Any good without it? Can’t drop the $70 just for a gauge

RXP GTN 750 is currently $35..

And the Carenado Phenom 300 equipped with the GTN750 (panel mod) is a great airplane to fly..

Looks like I got confused between the RXP and Flight1 version. Thanks!

Have a look at the Latest Carenado Citation 560XL - also on sale at a give away price for this aircraft

and I agree with the others - the Dasault FA 50 is a delight and long distanced - also cheap.

I've got to admit...their C560, with PBR on exterior, is actually decent, as long as you use the GTN 750.  And for the sale price I'd buy it (I bought it at full price).  Also get a hold of @Bert Pieke he's got a nice little mod for the GTN750 and that plane.

To me if you fly GA getting a GTN750 is pretty much a requirement, I love flying with it and The range of aircraft that support the gauge is extensive.

hard for me to justify the GTN750 since there is no way to update AIRAC without spending 900$ a year

The GTN trainer is pretty regularly updated. I plan my Falcon 50 flights with PFPX using Navigraph, and ProAtcX. If there's a fix that's new I just create a custom waypoint in the GTN 750 (I use the Flight1, I own the RealityXP too but get better perf with the F1) and you can quickly add the Lat/Lon in the GTN. But I rarely run into that scenario, the trainer database is almost always up to par.

you are at the mercy of Garmin instead of getting the new AIRAC every 28 days. It could be months before a new trainer gets release. 

True, however how much really changes from release to release?  You can still figure out a flight plan even if the data is a year old.

On balance, if I had to choose between a GTN750 that rarely doesn’t have an updated waypoint I need vs no GTN750 I’ll take the GTN750 every time.  And I am someone that has a Navigraph subscription for the rest of my aircraft...obviously a Navigraph update for the GTN would be ideal but it’s not what we have to work with.

It doesn't change much at all. I fly all over the US and Europe and maybe 1 out of 10 flights I have to make 1-2 custom waypoints which takes a whole minute each. So definitely doable!

Bert, is there a similar retrofit for Phenom 300 with RXP GTN 750? The one in the link is Flight1 GTN750.

Thanks.

Man would be perfect if a company would create a PL21 or G1000 which addon developer can buy and implement in there aircraft. That would make it a lot easier to create great addon aircraft and would be lucrative. And we would get a lot more light jets :) 

cheers

Yeah maybe if Milviz could sell theirs....it's a pretty decent PL21 rendition...and accepts Navigraph
