Gulfstream G500 Flight Test

 

  The Gulfstream G500 successfully completed its first flight.

 The aircraft climbed to an initial altitude of 10,500 feet and reached a maximum altitude of 15,000 ft. During the 2-hour-and-16-minute flight, the crew exercised all primary flight control systems; evaluated handling qualities and takeoff and landing configurations; performed a simulated approach and go-around and checked all systems using the Symmetry flight deck touchscreen controllers.  

 

Synthetic Vision

What is synthetic vision?  Synthetic vision is integrated into an aircraft cockpit Primary Flight Display  system that provides pilots a clear and intuitive means of understanding their flying environment.

The technology is often getting into the cockpits of new business aircraft
via avionics suites from companies, such as Rockwell Collins, Honeywell Garmin, Aspen etc.
 A retrofit for older aircraft can be a more complicated and costly proposition. The systems
require mass storage capability and a significant amount of bandwidth and processing
power, and the installations can be  invasive in an aftermarket
application
 . Garmin for example has reported solid sales of its G500,
G600

and G1000 retrofit cockpit systems, the latter with synthetic vision technology as a standard feature.

 Honeywell made synthetic vision available to operators of the Pilatus
PC-12 NG as an option on its Primus Apex flight deck, which is designed
for single-engine turboprops through light jets. Operators of the PC-12 can get
essentially the same SmartView synthetic vision that is available on Honeywell’s
Primus Epic avionics found in much larger aircraft, such as the Gulfstream G650
and Dassault Falcon 900EX and the news aircraft Falcon 7x etc.

SYNTHETIC VISION

Citation Longitude

the Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck system combines four digital touch-screen controllers and three multi-pane, widescreen displays enhanced with Garmin Synthetic Vision Technology
 

 Garmin’s SVT shows the pilot a 3-D virtual representation of terrain, obstacles and traffic equally well in the instrument or visual flight conditions. Critical flight data is displayed in a widescreen view for accurate, easy monitoring and fast troubleshooting.

 

GARMIN G3000

new G3000 avionics include improved turbulence detecting weather radar, TCAS II, advanced Terrain Awareness Warning Systems , a wireless media server, Garmin integrated cockpit and cabin Iridium phone, and high speed internet capabilities from Aircell.
