VALUE KA ADDED
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) further extends the validation of this certification to also include hundreds of makes and models of European-registered general aviation aircraft.
Enhanced Map and Display Functionality
Newly improved dynamic maps expand upon the existing rich and vibrant mapping display capabilities within the G500/G600 glass flight display system. Expertise leveraged from incorporating dynamic maps within the GTNTM 650/750 touchscreen avionics series is integrated into the G500/G600, resulting in vivid and superior display quality. In addition to the newly enhanced display capabilities, Geo-referenced Garmin FliteCharts terminal approach procedures add an elevated level of situational awareness. When flying an Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP), a magenta aircraft icon is overlaid on the approach plate so pilots can easily identify their location relative to the approach.
WireAware incorporates wire-strike avoidance technology to graphically overlay power line locations and altitude information on the moving map. Altitude is displayed in mean sea level (MSL) and above ground level (AGL), so power lines are easier to identify relative to the aircraft flight path. For added protection, Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) alerting is also available to provide visual and aural alerting.
Smart Airspace integration makes it easier for pilots to identify what airspace lies ahead. This feature conveniently highlights the airspace nearest to the aircraft’s current altitude and de-emphasizes non- pertinent airspace so pilots can quickly distinguish their location to the relevant airspace around them. Additionally, newly incorporated airspace altitude overlays are depicted on the moving map and reduce pilot workload, particularly in congested airspace. Advanced ADS-B Integration
Garmin brings Vantage ADS-B integration to the G500/G600 with the optional GDL 88 ADS-B datalink, offering pilots the opportunity to display safety enhancing ADS-B traffic and subscription-free Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) weather on these flight displays. TerminalTrafficTM provides pilots with a comprehensive picture of ADS-B-equipped aircraft and ground vehicles in the airport environment. ADS- B-equipped aircraft in-flight are easily distinguished from ground vehicles and taxiing aircraft, which are displayed using distinct colors and symbols. Enhancing the traffic display, TargetTrendTM relative motion technology helps pilots visualize the trend of traffic as it relates to their aircraft, while innovative dual-link technology provides pilots with the most comprehensive ADS-B traffic picture available in the industry.
