Garmin introduced its G5000 Prime integrated flight deck today (June 11). The company touts the system as the most advanced integrated flight deck for Part 25 (large airline) transport aircraft. The touchscreen system’s open architecture is friendly to integrating new technologies, Garmin said.
G5000 Prime has quadruple the memory and system connectivity, as much as 100 times faster than previous-generation flight decks. New multi-core processors more than double the processing power and higher display refresh rates “provide crisp, smooth animations and an impressively responsive and fluid experience,” the company said.
Carl Wolf, Garmin VP of aviation sales, marketing, programs and support, said, “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.”
I’d upgrade my 757 with this new Garmin flight deck but if I can’t get into KHPN it just doesn’t make sense. Thinking of downsizing.
Unfortunately Boeing never built the basic 757-100 as launch customers wanted the -200.
Would have performed better and with flight deck commonality with 767 made a good step up from 737.
Probably could operate into Westchester/White Plains.
