GARMIN UNVEILS G5000® PRIME: A NEW ERA IN INTEGRATED FLIGHT DECK TECHNOLOGY

Garmin has announced the launch of its most advanced integrated flight deck to date — the G5000® PRIME, specifically engineered for Part 25 transport aircraft. This cutting-edge system, infused with Garmin’s hallmark innovation, is purpose-built to simplify operations, boost efficiency, and elevate flight safety, all while reducing crew workload.

Precision Engineering for Transport Category Aircraft

Designed with the operational rigours of Part 121 operators in mind, G5000 PRIME delivers a seamless and modern cockpit experience, setting a new standard for flight deck integration in transport category aircraft. It represents a future-ready platform that supports global airspace modernisation and advanced automation.

 

Touch the Future: Smart Displays & Enhanced Interface

At the heart of the G5000 PRIME is a bold new visual interface — edge-to-edge, fingerprint-resistant touchscreen displays that offer rapid response and high-resolution control of all flight systems. These displays feature a 40% increase in area over previous generations, providing more real estate for intuitive, multi-touch interaction and enhanced situational awareness.

 

Pilots can now operate the same display simultaneously and stabilise their hands during turbulence without triggering false inputs — a critical advancement in flight deck ergonomics.

 

Performance Boost with Unmatched Connectivity

Backed by doubled processing power and quadrupled memory, the G5000 PRIME system architecture enables gigabit connectivity, delivering smooth animations and high refresh rates for mission-critical responsiveness.

 

Intuitive Crew-Centered Design

From quick-access app bars and radial menus to window management presets across the deck, every aspect of the G5000 PRIME layout has been reengineered with the crew in mind. The addition of dedicated cursor control devices (CCD) provides pilots with tactile command over essential systems, streamlining cockpit workflows and reducing cognitive load.

 

Simplified Operations, Global Capability

Fully aligned with modern airspace management demands, the G5000 PRIME supports FAA Data Comm, Link 2000+ CPDLC, FANS 1/A+, and ACARS, while Connext® global datalink services enable real-time weather, messaging, and voice communication anywhere in the world.

 

Maintenance teams also benefit, with remote diagnostics and aircraft health monitoring capabilities that ensure quicker turnaround and more proactive fleet management.

 

Automation that Elevates Safety

G5000 PRIME brings next-level automation to the cockpit with tools such as Emergency Descent Mode, Garmin Autothrottles, and Runway Occupancy Awareness (ROA), which uses GPS and ADS-B to alert flight crews to potential incursions or collisions. These features are complemented by Runway Overrun Awareness and Alerting System (ROAAS), 3D SafeTaxi®, Garmin SurfaceWatch™, and Taxiway Routing with SVT™, ensuring full spatial awareness from pushback to parking.

 

Built to Last

With more than 30,000 Garmin flight decks operating worldwide, G5000 PRIME builds on proven performance, offering modular, interchangeable LRUs for fast field replacement and minimal downtime — a must for today’s demanding operational environments.

 

 

The G5000 PRIME marks a bold stride toward the future of crewed flight decks — a fusion of safety, simplicity, and smart design engineered for the skies of tomorrow.
