“Deutsche Aircraft is developing the D328eco to be a disruptive
new entrant in the regional air transportation segment, and we are
proud to work in close coordination with their team to help them
bring new technologies to this market,” said Creighton Scarpone,
Garmin director of airline and business aviation sales. “Garmin has
an established history of supplying innovative, forward-looking
avionics technologies to operators across the industry and we are
honored to have been selected to bring our G5000 integrated flight
deck into the regional airline market on Deutsche Aircraft’s
D328eco aircraft.”
“We are thrilled having Garmin join our D328eco programme and
offer the first newly designed flight deck for a sub 70 seater
regional aircraft in this century,” said Dave Jackson, Deutsche
Aircraft managing director. “The new D328eco Companion flight deck,
based on Garmin’s G5000 proven capabilities, will set the standards
for the future of this segment.”
Engineered to reduce flight crew workload and simplify
operations The G5000 integrated flight deck for the D328eco
aids in Simplified Vehicle Operation (SVO) by simplifying the crew
interface and integrating key aircraft systems and other features
into touchscreen displays, helping to reduce flight crew workload.
Pilots can simultaneously view important flight data linked to the
G5000 such as maps, charts, checklists, electronic documents and
manuals, flight plan information, traffic alerts, weather and more
for quick and easy access in busy flight environments.
Incorporation of touchscreen overhead controls simplifies the
overhead panel with electronic circuit breakers, switches, and
overall system status presented in a clean touchscreen
interface.
Enhanced situational awareness with Garmin technologies
Garmin SafeTaxi® is an available feature of the G5000 and helps
pilots more easily navigate busy airport and terminal environments
by featuring geo-referenced airport diagrams that displays runways,
taxiways, as well as ramp information that dynamically adjusts
based on where the aircraft is on the field. To increase
situational awareness of flight crews during lower visibility
operations or busy taxi environments, SafeTaxi identifies airport
Hot Spots and overlays hold short lines on airport diagrams to
provide crews with an active representation of threats during
ground movement and helps avoid runway incursions. In addition,
SurfaceWatch™ enhances situational awareness and adds a safety tool
in the terminal environment by providing visual and aural cues to
help prevent flight crews to keep from taking off and landing on a
taxiway, on a runway that is too short or on the incorrect runway
based on performance data entered during preflight.
Garmin has pioneered synthetic vision systems (SVS) for years
and is now bringing its revolutionary synthetic vision technology
(SVT™) to the Part 25 air transport market with the G5000
integrated flight deck. Garmin SVT is a safety-enhancing feature
that presents flight crews with a 3D virtual depiction of terrain,
obstacles, traffic and the runway environment to help pilots
increase situational awareness in all phases of flight.
When navigating around challenging weather and storm cells, the
GWX™ 8000 StormOptix weather radar provides a complete picture by
using automatic threat analysis to better profile significant
weather with a four times greater color palette than typically
found in other weather radars on the market. In addition, GWX 8000
StormOptix eliminates the requirement to manually adjust the radar
and simplifies the operational process to help mitigate task
saturation often associated with operating complicated weather
radar platforms.
Optimized to enable future technologies The G5000 for the
D328eco is designed with flexibility in system architecture to meet
future needs by more easily enabling software updates and growth in
new technologies. In addition, the G5000 has advanced architecture
to support special missions capabilities through the touchscreen
controllers without needing to make hardware changes, ultimately
simplifying the process for these operations.
Advanced capabilities The G5000 for the D328eco boasts a
multitude of other situational awareness and performance features
that are desirable to air transport operators, including:
- Operators gain access to more airports and lower approach
minimums throughout the world as the G5000 has PBN/RNP 0.3 with
LPV/APV approach capability;
- Active and passive traffic surveillance functionality using
advanced TCAS II/ACAS II technology and featuring patented Garmin
ADS-B target correlation and tracking for cutting edge traffic
management and airspace monitoring;
- Future Air Navigation System (FANS-1/A+) and Aircraft
Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) support and
services, including Controller Pilot Data Link Communication
(CPDLC) functions enroute;
- Optional Iridium transceiver providing worldwide weather
datalink in addition to voice and data communications;
- Touchscreen controller allows crews to access Takeoff and
Landing Data (TOLD) as well as other advanced performance
data.
