Real world Beech1900 FMS???

[Gary R.]

What kind of FMS system is typically installed in a Beech 1900D or does it use a GA style gps system or since its shorthaul to they fly 2 vors and an adf similar to the old DC9's??

The Beech 1900 flightdeck is probably very similar to the B200 King Air, meaning no FMS.
But what you will find is a GPS unit (Bendix King perhaps) that is integrated into the autopilot and the EFIS system

All the BE200's I've flown in have had an FMS. I'm 99% certian all new 1900's are equiped with FMS (I know the new King Airs are). I'd also imagine most operators have equiped thier 1900's with FMSs.

Are you sure those are not GNSS's?
There's a big difference between those and an FMS  :)

Cripes, that is what you get with outdated material. The "older" B1900 did not come with FMS, so this was new!
Thanks for the heads up  :)
Btw any idea of what type of FMS that is on the B1900?
Looks kinda like the GNS-Xl's that we find in your citations, but the CDU isn't exactly the same, and none of the Univeral UNS series fits either...

Any idea would be great  :)
