Garmin International recently received Supplemental Type Certification (STC) from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the GI 275 electronic flight instrument in the Dassault Falcon 7X business jet. As per Garmin, the GI 275 is the replacement for the original secondary flight display (SFD), the primary GI 275 integrates with the aircraft’s existing systems to be configured as an attitude-direction indicator (ADI) with synthetic vision technology (SVT) to display the Falcon’s flight path, in addition to attitude, heading, altitude, airspeed, and vertical speed.
Carl Wolf, Vice President, Aviation Sales, and Marketing, at Garmin said: “We are delighted to collaborate with Dassault Aviation and bring the GI 275 to the Falcon cockpit. The popular GI 275 redefines the capabilities of a standby flight display, and we’re excited that almost 300 aircraft in the Falcon line globally will now have the opportunity to be retrofitted with this integrated and intuitive solution.”
Also, Garmin said that adding a second GI 275 to the copilot’s side reduces the flight crew’s workload by providing multifunction display (MFD) capabilities.
