Nexair Avionics Introduces Saratoga NX, First Avidyne Entegra Release 9-Equipped SaratogaNexAir Upgrades Proven Airplane With State-of-the-Art Avionics, Superior Workmanship, Ramp Appeal and Value
The Saratoga NX™, is a completely modernized and upgraded Saratoga and the first to feature the Avidyne Entegra Release 9 Integrated Flight Deck (IFD). The Saratoga NX is an ideal aircraft for pilots and aircraft owners seeking maximum value and advanced avionics capabilities in a spinner-to-tail pristine aircraft without the high price, steep depreciation, and increased insurance costs of a new airplane. Fly-away pricing for a superbly equipped Saratoga NX is less than $400,000; an owner of an existing Saratoga can transform it into a Saratoga NX for under $250,000. The Saratoga NX is the product of the NexAir Aircraft Integration and Re-engineering™ (AIR) program, a clean-slate approach to revitalizing trusted and highly capable business and personal aircraft. It is the result of more than 60 years of experience that NexAir principals have in avionics design and systems engineering, and their reputation for integrity and professionalism. It also reflects their deep understanding of the technical, systems integration and practical flying aspects of today’s most advanced avionics systems.
Saratoga NX Features The standard features of the Saratoga NX offer capabilities beyond any other Saratoga available today. Entegra Release 9 provides a new level of communication between the FMS/NAV system and the Saratoga NX’s STEC 55X autopilot to reduce pilot workload. Once coupled to the Entegra system, the autopilot automatically switches to the proper mode during each phase of flight, eliminating confusion and surprises during critical operations. Situational Awareness and Safety Systems The Saratoga NX also comes standard with multiple situational awareness systems. The Avidyne MLB-770 Broadcast Datalink Receiver provides WSI InFlight™ graphical weather, as well as Sirius® Satellite Radio for crew and passenger entertainment. The Avidyne TWX-670 Tactical Weather Detection System provides an intuitive, color-coded display of hazardous weather activity for safe navigation. The Avidyne TAS-600 Traffic Advisory System uses dual antennas and active interrogation for high-performance traffic alert and collision avoidance. Avidyne CMax™ approach charts provide on-demand access to Jeppesen JeppView electronic approach charts and airport diagrams and show the aircraft’s instantaneous position and flight plan on the chart. The Avidyne EMax™ electronic engine monitoring system provides graphical displays of engine data for managing performance. The Saratoga NX also comes equipped with full-size backup instruments including an airspeed indicator, a turn coordinator, engine instruments and a Mid-Continent Instruments “Life Saver” battery backed up attitude indicator. Other standard Saratoga NX features include state-of-the-art, ergonomically designed, laser-cut, backlit and intuitively placed rocker switches that improve the look, feel and operation of the panel, and; a backup alternator. Technology and Style The interior appointments of the Saratoga NX have the feel and style of a luxury sports car with leather seating, added soundproofing, plush carpeting and improved passenger and crew ergonomics. A center console with a drink cooler also adds to passenger convenience. The paint scheme on the Saratoga NX gives a sleek and modern look to the airplane, as does a LoPresti cowling that improves engine cooling. LoPresti flap gap seals add knots to cruise speed. LoPresti WingTips with high-intensity pulse lights and an LED beacon light improve aircraft visibility and aid in nighttime taxi, takeoff and landing operations. Engines and Add-Ons The Saratoga NX comes standard with a zero-time factory remanufactured engine; Current Saratoga owners may elect to retain their existing strong, low-time engine. Saratoga NX add-ons include AmSafe Inflatable Restraint airbag seatbelts, an in-flight passenger DVD entertainment system and a fold-down worktable. The Avidyne DFC100 autopilot, and the Synthetic Vision (SVS) and Enhanced Vision (EVS) Systems may be installed once available from Avidyne.
