Garmin today introduced G5000 PRIME, its most advanced integrated flight deck for Part 25 transport aircraft.
Built for the demands of transport category aircraft and powered by Garmin innovations, G5000 PRIME is designed to simplify operations and enhance safety.
The robust, intuitive, all-touchscreen flight deck is designed to feature more displays and display layout options to provide additional information in busy airport environments.
G5000 PRIME is highly flexible and customizable, and its open architecture supports advanced system integration, enabling operators to rapidly deploy new technologies.
The avionics suite also incorporates additional systems and capabilities, providing access to more aircraft-level systems within the avionics, and adds reliability and high dispatch availability.
Carl Wolf, Garmin vice president of aviation sales, marketing, programs & support said: “With over 30,000 integrated flight decks in the field, Garmin has paved the way for innovation and set a new standard for integrated avionics.
“The G5000 PRIME avionics suite is completely optimized for crewed operations and includes deeper systems integration, and advanced automation and connectivity features that will reduce crew workload and streamline workflow in the cockpit.”
G5000 PRIME features expansive touchscreen primary display units (PDU) with edge-to-edge, sunlight-readable, fingerprint-resistant glass, redefining expectations in cockpit aesthetics and functionality.
The vibrant displays include multiple performance enhancements such as quadruple the memory and gigabit system connectivity that is up to 100 times faster than previous generation flight decks.
New, faster multi-core processors more than double the processing power – leveraging Garmin’s experience certifying multi-core technology for civil and military aviation markets as early as 2017.
Additionally, higher display refresh rates provide crisp, smooth animations and an impressively responsive and fluid experience.
Complementary secondary display units (SDU) provide data entry and system control, with the added capability to display multi-function applications.
The high-resolution SDUs boast a 40% increase in screen area over prior Garmin touch controllers.
G5000 PRIME has a crew-cantered user interface that is designed to streamline workflows and help crews quickly assess information.
The context-sensitive layouts, alerts and more, all provide pilots a seamless platform that can enhance situational awareness and operational efficiency.
The advanced multi-touch touchscreen interface is capable of recognizing up to 10 touchscreen inputs at once, allowing both the pilot and copilot to interact with the same display simultaneously.
The enhanced multi-touch technology also enables on-screen hand stabilization, allowing pilots to give precise touchscreen inputs while simultaneously resting their fingers on the display.
Support for dedicated control devices allows for intuitive physical control of commonly used functions through Garmin-designed products and third-party cursor control devices (CCD).
