time to get LPV approved in Hawkers. The first time I heard Collins talk about it was at the M&O seminar at NBAA in September 2007. The 750/800XP/850XP/900XP were the first HBC product to get the LPV approval in 3Q 2009.

The Premier is next, and then I hear 3Q 2010 for the Proline IV Beechjets. That's going to be even more money, becuase 2 GPS receivers will be required, and most 400A's have only 1 GPS-4000A.

$70k, plus the DBU-5000 (USB) upgrade. Not required, but it sure is nice. Both J7 World Databases, loaded simultaneously, takes about 18 minutes. You can load the E-charts also while the FMS's are loading.

That's about another 35K to install the second gps in the Beechjet. We won't be doing that to ours, it goes on the market next week.

The DBU 5000 is nice, I have the PCD 3000, old school cable but I can load the Americas data bases in 15 minutes.
