Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. announced the Garmin Head-up Display (GHD 2100), for super-midsize, midsize and light business aircraft. The GHD system includes contemporary optical design within a solo display unit, projecting a clear view of relevant flight information while also providing better incorporation with Garmin Integrated Flight Decks for a near-seamless transition between the GHD and primary flight display (PFD).
The GHD is a solid, self-contained projection system with a large 30-degree by 24-degree field-of-view. Driven by the Garmin Integrated Flight Deck, the GHD projects a familiar presentation of important flight information, symbology and more, contributing to improved safety and operational benefits and offering best situational awareness during every phase of the flight.
“Industry studies indicate that flying with a HUD is safer in reduced visibilities, deteriorating weather conditions and in challenging environments,” said Carl Wolf, Garmin vice president of aviation sales and marketing. “We’ve worked hard to harmonize the GHD and Garmin’s Integrated Flight Decks so pilots are provided with a seamless in-flight experience throughout the cockpit. Pilots can expect the innovation and future growth potential available with the GHD to be matched with the same forward-thinking advancements we’ve cultivated for more than a decade with the Garmin Integrated Flight Deck and many other avionics solutions.”
Garmin also announced that the new GHD will be incorporated on the new super-midsize Cessna Citation Longitude, in conjunction with the G5000™ Integrated Flight Deck. Wolf added, “We are proud to expand our long-standing relationship with Textron Aviation by providing the latest HUD technologies on the new, state-of-the-art Citation Longitude business jet.”
