GLASS COCKPITS FOR ROBINS

The classic DR400 range of ROBIN aircraft is still manufactured at Dijon. From early Summer 2011 ALL new ROBIN aircraft will have, as an option, a glass cockpit based on the Garmin 500. This will include the Lycoming engine 180hp REGENT and 200hp PRESIDENT, and the Centurion diesel engine ECOFLYER 135 and 155.

As well as an optional extra in new aircraft manufactured in Dijon, the Garmin 500 will also be available as a retro-fit in UK based ROBINs and installed here in the UK by Lees Avionics.

Mistral Aviation can quote now for new ROBIN aircraft with the Garmin 500 glass cockpit. Price quotations for a retro-fit are available from Lees Avionics. Said John Kistner, long time distributor of ROBIN aircraft “like all other GA manufacturers, Robin had their ups and downs but now these classic, not to say famous, aircraft are much on the scene again”.
