The other shoe has dropped... and Garmin has staked a claim on
one of the most aggressively contested market segments in the
avionics biz... the Part 25 'Big Bad Jet' Market... and its
starting off with Cessna's retooled Citation Ten. Damn... we're
sure glad they didn't try something difficult (grin).
The Garmin G5000 is designed specifically for crew-flown turbine
aircraft and combines a dual multi-sensor flight management system
(FMS), touchscreen vehicle management units, and multi-pane cockpit
displays. These widescreen displays with touchscreen controls give
pilots comprehensive control over capabilities that include
worldwide weather, Garmin’s synthetic vision technology
(SVT), aircraft synoptics, electronic flight charts, and more.
The new flight deck, scheduled for the front office of a
Citation Ten coming your way in 2013, is accented by the new, fully
integrated Garmin G5000 -- centered on three 14-inch LCD primary
and multifunction displays and four touch-screen control
panels.
Among the standard features of the new system are a
pilot-vehicle touch-screen interface, TCAS II with Change 7.1,
Synthetic Vision Technology, electronic charts, Garmin’s
SafeTaxi, a dual flight management system with WAAS LPV and RNP 0.3
SAAAR capability, solid-state weather radar with turbulence
detection and vertical scan capability, integrated terrain
awareness and warning system (TAWS), ADS-B Out and Link 2000+ data
link. Options include satellite weather and an ICAO Type 1A flight
data recorder.
The G5000 also includes a three-axis, fully digital, dual
channel, fail passive autoflight system, and has the ability to
provide tightly integrated auto-throttle capability. Garmin expects
to receive TSO/Certification of the new G5000 system in 2012.
