Garmin Avionics: Bringing The
Future Into Focus -- Visit Them in Hangar D, #4035 A/B/C, Combo

20 Years of Innovation: From Garmin
Avionics.
It all started two decades ago, with two engineers named Gary
and Min, who were convinced that GPS was the future - and formed a
business to prove it. Ever since then, pilots have come to expect a
constant stream of new ideas, technologies and products from the
company that launched its first best-seller with the GPS 100.
Innovation has always been the watchword at Garmin.
From the industry's first IFR approach-certified GPS to today's
digital "glass cockpit" systems and advanced WAAS-certified
navigators that enable pilots to fly GPS glidepath approaches into
airports with no ground-based landing systems - Garmin has
continued to reshape the "big picture" of General Aviation flight
capability.
Our full line of best-selling panel-mount, remote-mount and
portable equipment offers pilots a full range of VFR and IFR
choices. All of which bring new levels of safety, convenience,
efficiency and fun to any flight.
For example, this year at Oshkosh, Garmin is highlighting the
new G600/G500 series retrofit flight display systems. Combining
both Primary Flight Display (PFD) and Multifunction Display (MFD)
screens in a single bezel, these new units fit neatly into the
panel space vacated by the standard six-pack mechanical gauges.
Together with a WAAS-capable Garmin avionics stack, these units
quickly transform an old-style instrument cluster into a
state-of-the-art glass flight deck with reliable AHRS
attitude/heading reference and advanced graphical display
capabilities.
Both the G600 and G500 come with initial Garmin FliteCharts®
and SafeTaxi® diagrams pre-installed. Then, for added
situational awareness, a scaled version of Garmin SVT™
Synthetic Vision Technology is now available (standard on the G600,
optional on the G500) to create a 3-D "virtual reality" perspective
view of flight and enroute terrain features on the PFD screen.
Instead of a flat blue-over-brown flight display, users see an
in-depth perspective view of their flight situation. The
presentation looks so real, it's almost like having a clear day
out-the-window view, even in solid IFR, nighttime VFR, or other low
visibility conditions.
From a physical standpoint, the G600 and G500 look identical.
The difference lies in the options and interfaces provided with
each system. Offering a lower price point, the G500 is designed
specifically for Class 1/ Class 2 aircraft (under 6,000 lbs). The
G600 is also approved for Class 1 and 2 aircraft - as well as for
larger Class 3 piston and turbine aircraft between 6,000 lbs and
12,500 lbs MTOW. Class B TAWS alerting is available as an option on
the G600 only. And in addition to standard SVT, the G600 also comes
standard with a GAD 43 adapter that can emulate many existing gyro
interfaces, enabling AHRS data to drive select autopilots in place
of a mechanical ADI. This adapter is optionally available with the
G500 system.
These new Garmin suites are clearly designed for pilots by
pilots. And it's easy to see why, in just 20 short years, Garmin
has become the #1 avionics company serving the owner-flown aircraft
market.
