Honeywell announced that in less than two years, 30 percent of Gulfstream operators have elected to install Honeywell’s SmartView synthetic vision in their PlaneView equipped aircraft.
Gulfstream’s Synthetic Vision-Primary Flight Display (SV-PFD) is based on Honeywell’s Primus Epic integrated avionics suite and is in Gulfstream G350, G450, G500, and G550 aircraft.
The latest PlaneView upgrade has several new features including the use of range rings that allow the flight crew a ground reference to gauge the distance of terrain and obstacles from the aircraft, and high resolution runway detailing that allows the crew to clearly identify visually the runway they are taking off from, reducing the risk of a runway incursion.
