Next-generation flight deck brings the latest
industry-leading innovations to Part 25 transport aircraft
OLATHE,
Kan., June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin
(NYSE: GRMN) 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.
"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."
–Carl Wolf, Garmin Vice President of Aviation Sales,
Marketing, Programs & Support
State-of-the-art flight deck
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.
Intuitive crew-centered design
G5000 PRIME has a crew-centered 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).
Advanced automation and advanced flight tools
G5000 PRIME provides enhanced flight management system (FMS)
tools like the Modified Flight Plan, which allows pilots to use
both the PDU and SDUs to provide a side-by-side graphical preview
of flight plan changes, including performance calculation
comparisons or what-if scenarios. To further ease information
management, the Window Manager feature allows pilots to configure
app display, window sizing, and more across the entire flight deck
from one SDU. The Window Manager also provides multiple preset
options that can configure all displays with one command,
eliminating the need for operators to manually configure each
window for various phases of flight.
Leveraging advanced automation capabilities, G5000 PRIME is
designed to enhance safety in high pilot workload environments.
During initialization, pilots can elect to set up an Emergency
Return function, which simplifies pilot responses to in-flight
emergencies shortly after takeoff. Safety technologies such as
Emergency Descent Mode and Garmin Autothrottles further ensure
automation is available to assist crews in every phase of flight.
Additionally, G5000 PRIME integrates key aircraft performance,
takeoff and landing data (TOLD) and load planning applications from
the AeroData portfolio of products, allowing for a seamless
operational integration and reducing crew workload during preflight
and initialization.
Garmin's terminal safety solutions add even more capabilities to
G5000 PRIME-equipped aircraft. Runway Occupancy Awareness (ROA)
technology analyzes GPS and ADS-B traffic information relevant to
the airport's runways and taxiways to assess and alert the flight
crew of a possible runway incursion or collision. ROA builds upon
Garmin's other terminal safety solutions including Runway Overrun
Awareness and Alerting System (ROAAS), 3D
SafeTaxi® and Garmin SurfaceWatch™.
Additionally, Taxiway Routing provides automated route guidance on
the 2D navigational maps and 3D Synthetic Vision Technology
(SVT™) depictions.
Connected fleet & improved dispatch availability
G5000 PRIME supports an array of connectivity capabilities,
including use of the GDL® 60 datalink to offload
diagnostics and aircraft health information for maintenance or
dispatch teams to use. With Connext® global
datalink services, operators can receive worldwide satellite
weather coverage, voice calling, email and text messaging to the
cockpit. G5000 PRIME also supports global airspace modernization
initiatives, including FAA Data Comm and Link 2000+ CPDLC
applications, FANS 1/A+, ACARS – and advanced performance-based
navigation (PBN). Backed by proven reliability from over 30,000
Garmin flight decks in the field, and new modular,
easy-to-interchange LRU designs, G5000 PRIME is designed to keep
fleets flying in the most demanding operational environments.
Aircraft delivering with G5000 PRIME will be announced by
aircraft manufacturers. To learn more,
