Garmin has added several new upgrades to its G5000 integrated flight deck for the Beechjet 400A/Hawker 400XP that includes FAA data comm functionality, ADS-B In traffic and weather, new cockpit connectivity options, Garmin’s TCAS Change 7.1-compliant traffic system, and digital radar altimeter.
The upgrades announced today by the Olathe, Kansas-based avionics manufacturer also feature three high-resolution 12-inch flight displays alongside dual touchscreen display controllers serving as a primary crew interface to the system, which Garmin said simplifies operation and ease of control of the flight deck. The wide landscape-format flight displays offer a multi-pane mode that enables multiple pages to be viewed side-by-side, providing added flexibility and redundancy. The multi-pane function allows pilots to simultaneously view maps, charts, checklist, TAWS, TCAS, flight plans, and weather without clutter or compromise to the system’s visual layout, Garmin added.
This upgrade is available from select Garmin authorized dealers.
