THE AIRCRAFT

Meet Epic E1000

Epic developed the E1000 from its earlier kit-aircraft work into a certificated production aircraft. The low-wing composite airframe combines a compact cabin with a substantial nose-mounted turboprop. Later GX developments brought further equipment changes.

Aerobask's X-Plane version pairs the aircraft with a G1000-based flight deck and developer-specific engine indications and systems. A photograph of an E1000 GX illustrates that particular real-aircraft development; the add-on's own product documentation describes the equipment actually simulated.

Aerobask

A G1000 cockpit with turboprop-specific systems

The E1000 uses Laminar's GFC700 and G1000 as a base, with custom PT6 engine displays and an EIS500 standby instrument. Aerobask also documents de-icing systems and circuit breakers. The engine displays and supporting systems are important parts of this implementation, rather than assuming every G1000-equipped aircraft shares an identical cockpit.
